I have been a follower since October. :)
I just posted it on my facebook page.
I'd like a regular posting of the best price of certain things. I'm starting a price book and would love some help with knowing when something is a good deal!
Follower horray!
Love your tips on food and saving money. I cant think of any thing that needs to be updated on the posting schedule.
More comparisons of making things from scratch (like sauces) and how much it will save you over buying the sauces.
I have been following you since late October!
Can't think of much you could improve on. I always wish that there were posts about our local grocery store (we have no Kroger, Publix, Albertsons, etc..). All we have is HEB and they don't double or have loyalty cards so any tips on them would help!
I've been following since August and saving, saving saving!
I'd love to see your free finds earlier in the week so I can benefit from your wisdom too!
I have been following since the fall.
i think you do a great job with your posts, enough, but not too much, i honestly wouldnt change a thing!
i tweeted!
I am a proud follower for months now
I really think that everything you do is great, and can't think of anything else to start or change.
Started following after my wife a couple months ago.

I started following you in October.
I love all the information and tips you post ~ can't think of a thing to change or add. Your blog is just great the way it is!
I have been a follower since March 2009 when I attended your class.
I'm following!
I've been a follower for a very short time...today actually. :)
I've been a follower for a very short time...today actually. :)
I have been following you since the summer!
Maybe you could incorporate a Freebie Friday, where you list free deals or ask others to post things they have been able to pick up for free. Other than that, I think this blog is doing great!
I have been following you for about 6 months now!
I wouldn't mind seeing a monthly summary of your savings - like your shopping recap posts, but rolled into 1 monthly sumamry. But thats a loot of extra work if its not already something you track - so in that case, just keep doing what you are doing!
I've been a follower since September - thanks for the great tips & ideas!
I have been a loyal follower for about three months now. Love your blog!
I love your posts and don't think you need to change anything. If I HAD to pick something, I would like a little more detail on your shopping trip summary and any more tips would be greatly appreciated - keep 'em coming! Thanks!
I also posted a link on my blog. Thanks so much for these fun giveaways!
I don't know that I have any brilliant suggestions for your site, I think you are doing a great job covering a lot of areas. One idea for giveaways would be for newcomers to win a chance to be in a coupon class of yours.
I am a follower! :)

Can't think of anything else to add to your blog! :)
been following your blog for at least 6 months! Keep up the inspiration : )

Can't wait to make another trip to super kroger...love the deals you can score there.
Lori
love your blog! great tutorial tuesday ideas
I just facebooked about you!
I am a follower.
I have been following you for about four mouths.
I think you're doing a great job with what you have. Keep up the great work.
I'm a proud follower!

Laura, I think you have a unique blog in a world FULL of money-saving blogs. Instead of posting every little deal you find, you spend more time teaching and demonstrating frugality! (Honestly, sometimes I think those every-deal-in-the-world blogs cause me to spend more money!) Add to that your upbeat, uplifting tone, and you have quite a successful blog! If you wanted to add something, I agree with the previous poster who suggested doing more price comparisons between store-bought items and made-from-scratch items (like the spaghetti sauce). Keep up the GREAT work!
Follower since August.
I tweeted! (http://twitter.com/laceyrumley/status/7234574247)
Hmm, I think your blog is perfect! I can say that I do not want to see retail deals and updates for every single fantastic coupon that is out there. I have to blogs in my reader that about to go because I can't handle the updates 20 times a day.
I'm sure whatever new idea you come up with will be great. I really do like your scheduled posts like "though provoking thursdays" and such. Keep up the good work!
I am a follower.
I'm a follower of six months.
Happy Blog-o-versary!!
I've been a follower for several months now!
Maybe we could see a review of the week-- how much you spent total, how much you saved total, what you used, etc. Also, maybe once in a while we could see what you didn't use that you got with coupons-- although I'm not sure this ever happens with you!! :)
I sent out a Tweet informing people of this great giveaway!! @rnoelhaney
Love your blog. Especially the recipes and money saving tips. Can't think of anything I'd add or change.
I'm a new follower. My daughter introduced me and I love your deals!

I agree with some of the other posters, in that I read your blog more for your tips on frugality. Don't get me wrong, I rely on your deal posts and coupon match ups, but I love your blog's balance!
I'd love it if you'd be able to offer an online version of your coupon class. I know you'd have to charge a fee, but I'm sure the savings would off-set it.
I've been a follower since early last summer. I love walking out of a store knowing I have saved my family serious money!
Happy New Year, Laura!

I have been following for several months. :)
I'd love to see more info on how to shop for and help charities; local, regional, and national. I like your work with that. (e-mail in profile)
I am a follower :)
Only change I would make is MORE PICTURES!!!!! I know you've streamlined your shopping in the last few months, but I miss the pictures of all your awesome shopping adventures (especially your Grandma's Target gift card challenge!!!). That is the fun stuff :) Thanks for everything this year!

