Something Really, Really BIG

If you've surfed around the frugal side of the internet very long, you know of the Dollar Stretcher site. When I was a Guide for About, Dollar Stretcher was considered my "competition."

Now, I don't think there's much real competition among the frugal community, but that's a discussion for another day.

So... if it really was my competition, I'm a traitor.

But I'm not, because all that time, I found inspiration there as well as common sense articles from Gary Foreman and many, many frugalistas around the internet. I don't know how many times I found awesome sites through there that were buried in search engine results.

After saying all of that, this is not about lauding Dollar Stretcher, although I'd gladly do that, but it's about me.

Yep. I'm going there to do something. Something BIG.. ;)

Really.

Can't tell you yet, but watch this space. Or, as they say on TV (do they still say it?) Stay tuned.

  1. Oh Pat, I love the DollarStretcher site and I'm so excited for you. I can't wait until you make the "BIG" announcement of what's in store for us. I wish I could figure out how to post here withou it being anonymous, but when I put in my e-mail address it says I'm already register, eventho I can't remember when I would have done it. I didn't even know anything about Blogs until Michelle and Donna at FL started theirs. Don't guess it matters anyway as long as I can tell you how much I enjoy your articles. :)littlemiss63.

  2. Thank you both! This is going to be cool.

    Littlemiss, are you a member of Google? Blogger belongs to Google and they became a little more integrated recently. If you have a Google account, your password should work here, I think.

  5. Hi, Pat! I have forgotten to check your blog and checked in today to find your announcement of something big. I cannot wait. I was a big fan of yours at FL and the site just isn't the same without you. I will be sure and check in on your site more often. I don't want to miss a thing.

  7. Pat, I can't wait, either! I'm not at about.com anymore for personal reasons, but I really miss some of the great ladies over there. It will be so cool to read more of your writing at the Dollar Stretcher, another favorite site of mine. I'll keep checking ....Blessings, goodmom77

  10. I am so glad you didn't go undercover after the incident at About. I always read your news letter and have missed them every week. As far as I am concerned it's About's loss. Can't wait to see what happens next with your big announcement.

    A Big Fan!
