Since Bargains to Bounty began (under a different name) about 2 1/2 years ago, many new readers have joined the ranks. I’m continually thankful for each and every one of you – for your comments, your support and the way that you help each other out. There’s a sense of community here (and on the Facebook page) that I never realized was possible!
Because today is my birthday, I have but one simple (and somewhat selfish) request: would YOU consider sharing today? How did you find this website? How has it changed your shopping habits or made a difference for your family?
Your story doesn’t have to be long – and I won’t be grading on grammar or spelling! But I’d love to hear what you have to say!
Chantel says
Stumbled across it about 6 months after a lady in my moms group mentioned it. By the time I ‘found’ it I had a basic idea about couponing, but it helps to have the local smaller stores on a list too.
Ashley C says
First of all Happy Birthday Jolyn!
I was first introduced to couponing by a nurse I work with. Oh boy!What did I get myself into! Like everyone, you have those first big highs of finding your first bargains, but then of course you have those disapoinments where you aren’t getting the good deals or you get lost in the whole thing, but finally getting the hang of it. Needing a buddy I draged my sister into couponing too. Each week we would trek the 45 minute drive to Bay City from where I live because the coupon match ups were for Meijers, Krogers, and Walgreens. Gas prices started to go up and I felt bad not keeping my money local, so I started my search for a coupon matchup for my local grocery store Vg’s. Low and behold I found Bargains to Bounty! This is my favorite site to check out all of the deals! This site has helped me save money in more ways than one! Not only do I save in groceries I also save gas and support my local business! So, I would just like to thank you for all the time and effort that you put into this site because I sincerly appreciate it! I would be lost without you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Brenda Baum says
Two years ago a new colleague/friend of mine Nicole told me about her couponing adventures. Her mother had attended one of your couponing classes and got the fever. I assured my new friend that I shopped sales, used AngelFood Ministries and Aldis. Truely I thought that there was no way I’d save any more than I already did, but I went to your couponing class at Higgins Elementary in Chesterfield Twp anyway. I learned so much that I didn’t know and now save a TON of money! It is my new hobby and has changed even my teenagers! We don’t buy unless we have coupons..even clothing, shoes, dinners out…EVERYTHING! For Christmas my hubby bought me a new printer…just so I could expand my couponing addiction! I so love having a stockpile of things I can gift people with, give to our school pantry and give to friends in need. My trust is in the LORD but I believe He gives us our intellect to use…and buying things cheap to use at a later date is prudent…see the Parable of the women with the oil in their lamps!
Your website has been a Godsend to me! I am thankful for the time you have spent organizing my hobby…Bless You!
Lynda says
Happy birthday! I found your site about 1 1/2 years ago. I was searching for a coupon blogger that was closer to my area. I used couponmom.com but sometimes the store sales didn’t match up w/ those near me. I found your site & have been thrilled w/ it ever since. I really appreciate all the work you do! I used to pour over ads trying to match up sales to coupons & it made me kind of crazy : ) your site has definitely made my shopping easier! I also am able to donate items to the Salvation Army which I really couldn’t do before. Thank you!
Diane says
I heard about your website last year from the gal at A Busy Mom’s Slow Cooker adventures. I looked through your site a couple times, but wasn’t really into couponing then. Then in May I decided to start “extreme couponing” and hunt for the best deals, and I remembered your site and now I check it all the time! I’m not in Metro Detroit anymore (I’m in Lenawee county now) but I love love love your Meijer matchups! They are the best and most thorough I have found. Thanks for doing all the nitty gritty work for this busy mom! 🙂 Have a wonderful birthday!
SarahMay says
I started couponing through MoneySavingMom (back at her Biblical Homemaking blog!) and eventually found your site through hers. You had the best (most organized) Meijer matchups; so even though I’m on the other side of Michigan (and our Meijer stores don’t double… grumble…), I use Bargains to Bounty every-other week for my big grocery trips!
Have also really appreciated your presence on Facebook, great links, and strong stand on ethical couponing. There is information through B2B that I don’t see anywhere else!
Angela says
Happy birthday!!! What a help you have been to me and my family for the past 3 years! I found you via another blogger and have been so thankful. We recently had our 4th child so time is limited around here! You make my shopping trip preparation much less complicated. I have been able to cut our weekly grocery bill in 1/2 consistently and have donated so much to our church! THANK YOU for all the time you put into this site. Blessings!
Kathi says
Happy Birthday!!!
I’ve been a “fan” for over a year. I think I found your site when I was searching for coupon matching sites in Michigan, I think…I can’t remember for sure. I’m getting older and the gray matter isn’t as sharp as it once was 😉
Jolyn, I have sent you emails to say thank you, but it feels so impersonal to me. I truly wish I lived closer to Metro-Detroit because then I could catch one of your classes and thank you in person. Over the course of this last year you have helped me save my family THOUSANDS! My hubby & I are this () close to getting rid of all our credit card debt in large part thanks to you and your help with all the coupons & match-ups. By this time next year we will have NO CC debt, our car will be paid off 2 years early and we will only have about 12 more years to pay on our mortgage.
You are my “internet angel” and I tell everyone about your site.
Thanks to you just yesterday I donated a HUGE laundry basket filled with HBC stuff to go to our troops. I think I “might” have about $7.00 oop for the whole laundry basket. If you could have seen the expressions on the ladies faces when I had to ask for some help to carry the basket in! You have always stressed the importance of “paying it forward” and I had a Mom who raised me that way as well, which is why I have been so loyal to your site and I will continue to be. You have blessed so many people, and we in turn get to bless others thanks to you. You are an amazing woman and I wish you nothing but joy and peace for your birthday!
Take care,
Kathi
Rachel says
Happy birthday, Jolyn!!!!
I found B2B by recommendation of several friends! After about the 3rd or 4th person to suggest the site/FB page, I finally caved and decided to check out the hype 🙂 Man, am I glad I did! I couponed on my own, but could never figure out how people managed to figure out such great deals…the first time I shopped using matchups from you, I skipped out of the store because I was so happy to save triple what I would normally save! With food costs rising so drastically, it’s nice to be able to keep saving money and keep our budget on track! Thanks for all the hard work you do, hun! It means a lot to all of us! Enjoy your day!!!
Kelly says
Happy Birthday to you!!!
