A New Look! A New Giveaway!

What do you think of the new look?  It took me all day to figure out how to get the header working (Have I ever mentioned what a complete idiot I am when it comes to computers?)  Love it?  Hate it?  Don’t really care as long as I’m giving you info about saving money?

To celebrate the new look, I’m having another giveaway that starts RIGHT NOW.  I’ll be giving away another one of my handmade rings made of sterling silver and Swarovski crystals.  I sell these (like hotcakes, especially with my Holiday Craft Fair season coming up) for $20 each.  They are on stretch cord so they are one-size-fits-most (although if you are the winner and your fingers are larger than most, just let me know and I’ll make a bigger one for you).  The winner will get his/her choice of Montana Blue, Rose or Crystal.

Here’s how to enter:  Leave a comment letting me know how you HONESTLY think of the new look….or if you love it, what would you like to see more of in this site? 

More recipes (or less recipes)? 

Information on different stores? 

Want to volunteer to add the deals for your local store (especially if you live in Philadelphia and want to do Pathmark or Shop-Rite, but any store nationwide would be fine)  

Any other issue you would like me to take a stab at covering?

Entries/Comments will be accepted until Thursday September 4th at 8:30pm.  That gives me until then to track down and figure out how to use that Randomizer thingy in order to pick a winning comment.  Make sure that you leave the correct email when posting (will only be seen by me) so that I can get in touch with you if you are the winner!

And now – let me have it!  What do you think?

    I like it! Nice clean, crisp look…you did a great job ;)

  2. Jen says:

    I like it. The tabs make it really easy to look by topic. I get the updates through an RSS feed, but sometimes want to look for something specific. Great job!

  3. Marta Costa says:

    I love it. Very clean lines. Keep the recipes coming…i’m always looking for new ones!

  4. Mary Jenkins says:

    The new look is great…I love the recipes, especially when you put the price of the meal. I am always looking for cheap and yummy meals to feed my family. Keep up the good job!!!!

  6. Heather says:

    I love the new look! The only thing I’d change is to add a little more color but the clean lines really work. I love the recipes and I can’t tell you how many times I’m working on dinner trying to figure out how much I’m spending on what I’m making…thanks to you!

    I like the new look! And I would LOVE one of your rings, for sure. I love your site, especially when there is links for free samples. I really really like that a whole bunch. I signed up for that service that emails you a weeks worth of recipes (it’s very good!) so I don’t need recipes for now.

    Jodi Lewiss last blog post..Youch!

  9. Chrissy says:

    I love the new look, the tabs make everything easy to find. Thanks!

  10. kelly says:

    love it! just found you earlier this week so i’m enjoying everything so far but always up for a good recipe ;)

  11. Carri says:

    I like the new look a lot! Clean, neat, professional looking but not boring. What’s up with the silly faces on the comments, can we choose which one we get? I like recipes if they are easy, the pumpkin muffins are so yummy I made them yesterday. I also like knowing about free stuff and really good deals.

  12. Stacey says:

    Looks nice. I like the tabs at the top. I was a little confused at first, but after coming back a few times I really like it.

  13. Christy says:

    I really like the look of your new header. Very pretty. My favorite part of your site is the freebies you list.

  14. Alicia says:

    Well, I just found your site, so don’t know what it looked like before, but I do like the layout now. I’m not from the PA area, but still love finding advice on using coupons and saving money. I’m a disabled Mom of four, so have a pretty huge grocery bill! lol Really appreciate all the help I can get!

  15. Julie says:

    I like the clean new look. I also like the recipe component.
    I always find it helpful to learn about someone’s journey to becoming a frugal, coupon diva.

  16. Briana says:

    I like it ! I like on the front page how you only see a nice summary and then you click to get to the full article! I like how those are in boxes. Great job! I know it is a lot of work! :)

  17. Michelle says:

    I HATE it. I hate change. And now instead of reading it all on one page I have to click a link to read all of it. BOO!

  18. DianeScraps says:

    Somethings I like, somethings I miss. I did like being able to read through all of the latest blog right on the front page, I also liked the comments links being right on the front page (cause your readers have shared some info that I have found very helpful!)

    I LOVE the recipes, and especially love seeing the comments about them.

    I do like the tabs, so I can easily get to deals, or look for somehting yummy to make for supper.

  20. Honestly, I’m a new user. I was reading your newest post at Blissfully Domestic and hopped over to tell you how thrilled I am going to be to buy 8 boxes of poptarts for $2.

    I think you’re site looks great, and I’ll be back more often to try to squeeze more out of our budget. :)

    I have never been here before either but it looks great! I really love the rings too.

  32. Jen Mc says:

    I came on over to your blog a little over a month ago through the Grocery Gathering for the Giant sales posting. Humm, more stores, maybe a Wegmans post. Have you checked them out lately? I too am starting to start to wander from Giant.
    I do like trying new recipes, so keep them coming.
    I like being able to read the full post instead of clicking on it. I also like the tabs.

  33. Brandy says:

    I love it, it looks great. I would be interested in posting deals for my area, I am in SC. I think the rings are so cute. I love finding unique jewelry. Thanks for such a great giveaway.

  48. Courtney says:

    It’s very easy on the eyes. I’m raising three girls so maybe I’m just partial to pink. ;) I love the banner too!

  49. Laura says:

    This is my first visit–don’t know what it looked like before. But it could use a categories list. Don’t really care about “most read” and “recent comments.” It’s best to have good links on your sidebar or header for the rest of your site. Need to have a good synopsis of what to expect on your site by well-linked categories. BUT, I do love the header and think your site has great potential! AND I really do love your taste in jewelry! Thanks for the chance to win!

  50. amber lester says:

    I love these rings, they are gorgeous! I am not sure what your website looked like before so I cant really tell you if I like it more or not, BUT I do love the look of this sight.
