My 2 cents: I’d rather have more deals than a constantly revised list. I love the way this site is organized and how it is PERTIENT to the area. Thanks Carrie!

I like the daily emails! I spend most of my day working on the computer but not on personal stuff so it’s a daily reminder of bargains I should check. Also, some of the freebies run out so fast I wouldn’t be able to participate in any of them ,if I had to check the entire web site.I only have time to view the entire web site about once a week. I probably wouldn’t even find time for that if it weren’t for the daily reminders of how many fantastic deals you find. Thanks for providing such a wonderful service!

I love that you are updating the lists through out the week. It is also nice to note when it has changed in the post. At times I print the list if I am making it at work or in the car…it is great to be able to pin point the new updates easily. I am super excited to see the rainbow list earlier…Sunday evenings are less crazy for me…it would be great to have my list ready to go before Tuesday night! Thanks for all your hard work!

I agree I like the flagged updates to the original list. I subscribe to several blogs and websites so I appreciate the way you are doing it now.

I actually wasn’t aware that you update the shopping lists throughout. Therefore, I don’t know if this suggestion is somthing you already do or not. But, I would just make sure if you make an update to a shopping list or other post, that you note that it’s been updated with a date and time next to the name of the list and make sure that that post moves to the top of the list like it’s a newer post. I would hesitate to send additional alerts. Hope that helps! Love the site.

I like the way things work currently- where the main lists get updated. I usually take a look shortly after you post the ones I use and then again the day I plan to shop at that particular store (like Rainbow for doubles) and I appreciate your updates and having everything in one centralized place. If something really exceptional happened I wouldn’t mind an extra email though, I read a few favorite bargain blogs and I notice that happening mainly when something significant happens like an unadvertised catalina or rolling catalina.

I love that you update the master list. Before I make my list and go shopping, I always check the current list on the blog. It’s the primary reason, I always check PYD versus other blogs. I am a simple list person and most other blogs are information overload.

I like that store lists are updated with changes and additions – but I would also like to be notified if something is added, for example, when a new printable is found that matches up with an ad. I use the RSS feed so scrolling through the updates isn’t a big deal for me.

I love it how it is now…I am signed up through Google Reader and love checking for updates! I don’t always think to check facebook, but with the RSS I think I get all the info I need. I can’t believe how much time and work you two put into this–you amaze and inspire me to be a better shopper! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the way you are doing it now and just updating the list as necessary. Before I go to the store I always recheck the list for any changes plus I scan all the comments for additional deals that other people have posted in the comment section.Then I filter through and only buy the deals that fit my preferences . I won’t buy something just because it is free or close to free unless I or someone I know have a use or a need for the product.

I agree- I go to the website to get the updates, and like the flagged red to tell me there’s a change. I don’t need more emails besides what you currently send out.

I also think that one of your goals was to make us more independent/self-sufficient (or something like that), and you shoudn’t have to be responsible for us knowing about updates. We can just assume they’re going to happen, and if you flag them well (like you’re doing), we can be self sufficient enough to find them ourselves.

One thing on posting deals. What I appreciate about this site is it’s not TOO much like other sites, if there’s too much overload it paralyzes me. I am not paralyzed with too much (for the most part!) here. I appreciate all you do to filter stuff out, and just give us really good deals. And love how Carrie says “I don’t like to pay over X.oo, but if you’re new this is a good start etc.” YOu’re not posting any deal just to post it, you’re posting great deals.

Anyway, thanks thanks thanks

Leah – We never considered just doing a Facebook post and not updating the site itself. I am always amazed at the things I don’t think of :) I like your idea.