I found your website through Monroe on a Budget blog. At the time that I found you, we were in debt up to our ears and I was searching for ways to feed our family cheap so that we could pay off debt. Thanks to your great matchups every week I am able to feed our family of 4 on $250 a month (that includes cleaning and toiletries too!).
I tell everyone I know about your website! Thank you for all you do. God Bless you and your family. Enjoy your birthday!
Kelly says
Happy Birthday!!! I just started to get in to couponing for real about 8 months ago. I had always clipped coupons and got excited when I saved $40. I stumbled upon your site through FB I think back in April. You are now the only blog I check daily and I do not grocery shop without coming here first. I can now to go Meijer or Kroger and save a minimum of $60 without even really trying. Your site has been so helpful and your FB page has been truly wonderful as well. I enjoy posting questions to get feed back from women in SE Michigan. I have shared your site with several women I work with (and the wife of one man) and we all enjoy it. Thank you for all that you do!!!
Carmen at Old House Kitchen says
Happy Birthday, Jolyn!
I used to try to shop between Kroger, Meijer, CVS, and Walmart. I’d use various sites to get the deals for all but Meijer. I could never find one for Meijer. I somehow stumbled upon yours…not sure how. Well as far as I’m concerned the CVS and Walgreens deals have become too complicated for this season in my life and Kroger isn’t near me so it’s an out of the way trip if I go. Now I only use Bargains to Bounty for my Meijer shopping deals. On Saturday’s I either print out your match up list (or cut and paste a few sections to print out if there aren’t that many deals that week) and print out coupons then on Sunday I sit with my add, my print out, coupons, and make a list. I save so much time and money! I really appreciate all that you do! Thanks so much!
Agnes says
Hi Jolyn & Happy Birthday!
My sister is the one who told me for months, and I mean months, to get a hold of our cousin and ask her how she gets her deals. And your web site was the first one she told me about. And then as I was shopping in Wal Mart, the cashier noticed that I was using a good amount of coupons and she asked me, “Do you know about Bargains to Bounty web site?” And that that is where she go’s to get her best coupon deals. I thought, “wow” even the cashier is a couponer. So, thank you for all the work that you do and so far to date, since February of this year, I have been able to get super cheap, or free, toothpaste, toothbrushes & body wash! I have a family of 6 and 3 are teenage boys and they do stink, at times. 🙂
Thanks again!
Carmen at Old House Kitchen says
I forgot to add that whenever I’m at the store I mention your site at least twice to some other shopper or to a cashier who’s fascinated by the coupons, deals, etc.
michelle says
Happy Birthday 🙂 I have to first of all say thank you loads for saving me so much money! I hope in someway you get paid back for all the hard work you do and I hope you can see how many people you help!
I found “Bargains to Bounty” when I googled coupon matchups after watching that new extreme couponing show! I had just lost my job and had 4 out of 6 of my children at home and one of them was just in a horrible car accident and needed to be cared for along with his 4 year old son. (Went from 3 kids at home back to 5 again.) My son that was in a car accident had total facial reconstruction and had few teeth left, which meant, special diet and easy to “gum” foods and supplements to make sure he was getting enough vitamins for proper healing in the face and several other broken bones in the rest of his body. He was also just getting back on his feet after experiencing job loss, so he had no insurance, health or auto.
Anyway, you can get the picture, I started clipping and looking at your site at least 5X a day so I could learn exactly how to do this “coupon” thing. I used coupons before, on and off but did not realize how much they could help me! You also made it so easy for me! You had the list all set up for me, all I had to do is pick what items I needed, find the coupons and go to the store. Because time was such an issue with dealing with all this other stuff, I didn’t even look at the grocery ad. I let you do all the work for me! After the accident my family use to say, Thank God you lost your job so someone could care for him, I would say Thank God for that Bargains to Bounty person, they have no idea what they have done for me! I don’t live in an area that has double couponing but you did the meijer matchups I needed and the double couponing just wasn’t even an issue. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!
Colleen says
I found your site about a year ago from a link on another site. I quickly realized that you have the best match-ups for my home in Mid-Michigan. I have recommended your site to many friends and family. You have helped to save me a ton of money. I recommend B2B to anyone who asks about couponing!
michelle says
I too tell every stranger behind me at the grocery store about your site! Someone always has a question about how many coupons I use! You would think they would be annoyed, but I think they are more intrigued.
christine says
Found you in May when I read an article in the News/Free Press. I carry it in my store binder. This week at a Bible study, I shared what a wonderful Christian site you have. Many of the women recorded your web site info on the inside covers of their study guides!
Kristina C says
Happy Birthday! I linked to you through another coupon blog. I was so glad to find a blog that is geographically close to me! When following out-of-state blogs it was hard to remember to always double check ads and sales since they are sometimes regional. You are now the only grocery blog I follow and definately the one blog I follow most. I luv ya!
sarah says
happy birthday!!
My first baby was born last December. We decided that I would be a stay at home mom, so I had planned to start shopping sales, and using coupons. I feel that since I don’t bring money in that it’s my job to keep some from going out. I didn’t realize just how much I could save until I found your site through the free press. I have been able to spend the same or less every week while getting so much more. I buy a lot of fresh food now (to make food for my son-which is way cheaper and yummier than baby food) as well as stock up on a lot of items. I love that I have been able to help family members that are going through a tough time. I couldn’t afford to give them money, but I can pick up extra free/cheap products. Thank you sooooo much for all you do. The time and money you save us all is enormous. Also, like you said, this is a community, so thank you to everyone who shares deals, ideas, and advice!!
melissa walker says
I found this site abount 8 months ago through word of mouth when someone saw me cutting coupons the old fashioned way. It sounds cheezy but your site has absolutly changed my family’s life. I always couponed but I cut every coupon…scouted the sale papers it would easily take at least 15 or so hours a week. As a full time working mother that is precious time away from my baby. Scince I have discovered your site and the whole coupon insert meathod it takes me about 15 to 20 min of prep time and my savings are ridiculous!!!!!!!!! (Sorry my spelling is horrible). My Husband is in the fire acadamy and having a stock pile allows us the ability to live life more comfortably. In fact most of my extended family ‘shop’s’ in my basment as well. In the last 8 months or so I have cut our grocery, toiletries, and household expenses from $120 a week to $40 a week!!!! I know this because I miticulously track everything. thank you soo much for your hard work, detication and forsite, you have truely made a difference in my families life and it does not go unoticed or unappreciated. have a great birthday and thanks so much for all that you do.