In addition to the things you're already doing, which are all really helpful for me, I would enjoy seeing what you spend each week, total. For example, you've mentioned that you only use a particular brand of Tide detergent, but I'm pretty sure you don't always have a coupon for it. Do you buy things like this from CVS, rolling over your ECBs, or do you sometimes have to pay full price?
I have to buy certain items each week, and sometimes I've stockpiled them and sometimes I haven't, so I have to pay more for them than I want to. Does this happen to you, and if so, how do you fit it into your budget?
Just an idea... Thanks, Laura!

I would Like to see more recipes and cooking tips Like a recipe exchange at holidays
I'm a follower
I also liked the Target gift card challenge. That is one of the things I always tell my friends about your Target card challenge.
But, I really like your site!
I posted about your giveaway on my FB page.
I've been a follower for about two months!
I'd love to see how you track your spending/saving (I think you've showed it before, but it never hurts to see it again!) and how you keep track of/spend/save things like ECB, RR and rebates.
Ive been a follower for about 3 months now.
Started following in June! Love your blog!
I was wondering if you shop/coupon for "organic" items and if so, I'd like to hear more postings about this next year.
I've been your follower since your coupon class. Love your blog. Thanks for all your great money saving ideas!
only been a follower a couple days but have frequented your blog for a few months!
i too would like to see more organic natural health times...as we are gluten free and don't eat any refined foods!
I love the variety of the postings...no suggestions, just keep up the good work!
I'm a new follower (since yesterday), though I've read your site often, linked from Macomb Money Savers! :)
Since I don't tweet, I did the next best thing: I emailed the 157 members of "HPBC Coupon Friends" on Facebook and reminded them to become a follower, if they are not already. Love all you do. Barb
Umm I'm with another poster I'm not sure what you can change I think all the metro Detroit bloggers have found their own niche and do a good job of keeping things unique!
I'm a follower of you. Love the blog!

I've been a follower for a few months. I love that you're local. :)
I have enjoyed your blog (and sense of humor)for a month now. Keep up the good work. Happy, healthy New Year to all.
Follower since May!
I'd love to see a regular posting about different ways to bless friends, neighbors, and those in need with our coupon bounty!
Faithful follower since summer '09.
I'd love to see a post about saving money when buying meat. This is one area that I haven't tackled yet.
I am already a follower!
Thank you
Heather
I posted you up on my blog.

I have been on your blog for a few months now but just became a follower :)
I just love Target!!! I ahve been a follower since September 09 and have saved tons of money. I recommend your class to everyone that uses coupons. I can't get enough of them.
I'm a follower! Thank you for such an awesome giveaway! I *love* Target!
I'd love it if you'd post more of the deals that you score. The other day you were posting how you haven't paid for toilet paper in years. I'd like you to post when you buy things like toilet paper, toothpaste and things of that sort and how much you paid for them and which coupons you used. I'm still having trouble in this area.
I posted about your giveaway on my Facebook!
Off to Texas tomorrow and can't wait to start CVS'ing.

I'm a faithful follower since I took your class in April.
I would love to see some of your tips on saving money in non-grocery/pharmacy areas for 2010. I know you have great money saving tips that stretch beyond the basics that I know!
I enjoy the tutorials! I file them to reference.
Your site ROCKS the way it is, but if you'd like to share---I'd like to see a monthly recap of what your total spent/saved was!!!
I can't think of any suggestions right now. I love your site. Thanks for all of your help saving money this year!
I've been an official follower for a few months.
I am a loyal follower and have attended one of your classes!!
Thank you for all your work to help us all save money!
I'm a follower!
I've been following since the summer, took a class in September.
Maybe some more Q&A?
I'm a follower!
I'd like to see a listing of best prices for certain foods...meat, produce etc. as a reference. I have a spreadsheet that shows me the best deals on diapers and I often reference it!
I'd also like to see more coupon tips,websites, or deals for organic food. I know they are hard to find, but I don't buy regular eggs and milk because of the hormones. I'd like to see more healthy deals!
I'm a follower and have been for a while!! Congrats on the one year mark. I'm looking forward to many more posts!
I've been a follower since I took the class at HPBC this fall. I have gotten some great tips and some great deals but I am promising myself that I will check more diligently next year! Elaine Carter got me going and I
am very glad! BTW this is my first time EVER posting to a blog!
I've been a loyal follower since April 2009.
Would love to win the gift card...could use it.

Hi,
I am Kara and i have been following your blog for the past 6 months. After i took your class i was amazed at what you could do. Thank you for showing me the way to saving lots of $$. I would like to see more hot deals posted on your blog~
I have been following your blog since October and always look forward to learning about new ways to save!
Deven
For something I'd like to see incorporated I'd have to say maybe links to printable coupons!
I like everything you are currently doing! Over the past week I have stockpiled maxi pads, tampons, dishsoap,cookie dough, potatoes and bar soap. I have spent less than $5.00 out of pocket.
You rock!
I'm a follower (can't log in on my phone). Thanks for all your wisdom.
I would like to see you breakdown a grocery store visit. Explain not just how many coupons you had but for which items.
HAPPY New Year to my favorite blog!
I have been following since summer 2009 and I love the site and check it every day! Thanks for all you do!

I've been a supporter since January.
