Over the winter break of 2009, I thought about starting my own blog to share some of the great deals I found at the grocery and drug stores, as well as some of my flops. Hence the name of the blog - it would be a both a place to show off a shopping performance, and also to poke a bit of fun at myself.  Here's my first post!

But has Frugal Follies been "a costly and foolish undertaking"?  I don't think so.  Over the past two years, the mission of this blog has gone beyond just describing my shopping trips and money-saving actions, to sharing coupons, deals, and freebies with you, as well as reviews and giveaways.  I've learned a lot just by writing these blog entries, and I hope you've learned a lot as well!

So to all my readers, commenters, and followers, thank you so very, very much! And here's to many more years of coupons, deals, freebies, and fun!

To celebrate, I'll be holding a special giveaway starting tomorrow to thank all of you!