Michelle P says
I started using this website because pretty much everyone in my entire family used it for your Meijer list. I wish I would have kept track of how much money you have saved me in the past year I have been using your website, it’s probably easily hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
I can’t thank you enough for all you do!!!
Kathy says
A very Happy Birthday to you!
I found you through an article in the Detroit New/Free Press. I had always clipped a coupon or two but never matched them with sale prices. I was just looking for ways to reduce our grocery bills since they seemed to be going up more than ever. I am grateful to you for the time and energy you put into this site. Your tips and store matchups have helped me increase my savings.
Northwest Ohio says
Such a beautiful time of year for a birthday. Have a happy one!
I found out about your site from my Sister-in-law in March of 2010. I was delighted! I do most of my grocery shopping at Meijer and up to that point I had no idea there were websites out there that did matchups. And yours is by FAR the best one! However, just DAYS after I discovered you, I logged on and it said “This site has been shut down.” I was devastated! Thankfully, you were just undergoing a name change and your site was back up and running just a short time later.
I am extremely thankful for all the time and effort you put into this website. It is beyond helpful and I wouldn’t know how to grocery shop without it. Even though the deals are not near what they used to be a year ago, I am so grateful for the little I am still able to get because of your hard work.
God bless you, Jolyn!
April says
Happy Birthday ! I cam across your site last October, sense then I am on your site everyday. I started using coupons in October and now cannot shop without them. Your site has shown me how to use coupons and get deals on what my family needs and now I am starting to show friends how to use coupons and show them it is possible to save money, although i mess up from time to time on coupons i still save a lot . So a BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK ! Please remember to take some time off your Birthday it only comes around once a year.
laurie says
With a teacher’s and a self-employed transcriptionist’s salary, we were always finding it hard to make ends meet – add to that our third child, i knew i had to find a way to save $. I attended a seminar through a MOPS group at church and the speaker recommended your site – what a blessing it has been!! I’m still learning the ropes but just having your match-ups and advice helps more than i can say! And your kindness and true concern for your followers shines through and warms my heart! Blessings for a wonderful birthday and thank you.
Brenda B says
Happy Birthday!
I found you through a facebook friend who is affectionately known as the coupon queen around the neighborhood (thanks Judy W). Although I am not a big couponer yet, I have found some terrific deals and opportunities I would have otherwise never heard of. Thanks and you are much appreicated!
Wendy says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! My husband retired too early from GM. They more or less pushed him out the door. We still have a house payment and of course a wonderful GM car with payment. So money is very tight. I was at work and I was skimming through a Women’s Day magazine and of course every month they have the money saving tips. Well one of them was for a different blog as I was going through the site I noticed another blog and another I came across couponing to disney. One day I noticed that she was having different blogs state there blog names and what state they were from. So, now I come back everyday to visit. You are wonderful. May your birhday be a peaceful one.
Deanna Tyler says
I found this site through one of my husband’s friends…yes, a man turned me onto this site, when we were comparing our coupon deals for the week. I have to say that I love this site! It makes it SO much easier to find the best deals while caring for my 7-month-old twin boys. I don’t have to hunt through the sales papers and then search through my coupons for the corresponding ones. It is organized in a easy to follow format and always has links to the ones I don’t have.
Thank you so much for your time and effort…have a wonderful Birthday!
Lisa says
I heard about your website through a friend of mine who also does couponing and all I have to say is “Thank You!” You are a blessing to me. I don’t have time to look up the matchups or good deals because I work full time to support my family. I am sooo grateful for your help – just wanted you to know.
Andrea says
Happy Birthday!!
I was researching VG’s online because I heard about them doubling 1.00 coupons but really didn’t know anything about it. I was new to couponing and started off by liking a few coupon pages on facebook. When your site came up in my “VG’s Matchups” search, I started reading your blog right away and lets just say it kept me up well past midnight that night. I then found you on facebook and the rest is history. Thank you for all you do. I can’t imagine the work and time that goes into what you do, but I do know I appreciate it. With our tight budget we have to make every dollar stretch. I have a new view on saving and I now know what I like to spend on certain items. Sometimes I think back at all the things I paid full price for and still can’t believe it. What was I thinking!? Haha. I also love how you let everyone post the great deals they found or tell about garage sales or other things they are selling. You are always so kind in your responses and I can tell how down to earth you are. Your my first page I go to as soon as I log into facebook so I can catch up! I’ve passed your page on to many people and will continue to do so. Please don’t stop doing what you do because I’d be lost! Haha… Happy Birthday again!
Leslie K. says
Birthday Blessings, Jolyn!
Thanks to you, I have really been able to stretch my dollars! I haven’t been spending less (that’s my next step!), but I have a decent stockpile for my family of six. (And sometimes what looks like a stockpile turns out to be just enough to feed this brood!) Many thanks for all you enable us to do! You are an enabler..in a good way!!
Theresa says
Happy Birthday!!! I only started couponing a few months ago. I can say that I don’t think I have gotten to point to where I am saving money but I am for sure getting more for my money. Your website is my focal point for helpful information. I check it several times a day, waiting for your next post. Your match ups are a huge time savor! One week, I was going in between your website and another sale matchup website ( will remain unnamed). They had a deal posted that you didn’t. I rushed to the store with coupons in hand and that sale was not for our area. 🙁 In my mind “Why doubt bargains to bounty?” Thank you so much for such an informative and relaiable website!!!! Have a great birthday!
Marianne B says
♫♫Happy Birthday♫♫
I found your website through a friend of mine. I’m really glad I looked into because if I didn’t I would be losing out on a lot of money!! I have been a fan for about 1 1/2 years!! I am very grateful for what you do. I have friends and family who I now personally shop for cause they don’t believe me that I can get such great deals. Of course I come to you first to get the match-ups and I take their $10 and get everything they need/want. I am a stay at home mom and my husband does not make much money so I have to save where I can. He gets laid off for the winters and my huge stockpile gets us through the winter! Thank you for everything you do for everyone especially my family!!! ♥♥
Rita says
Happy Birthday! Before I begin, let me just say this: Take today to relax!!!
I found Bargains to Bounty by happy accident. I have always couponed, but never truly “Strategically” couponed until March of this year. I was flipping through ads for Meijer getting frustrated, when I thought to myself, “THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!” I googled “Meijer matchups” and ever since, I have been a loyal fan of B2B. Your blog is a GODSEND to new couponers who often struggle with determining what’s a good deal and what sales you can skip.
