Congratulations to Tammy for winning the $15 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!  Here's Tammy's (very sweet!) comment :

I would like to see you have a “Wordless Wednesday.” I have noticed that many woman on other blogs set aside Wednesday so that they have a chance to take a break from it all, watch their little babies dance and giggle, and do the things that need to be done for themselves. Life is TOO short, and I promise that all the people who follow your blog will be here Thursday morning :O) (Just sayin’)

I love this idea, however because of my weekly schedule I really do take much of the day off on Thursday by scheduling posts in advance (unless I just have to do a quick roundup!); I also enjoy Sundays completely away from the computer!  I really do live in fear that if I take a day off you all won't come back the next day, so I appreciated Tammy pointing out that maybe a few of you would come on back if I miss a day. 🙂

Thank you all so much  for all your great tips on how to make PPP better and your honesty.  Here are just a few comments on those (don't worry, I'm not planning to make any major changes . . . just wanted a little feedback!)

1. More Recipes:  I would love to do more recipes but in all honesty they're the most time-consuming part of the site, and I have enough meals to test them on our family (which is often difficult on nights that my kids have basketball, baseball, gymnastics, piano & Lego Robotics . . . ughhhhhh!)  I'll keep putting up as many recipes as time allows though!
2. More Healthy Recipes: I loved this idea too – and am going to work on that one this week (we'll see how it goes!)
3. More Store Matchups:  I'm thinking about borrowing store matchups from other sites and then sending you their way for the complete list.  I may even do just a master matchup list once a week directing you to other sites for stores I don't do; I feel like it's unfair for me to do matchups on stores I can't get to on my own to really give you the nitty-gritty deals that they offer!
4. Focus only on Publix & Kroger:  These really are the stores I shop at, so I know them better than anywhere else.  However, they're limited to a very small portion of the country (limiting folks in other areas from joining us on PPP!)  I don't plan on taking on in-depth matchups for other stores, but would like to offer something to folks in other areas.  (I've received so many emails from people in different parts of the country and I hate not being able to help them out too!)
5. Five Minute Challenges:  I'm so glad you all enjoy these (I like them too!), and as long as I have enough time in my day to post them daily, they're here to stay!  I've struggled with keeping these because I know they're not really a deal, but loved hearing you all liked them too 🙂
6. More Random Ramblings/Frugal Living Posts:  My goal is to post at least one of these weekly on Thursdays (which allows me to take a little time off on Thursday's too!)  Thanks for letting me know you all enjoy these!
7. Mobile Version:  My computer guy is working on this now.  I'm so glad it was mentioned because since I don't have a fancy phone I never even thought about it!
8. Ability to reply to specific comments:  FIXED! 🙂

I just appreciate you all taking the time to read PPP so much, and if you do have any other suggestions feel free to leave a comment or send me an email at contact @ passionate penny pincher.com (leave out spaces).  Congratulations Tammy!