Thank you Jolyn! And keep up the awesome work. 🙂
Stacey says
Happy Birthday!
It began with watching a few episodes of EC….ugh. But I thought it was pretty neat. While I didn’t think I’d be able to do what they did, I still thought I could save some money trying. So I did a google search, and found B2B.
U have been able to save on some of my regular shopping, and I am beginning to start a nice stockpile!
Thank you so much for everything you do!
Jen says
Happy Birthday!!! I appreciate your time and effort in helping others save money. I started using coupons two years ago and found your blog via another blog. I use your Meijer and Kroger match-ups EVERY week and they way you organize the lists is the best! I appreciate the Meijer and Kroger lists every week and the time it takes to compile this information. It saves me so much time and money!!! My family appreciates all of the “extras” we can get with coupons and I love being able to have a stockpile. I’d be lost without you 🙂 Thanks!!
Karyn says
Hi Jolyn, Happy Birthday!!I believe it was about 2 yrs ago that my friend told me about “couponing”. I couponed but nothing too exciting. She told me she went to a class and was saving all this money. I was finally able to go to a class and your site was one that the “teacher” shared and I haven’t looked back. I use your listings every week and refer everyone I know to you. In fact, some are still using you religiously! You have definately helped our family in more ways than one! Thanks for all you do!
Carol V says
Happy Birthday!
About 6 months ago Stephanie that I work with showed me the way to coupon and this website. It was one of the greatest gifts anyone has given me. I have saved so much and will comfortably be able to go part time when I have my third child in October. I know that my family will eat well and have more time together, with a much less stressed mother.
Thank you Stephanie K and to you for all of your hard work on this website!
crystal says
A friend of mine told me about the website last December. It was at that time that I decided to give couponing a try. It has changed the way I organize my life. From how I plan meals to my weekly shopping trips. I would be lost without Bargainstobounty.com. I rely on it every week for helping me plan my shopping trips. Thank you for all your time.
Humor says
I have been couponing aggressively for a couple years. About a year ago I heard the term coupon matchup. I went straight to Dogpile to search it out and I found you. You are are number one tab opened on my computer. I tell everyone about your site. Because of you I’m down to 2 jobs and am getting tons for cheap and free, and easy.
Happy Birthday and God Bless You!
Vicki says
I found Bargins to Bountys a little over 2 months ago while looking for Meijers match ups. I love your site for the Meijers match ups and for the preview ad that comes out on Friday. This helps me plan for the following week and allows me time to order some clipped coupons if I see a great deal. Thanks for all your hard work! Vicki -Sandusky, Ohio
Roshina L. says
One blog led me to another and another then B2B! I depend on you so much for all my local match ups. I love the way B2B has a family type atmosphere, sharing and caring. Thank you so much.
AndiR says
Have a FANTASTIC birthday!
I learned about your site from a fellow teacher about 3 years ago. She always had these amazing lunches and I was eating PB&J- daily. I asked how in the world she could afford to eat so well on a teacher’s salary. She provided me with your site, explained the lingo…. and my couponing quest began. It has been a godsend. My “stock piles” enabled us to keep going for an entire year of unemployment. And can never thank you enough for all that you do!! Please know that your efforts are ALWAYS appreciated.
Kelly says
My friend introduced me to your site 2 1/2 years ago, so I guess I have been with you pretty much from the beginning. Once I learned how to change my shopping habits with coupons, I found that I was able to fit a car payment into my budget, and a more reliable bigger car is what was really needed! I then was able to stretch my money so much further for other things whether bills or fun stuff. I also loved sharing the info with others who were struggling and also sharing my “stockpile” of freebies with family that needed some help now and again. My “stockpile” has also helped me through some difficult financial spells when things were tough for me. Thank you Jolyn for all you do! You give 365 days a year to so many of us, I hope you receive a wonderful birthday today. Happy Birthday!!
Lisa says
Just wanted youto know that since I have started reading your blog I have began shopping at Meijer. Before couponing, it was just too expensive to go there compared to my other local grocery stores. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Louann says
May you have an awesome, blessed birthday Jolyn!!
I think I found your original site via MoneySavingMom. Since that day, I have gone to MSM less and less, and I am thankful to have found a local site that is as thorough as yours, because it saves me a lot of time. I used to look for mentioned coupons that Detroit didn’t get, and expect prices we didn’t have, so I waste much less time with your help. I have always shopped with coupons since I took over the “job” from mom and dad, but your site makes it much easier for me to get prepared, and there are things I would never know about without checking Bargains To Bounty. I am sure I’m missing more by not keeping up better with all the posts on your facebook wall, but I only have time to read the ones that end up in my Wall News Feed.
Donna says
Before Thanksgiving last year, I was standing in line at Lakeside Mall trying to get a $10 free coupon. The ladies next to me in line started talking about the deals they get using the Bargains to Bounty website, so I came home and looked up your website. Although I’m a senior citizen, I don’t buy in bulk anymore, but I enjoy using your website to make the most of the coupons I use. The mall had run out of coupons before we got to the front of the line, but the trip was worth it since I’m sure I have saved more than $10 using your website. Thanks and Happy Birthday!
Kristin says
I happened to see a savings photo on a friend’s FB wall. I asked how she did it and mention B2B. I joined and since then I have managed to save between 30-70% on my grocery bill. I am so pleased, especially since we just bought a new home over the summer. I have referred you onto a few of my friends and we all coupon now. Thanks so much for your time and helping all families save some money!!
Susan says
I don’t remember how I found you. I just know that I use your site more than any other. I have shared your sites more times than I can count, and look forward to your email! I recently lost my job, and trying to make ends meet has become nearly impossible! Thank you for all the hard work that you do, to make it a little easier for us! I truly appreciate you, and everything you do! Have a wonderful, and prospersous birthday!!
Marcy says
Happy Birthday Jolyn!
I discovered your website after an article in the Detroit News. I checked it out and read all of your instructions and thought “I can do this.” I’ve been couponing ever since. I walk out of the grocery store now with a smile (most of the time 🙂 because I finally feel like I’m spending what the groceries are actually worth! I can’t tell you how appreciative I am for all of your hard work and how much money I have saved for my family. I work full time and have twin toddlers, and you have made couponing do-able, even for me. Thank you!
madhuri says
Happy Birthday Jolyn!!!!!!
I found your site through Couponcrazychris. Thanks a lot for your matchups.
Ur matchups helped me a lot to save money.
Kim says
Happy Birthday
I am from Windsor Ontario Canada and started couponing about a year ago. I travel across the border every week to shop because the deals are not as good in Windsor but they are catching on because lately it is getting better. Now I have two binders one Canadian and one American LOL. One day we were at CVS and a women told us about you, telling us you were local and from Michigan and gave us your website which I am very thankful for, and all your hard work.
Thanks again and have a great day eh!
Brandi says
Just a quick note to say “Happy Birthday” and thank you for your hard work!
About three years ago, I signed up for MoneySavingMom emails through a meetup.com member and came across your blog in April of this year. Love it and I sometimes get better deals from your blog than other coupon savings websites that charge. So thank you for that and I hope you have a great year.
Amanda says
Have a wonderful birthday!
Another mom told me about the site, and it has forever changed how I do my grocery shopping. I’ve been able to save so much and really stock up on the things my family eats at a fraction of what I would have spent in the past- it has been wonderful! Thank you for all of your hard work on the site!

Happy Birthday!
My stories is simple. Two year old twins and husband out of a job. Life got really messy, really fast. My prayers were answered when I found your website thru a friend. Since then, husband has found work, and my life is still crazy, but I now know when dinner is coming from…. my stockpile, THANKS TO YOU and all the others who share with me every day I read B2B. It sounds a little crazy, but I love you for caring enough about me and everyone else who reads along with me, to do this day in and day out. Bless your soul. Thank you.
Robin Kampfer says
About 3 years ago, before the ‘extreme couponing takeoff’, I tried to get my family in the Rochester/Troy area to coupon. I live in North Florida and started a blog, that I though would interest them. What finally got my mom’s attention was an article that was in the Freep several months back that my mom mailed to me, to let me know about couponing. (sigh) It featured you and a few other blogs about coupons and such. I think she said something like…. is this what you have been doing? Anyway, I loved your site, and have used it for a reference for my followers in Michigan and soooo miss Ninos!. Thanks
Abby says
Happy Birthday! I have always couponed a bit, but never took it very seriously. I saw extreme couponing and thought it was a little crazy but realized I could be doing a lot more to save our family money and put us in a better financial solution. I googled “Detroit metro area coupon blog” and yours was the first that came up that day and I have been using it (and your facebook page) ever since. Your website allows me to coupon more and save more money without taking tons of time away from my 3 kids. Today I saved $87 and spent $65 at Meijer, before I used your site, I always spent over my allotted $125 a week, and now I am consistently way under, for that I have to say THANK YOU!
Katie says
Happy Birthday! I am a long time couponer and your site has taken the leg work out of it for me. Thanks for the time saver!!! Have a great day!!
Courtney says
A friend of mine told me about your website. I didn’t have the time to figure out all of the coupon match-ups, but you make that part easy now. : ) I save all of my coupon inserts now and read your blog each week to see what kind of deals I can get. I don’t need to coupon financially, but I love the excitement of a good deal and it does allow me to save money for other things. Happy Birthday!!!!!!
Ana For says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I attended a couponing call and was told about many other websites but was never told about this amazing site that I use every week. I was told about it by one of my members at the Credit Union…and have been using it since. Thank you for all the time you put on this site, you are amazing!!! Have a wonderful day and thanks again 🙂
mom of 3 says
all i have to say is thank you! seriously, without this website I wouln’t not be saving my family over $200 every 2 weeks in shopping. before my couponing i was literally spending $400 every two weeks, now i’m down to 200. maybe some save more but to feed a family of five i say that pretty good. and just to brag about good this site has helped me, if i wanted to I could go a month without doing any major shopping but since the coupons and the deals are good i shop every two weeks just to keep in stock. not being greedy but my family i went through 6months of ramen noodles and rice so i feel good having something more than ramen noodles and rice to eat.
thank you again.
Esther a homeschool momma in Mid-Michigan says
Happy Birthday Jolyn!
I found your website through a link from Money Saving Mom about two years ago when it was called Macomb Moneysavers. I was looking for a more local blog that did the match-ups to the grocery stores that are in my area. Kroger, Meijer and VG’s. Your blog helps me save a lot of time compiling my lists and pulling my coupons and I want to thank you for that!
Blessings,
Esther
Heather says
Happy Birthday!
I first found your site when I was looking for a good source for Meijer Deals. I wasn’t happy with the other site I was using (they didn’t update the deals at the same time every week & the way the deals were set up wasn’t user friendly).
Your site is great! You have deals up early & the way you have them laid out is super easy to read. Now if only my Meijer would double…
Thanks for the great site & have a great day!
Jami DeCatur says
Well since I am at the office and of course on the clock I will keep thi brief! (I”ll try) Thank you for blessing my family and community with what you do for us everyday! Words cannot descirbe how it feels to have the ability to give freely, and many times it is because you have pointed me in the right direction!! God has a plan!!!! It is my belief that He uses us to do His work. What an amazing way for Him to allow us to be generous! Without what I have learned from you there would not have been packages sent to Tornado victims, Flood victims, Pregnancy Centers, or even the one sent to a fb friend I have never met for her new baby! Christ has blessed you with a tremendous spirit of giving and teaching…. Christ has blessed all of us by sharing you with the world!
Sarah says
I’m not sure how I stumbled across your blog, but’s it’s probably been about two years I’ve been following your Meijer deals. I used to try to match things up myself and it took a lot of time and I didn’t do nearly as great a job as you do. I was so excited to find your blog! I have been saving so much more money so that we can put the extra money towards debt (we’ll be debt-free in December!). I’ve also been able to stockpile a lot more because of the great deals you’ve shared. Your blog has been such a blessing to our family and I hope you have a great birthday!
Kit says
Happy birthday!
A fellow shopper at a Clarkston CVS told me of this website about a month ago. Since then I’ve told many other fellow coupon binder totting shoppers. The data you have for the Kroger stores (and the doubling of $1 coupons) has allowed me to GREATLY increase the amount of things I can donate to a local charity called Neighbor for Neighbor. To say they have been thrilled with the recent increase in the bags of stuff I bring in is a huge understatement. Thank you. Your hard work and effort is making a difference.
Karen says
Happy birthday!
Your blog is the first I check for Meijer this week. I live in Columbus, OH and benefit from double coupons up to .99 so I am lucky! I started couponing about 4 months ago and can’t believe I didn’t start sooner. I have encouraged many others to read your blog and read the comments as those give you great ideas, too. I have 5 kids under 6 so I can just see where our grocery bill was headed. So glad I, with your help, know how to get more for less.
Thanks again and happy birthday!
Kristin says
Happy Birthday, Jolyn!!!
Thank-you SO much for what you do …freely and so willingly and SO well! My daughter kept telling me about her savings with coupons using your website. She finally showed me HOW she does it and showed me how she’s able to stock up at great prices for her constant stream of guests and her husband & daughter, both with big appetites (tho very trim and healthy). So, thought it’s just my husband & I at home, I decided to give it a try. My daughter was an excellent teacher and so patient with all my questions as I learned the ropes, as were people on this website – always willing to answer questions for newbies. It has saved me so much money. I used to spend $XX per week and had empty cupboards. Now I spend the same, but my cupboards are more than full. I’m able to make my menu based on the items I’ve bought and the fresh items on sale for the week. It has helped me get ahead and my husband always has something he can snack on (didn’t happened before). Thanks so much! This is a true gift and I don’t go a day without checking the website and/or the emails. What a great work you do in sharing your time this way and helping others save their hard-earned dollars. God bless you!
Kristin
Nancy says
Have a Great Birthday.
I joined you this year and I am constantly checking your site. There hardly is a day that goes by that I am not checking your site. I heard about you from my x son in laws wife. I only buy the items that are in red or green print. My husband lost his job and was not able to collect unemployment even though he had worked 13 years full time at a church. He found a job making $5.00 less an hr. working for a school as a custodian. Praise God!!! God has made it possible for us to pay all our bills. I am trying to by all necessities for as little as possible. There was very little we could cut back on since we already were doing without cable, cell phones etc. We did get rid of our second car and stoped paying support tor our adopted son in India.
Big thank you for all you do.
Angela says
Happy birthday, Jolyn!
I learned about you and your site in the Detroit Free Press article from early May. I wanted buy more for the needy barrel at church, but knew that I couldn’t fit it into our budget. After reading the article I realized that couponing could make it happen. In the first month I donated about $60 in food/household supplies/toiletries and only spent $12. That’s pretty much been the trend ever since! The added benefit is that I’ve also cut down on my own shopping expenses.
Just in case you’re keeping track, I follow the Target matchups weekly and occasionally use the Kroger posts.
Please keep up the great work you and your staff do — it’s appreciated by so many people!
Lynn says
I don’t remember how I found you….but I have been doing couponing regularly since around October 2009 and I’m sure I’ve been using your site since shortly after. I am also a big fan of hip2save and commonsensewith money so I may have linked to you via one of them. Or I may have found you through a search…
I used to coupon, when my kids were small (they are grown now) but not like I am able to do now. With your site, and the others I have used I really save money like I couldn’t back than on my own. Your site in particular has been invaluable for local store match ups. I regularly use the meijer and kroger lists.
Jenna says
Happy Birthday and THANK YOU for all you do, you are amazing!!
I found this blog about a year and a half ago, about a year into my coupon journey. I got into couponing as a hobby and to save a few dollars…I never imagined saving this much money!
Your blog is perfect for us who live in MI, I love the format and your Meijer deals are my favorite. I couldn’t get any good deals there without checking bargainstobounty first!!
Have a great birthday, you deserve it!!
Bev says
Happy Birthday and Many More…
I got your site from,believe it or not my Rite-aid manager,2 weeks or so ago, One of her guys at the register was so bad she had to do my order.I already matched at KCL
Local matches were a problem.Meijer Match-up is great.I go to Value Fresh(you have it -but not often) and save a bunch always(they are not fond of me)You are often taken for granted on the site by unaware users-the one’s that nit pick,shame on them.You provide a life changing service.
After a few years unemployed,we saw the TLC show and disreguarded it.I couponed when they were small and it was hard then.Then my youngest son told my hubby he saw that show and used a clipping service to get some coupons.Long story short ,I always shopped the sales and discount stores and didn’t think I was going to save any more.But, IF my son is saying he’s getting great deals,I thought I should check it out.
Already, I got the Free Gillette Bodywash and LA Look at Kroger,over and over and the minute-maid’s also.I am changed forever and will always use Q’s to save and get freebies.Now my house has food in it!!!!We were having trouble making ends meet .We have some grandbabies we send food to regularly to help my son and his wife.Thanks so much,to your site and sites like yours in general.Kroger match-ups are the Best Here!!!!
deb flickema says
Happy Birthday!!
I was introduced to your website about 1 1/2 years ago from a friend I worked with. I check this site faithfully and am very thankful for all the savings it has offered me. I believe just yesterday I saved over 70% off my VG’s bill. Love it!!! My husband and I have 4 children and he has recently lost his job, so finding weekly deals and freebies is extremely important to us. Thank you for your hard work and look forward to next weeks finds.
Michelle says
Happy Birthday!
I was introduced to B2B during the summer by my sister-in-law. I quickly learned just how much money I could save while using my coupons to their fullest. I have always been a coupon shopper, but it wasn’t until I started utilizing your website, that I realized just what I could do. I enjoy saving the most money and I couldn’t have done this without your help! Thank you!!!
Kim says
Happy Birthday!
I’ve only been using your site for about 6 months or so. A friend/coworker mentioned it to me. While I do not live in the Detroit area, the sales are usually similar. I have 2 sets of twins and saving that extra money really helps us! Thanks for taking the time to help others!!
Muriel Mabe says
Happy Birthday~
I am not sure how I found your website… I just stumbled across it a this summer, a few months ago. I am so glad I have. It is important for our family to make every dollar count. I appreciate all your hard work that goes into your website as it makes it easier for me to find and use coupons with the sale ads and get the most bang for the buck!
Hope your day is extra special!
Thank You!
Julia says
Happy Birthday and THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time, sweat, and brains. You are helping so many people and I love this site! I heard about you from my aunt who is a couponing expert
Marcia says
Happy Birthday!! You do a great job and help me save money as well as time. I found out about B2B at a neighborhood association meeting. The lady sitting next to me told me about B2B. That was almost two years ago. I’ve used your site every week since then and check it almost daily. I tell all my coupon friends about it!!
Judy W says
I found you 2 years ago (under the other name) when things got really tight and I wanted to be able to still stay at home with my teenagers, keep our cottage and work part time. I’ve followed you faithfully since. I’d say I have managed to shrink our grocery budget from what it was but I do wish I could shrink it even more. My problem is I have 3 teenagers and a husband that don’t stop eating! I also would never have gone into Aldi if it wasn’t for you. I now buy pretty much all my snacks, bread, milk and other items there. My bill for Aldi seems to be constantly growing. lol I’ve also changed my brands that I’m used to and have tried different items that are now staples that I never would have tried if it wasn’t for coupons. Thanks! ♫♪Hope your birthday is wonderful!♫♪
Sarah says
Happy Birthday!!
To be honest, I don’t recall how I found you. I do know that you have become an almost daily part of my life. I share your site, happily and eagerly, with everyone who will lend an ear! I have saved so much from your site! Thank you! I hope I have been paying it forward!! Not only groceries, but savings for my house and family!
jina says
My mom (who is in her 70’s) is an internet junkie! She turned me on to the site a year or so ago. I check out my daily emails to find some great deals. I now receive Readers Digest which was a link from your email and it was an awesome deal! I shop weekly at Meijer and I now I get the best deals due to your help. I could go on but it is your birthday! So get to the party and the CAKE! Enjoy! 🙂
Kathy says
I found this website in a story about couponing in the Detroit Free Press. Since then, I not only use it weekly to do all my shopping, but I tell all my friends who will listen. The site, tips and all your hard work, saves my family anywhere from 50-80% in food and household items. I really enjoy donating to charity and friends in need. I know that would not be possible with our tight budget if I didn’t use this site. It has become a way of life for us. THANK YOU!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Michelle says
Happy Birthday Jolyn!
I used to work in “Corprate America” up until I had my third daughter and lost my mother to Cancer three years ago. She was my babysitter and saving grace for whatever I needed. My third daughter was born 2 mos after my mothers passing and I just couldn’t bear to put my girls in daycare so I decided to stay at home. My husband is self employed so we lost our healthcare and money has become really tight. I, like some other mentioned watched EC and did a Google match to see just what I might be able to do to help our families budget. THANK GOD I found you. You have helped our family so much! I was able to purchase schoo lsupplies, school clothes at great prices and even already have a couple of Christmas presents tucked away thanks to the great deals you post. When B2B was down, I felt lost 🙂 Thanks so much for all you do!
Best regards,
Michelle
Cindy says
Happy Birthday!! I was shopping at Vg’s in Howell when I saw (3) different ladies with these crazy organized coupon books. I had only my little envelopes that said Krogers, Walgreens, etc. One of the ladies was next to me and I made a comment about how great her coupons were in her book and she said first thing – Oh I go to this website called bargains to bounty haven’t you ever heard of it? I said no and she said well it used to be called something else, but she changed the name. She explained all the great things your website does and I went home right away and was amazed at your website. I tell others about it as well now. This was about 1 1/2 – 2 years ago.
So I just want to thank you for all your hard work. I just took 20 bags full of donation items to my sons school. The social worker then gives the items to those in need. I am always giving to others more then ever thanks to you because I wouldn’t be able to afford it other wise. So hats off to you, you have helped so many people save money and give to others in need. God’s Blessing and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Marianne says
Happy Birthday!!
I was here when you first started I found your link (I think if I can remember back that far) on your siggy line on your A Full Cup posts. I use to help with matchups at HCW and I know how time consuming all the work is. I really appreciate all you do. My mom used q’s and I always have too but I did not really start saving much till everyone started posting matchups.
Anne says
Happy Birthday Jolyn! How funny that we were friends before this blog existed, yet didn’t find until months later! Several friends (complete strangers to you) encouraged me to check out “a great couponing blog” and there I found you again!
My favorite part of your site is learning what a “good price” is for something. It has helped me to know when to wait for a better price and when to stock up on the good ones. It has allowed my family to stay on my Dave Ramsey budget, and the best part….we still eat well, are able to entertain and have plenty to share with others. Thank you for keeping this blog going! It is as important as my Sunday paper! 🙂
Jennefer says
Happy Birthday!!
I don’t remember how I found your site. I think I may have stumbled upon it while searching for Meijer match-ups. While I don’t live in Michigan, I still find your site very helpful. I will say that this site has THE BEST match-ups for Meijer. My sales don’t always match yours 100%, but it gives me a good start.
This site has helped me stretch my dollars further by providing more comprehensive match-ups than the other sites that I go to. There are always a few things on here that no other site seems to have listed.
Basha says
Have a Wonderful, Happy Birthday.
This is my favorite site. This site has helped me so much . I would like to Thank you for all the time and effort that you put into this site. I truly,Sincerly appreciate it. I would be lost without you. I found your site back in February of this year. The Freepress ran a story about couponing and your site was there.Thank you for everything, and GOD Bless you.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!
Kris says
Happy Birthday! I found your site (before the name change) by following a link at Money Saving Mom. I quickly came to use your blog as my go to blog, I compare all other blogs to Bargains to Bounty. I’m not sure how you have done it, but you have really created a community here and on Facebook. I love to share the deals I find, and always check the comments below the match-ups and on Facebook. I really don’t see that on other blogs. I tell everyone about this site. You Rock!
Stephanie says
Happy Birthday!
I was referred to your site by a friend at church. Although many of the stores aren’t in my area (I’m in NW Ohio), your Meijer matchups are a huge blessing to me! Thanks so much for providing this service. I’m not as avid a couponer as I would like to be, but my Meijer trips are well worth it with your help!
Jennifer Howe says
Happy birthday! Hope it was a great one!
A friend told me about bargainstobounty. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks. I was not looking forward to couponing because of the time/effort involved, but when I started looking at your site, I found that it is not as complicated as I thought. You lay everything out so nicely and it is so easy to understand. Thanks so much, your website has turned me onto couponing. (My husband says I am going to become addicted because everytime I get on the computer, I check out bargainstobounty for any new information) 🙂 Thanks again!
Erin Jo says
I have always used coupons when I could get them for certain things like diapers, but I wasn’t couponing. I started this past Feb. doing it much more seriously. A coworker told me about this website and I love it. I have always shopped at meijers and it is so nice to have someone do all the matchup work for me 🙂 I used to feel helpless when I went to the store as to how much I had to spend to get the things I needed. I didn’t even go grocery shopping every week before because it was so expensive! Now I feel like I am in control of my shopping and spending. Thank-you for helping to make that change for me.
I also appreciate how you advocate for people to donate to various organizetions. Thank-you for the ideas and support. It feels so amazing to help others even when finances are tight for yourself. Thank-you for all of your hard work. May you have a blessed birthday!
tracy says
Happy Birthday
I started couponing after my father passed away and i’m unemployed. found your website from a Rite Aid manger on 14 mile and Ryan. I went to the store one day and they saw how much i save and they wanted to know how to save. I told them i will come back with the list of blogs i go to. The manger and i was talking he said how this customer told him about your website. He told me i was happy he told me about you.
laura says
I was told about this website by a lady in the grocery store. I commented how organized she was and she credited this website so I thought I would check it out. I read it daily and have been able to take advantage of so many offers! I now tell every person to add this website to their favorites!! Thank you and happy birthday!!!
Kelly says
A very Happy Birthday to you!!! I was refered to your website through a coupon class a few years ago. It was under the other name at the time, and I remember going through withdrawals (and concern for you!) when you had it down while switching names. I use your site mainly for Meijer and Kroger and you have saved us so much money. The layout of your coupon/sale match ups is so easy to read and follow. Thank you for all that you do!!!
Tiffany says
Happy Birthday!!!!! I just started couponing a few months back and after looking around on the internet for info on couponing I found a website…not this one…but one that had most of the stores around here…come to find out it wasn’t always right because it wasn’t this area…so after much more research I found you! I love it because it has all the stores around here plus so much more. Youre doing a great job! Keep up the great work…
cynthia says
Happy birthday and thank you so much for what you do! Not only have you helped me save lots of money but I am also able to bless lots of other people. I couldn’t have done this if not for this website. I can’t tell you enough how great that it is to make my list in such a short time span.
Stephanie says
Happy BIrthday. FOund it a few years back when I was trying to find local grocery match-ups. I believe I was on the Becentsable website or a similar one that had blog sites by state. YOurs was local, so I liked that & the matchups are great.
Thank you for all you do
Melinda says
Happy Birthday- Jolyn!!
I found your site about 5 months ago and have been addicted ever since! I always have been a couponer I guess, but you made me way better at it. I am a teacher and it is getting very hard for us to get by these days with all the teacher-hating attitudes. You have helped my family and given me more confidence that we will get by regardless. I often say to my husband; I hope Jolyn is reaping much financial benefit from running her site because it is well deserved!!! Thank you so much for all you do. You are a smart and generous lady with a lot of love!
Renee says
A friend had a status on facebook about how she had saved 200 of her 450 bill with the use of coupons. As a family of seven my husband and I were intrigued. We don’t make a ton of money and could use all the help we can get. We asked a ton of questions of her and she suggested your site. We don’t always save a ton but every penny helps.
Hope you have the happiest of birthdays. Thank you for your site.
Tammy says
I heard about your site from my sister who is a coupon queen. I was at a time when I really wasn’t saving money even though I was using coupons and I needed to be on a stricter budget. Your site has been just awesome! It has helped me so much with saving money and I really appreciate all your hard work! I don’t know how you have the time, but you save me a lot of time! Thanks!
Tammy G says
Happy Birthday and may you be blessed with many more.
I started couponing when I was very young. I used to cut them out for my dad and then him and I went shopping together. I used to spend more time matching, but about 18 months ago one of your other wonderful readers told me about your sight. What a time saver for me. I in return have told many about your sight and have taught quite a few how to coupon.
Thank you for all your hard work. Because of you I know people who have been able to make it through these trying times and many of us have been able to donate even more.
Lindsy says
I found your site through a friend. We are having a very hard time financially, and I am a stay-at-home mom, so that makes things even tougher. I am a loyal B2B fan, and tell everyone about your site and what you do. I have been able to reduce my grocery budget by $40 a week, and I also get to buy a little more when I can stack a coupons with sales. I don’t do as well as most people on here seem to, but maybe we buy different things. All I know for sure is you provide an amazing service and a warm, welcoming community for people to come to. I’m sure when you started doing this you didn’t imagine it turning into all it has, but I’m glad it did. I am on the site and the fb page multiple times a day to see what’s going on or if there is a question I can answer for someone. You are a great woman and I thank you for all you do. <3
(hug) Happy Birthday!
Sarah says
Thank you so much for your awesome site. I saved $185 on my trip today thanks to BtB.We are eating healthier for the same $ thanks to you.
Melissa D. says
Happy Birthday!!!!!
I was recommended your website by a few ladies at my church who had a coupon class. It’s by far my go-to site for Metro Detroit deals. I appreciate all your efforts and work. I also appreciate you responding to my questions when I’ve emailed.
Since I started my coupon cutting journey in May of 2010 our family has saved about 20% from our monthly expenses on groceries and toiletries.
Julie says
Happy Birthday!!!
I love your site! I found it years ago…under a search? or linked from another site? not sure but it was MMS back then…I tell everyone that asks to go to your site…
I love that you are soooo organized! I love the red and green on the prices…I have searched many websites over the years and yours is extremely organized and well-thought out…I try to print from your site so that you will get a kickback…I hope that you are getting paid for ALL the hours of time that you put in…thank you and I wish you much success…
PS We have nut allergies at our house too…so keep the deals coming about nut-alternatives…love those!
Shelley says
Wishing you a happy belated birthday Joslyn !! I hope your day was super special and you were able to kick back for a bit. You so deserve it for all that you do for others. I have been couponing for approximately 3 years now and I still continue to love it !! I can never see myself paying full price for anything (again)!! I can not imagaine what our grocery bill would be now with 4 teenagers and with being a larger family. I am a fairly extreme couponer, but I do take pride in keeping an organized and manageable stock pile. I enjoy being able to share my deals with friends and to be able to donate regularly to a local food bank. It is so fun to see the excitement within your own kids and within their friends wondering what is new for treats this week. One thing we know as couponers, very seldom is it ever the same stuff, but we always have a lot of food in our cupboards to pick from. I have enjoyed being able to teach new couponers the ropes too. Keep up the great work and I will continue to recommend your site !!
