You guys are so great about sending in deals–that is probably one of my favorite things about running this site. I just love that you guys participate 🙂 Well I have found that so many of the deals get lost…once a deal is off the front page it can be time consuming to go back to find it. So I figure if I don’t like this –I am betting that some of you are having issues as well.
In an attempt to organize all the ongoing deals I have decided to change the Dollar Deals page to the Ongoing Deals page. The format will be the same but the page will now include all the best current deals that I have found or that have been reported. Whenever a new deal is posted on the front page of the site –I will also put it on the ongoing deals page with an indication of the deal expiration. Once a week the deals will be cleaned out to keep it as tidy as possible.
Now, I need some feedback from you guys. I am planning on putting some of the best ongoing deals in the Super Deals post that I publish each Tuesday with a link reminding you guys to check the Ongoing Deals section for any other great deals. Would you guys like to see the Super Deals INCLUDED in the Ongoing Deals section or do you want me to keep those separate?? Since Publix ads overlap on Wednesday I was not sure if this would confuse you guys.
I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Funny that you posted this at this time….as I am furiously searching for the blog about the dixie plates coupon so I can print it. Great idea!
$.50/1 package of Dixie® or Dixie Ultra® paper plates is on RedPlum & in 05-23-10 RP 🙂
I try to edit the deals post with any additional coupon finds –so it is up to date
i think keep the super deals seperate since you already have a link on the ads page.
I like your idea of having all the super deals, including on-going deals on the super deals page…I find that if I don’t seek out the adv flyer pages and the dollar deals along with the regular ad, I miss out on some awesome deals. Thanks again for all you do!
I’d say leave them separate also….I get ‘cornfused’ very easily!! Ü
I would like to see the super deals still seperate, but love the idea of the ongoing deal page. thanks for all you time and effort, Michelle.
separate
Keep the super deals separate.
Yep, separate. I like the idea of the ongoing deals page!
I would like to see them separate.
Great idea.
I vote separate.It might get confusing for the newbies.Ok me too.!
I like it included-if its a super deal…its a super deal, no matter where or why! LOL! 🙂
I like the super deals separate. That could get confusing keeping track of when deals are valid. Plus, there’s already an easy link to them on the Weekly Ad page.
My vote is to keep them separate!
I would like the super deals to be separate. Some of the deals that are sent to you are store specific and it would be confusing and/or irritating to expect a deal and then not find it. I do love the idea of the dollar deals being changed to ongoing deals.
I want to know if you can write the exp date on the front of the coupon alittle bigger as long as it does not interfere with the bar code?
i dont write it bigger, but i circle them with a bold tip marker so theyre easy to find. as long as they dont cover up the original print of the expiration date, and they dont make a parallel line through the barcode lines. 🙂
I like them separate. Maybe just post at the top of the super deals post each week to remind everyone to also check the ongoing deals before you shop. I have found it to be a lot to keep up with by the time I check the regular ad, then the advantage flyers, then searching for any other deals that have been posted lately that I wanted to add to my list. Perhaps a post each Tuesday with links to the weekly ad, super deals, advantage flyers, and ongoing deals would help.
Seperate…I like things in little organized compartments where I can find them…if only I could get my house that way. While we are making change requests- is there anyway to make your banner across the front a link to the home page? It is good web design to do that, plus it helps to quickly get back home. (there’s no place like home…there’s no place like home…)
Seperate please.
You site is searchable, so the location of the deal within the site is not that important. I follow your blog with Google Reader. So if I need to go back a few days and find something, I just search within your feed. However, a site search is just as effective. If a reader is looking for a progresso rebate, they can google –
progresso rebate site:old.iheartpublix.com
first of all, thank you so much for your site!!! i am so grateful! it is funny you mention this as i was searching just yesterday and thought you might have a ‘deals from my inbox’ tab…as i was also furiously searching for an older post to add to my shopping list this week…a question too, do you add these deals from your inbox to the weekly ad? it seems like do most of the time and how in the world do you keep up with all of this?!?!
thank you so much….
i would agree to keep them separate also…
What might help with the interaction amongst your readers and finding and keeping great deals might be an old fashion message board. Where we can talk about this weeks great deals by subject. Like hienz ketchup deal
Separate!
I always google search when I’m looking for something. So having an ongoing deals page will make it SOOOO much easier. That’s how I feel about the Rebates page. Love having it all in one place.
I like the idea of having them posted together with a link to the updated page.
Thanks for all that you do to save us money!
can you do something like this on your I heart savings.com
Love the idea. I would suggest to keep them separate. Thanks for everything you do!!
I vote for separate as well, w Super Deals just Publix related.
If it is possible it would be nice if there was a way to confine your Google search button to just the last 3mo, or 6mo, or YTD. When ever I search for something it is often difficult, as not all results have dates, none have years, and you have quite an archive. Not saying to not have the archive available, but maybe have a separate expanded search for those who need it. Most time looking for recent deal.
I like the idea of combining all deals together. Just sounds like it will be easier for you to update everything in one place and as someone else said, a deal is a deal – i want to see them all.
Separate please!
Definitely separate the “Super Deals!” That’s the main page I use when making my list each week. 🙂 In fact, I think it might need it’s own button at the top of the page. 🙂 You’re saving me so much money that I pretty much don’t buy it if it’s not a “Super Deal!” Haha! Not a bad idea at all to change “Dollar Deals” to “Ongoing Deals.” Good thinking! You have THE BEST blog out there, by the way. Seriously. My family is sooOOOOooo grateful for all your hard work!
I’d love to see a “deals from your inbox” link. Those are among my favorite deals on your site. They also help me to keep an eye out for in store coupons or deals that I missed.
Thanks for your hard work!
I vote separate 🙂
Michelle – I have to agree with everyone else…summary = you rock, you save us a ton of money, and we’d love a separate page for ongoing deals! Thanks again for all your hard work!!!! 🙂
Would LOVE to see them separate! The idea to have all running deals together is fabulous!! Thanks again for all you do!
I think you should leave them separate
My vote is separate.
It was VERY helpful to me to have them ALL together in that same post! But as far as the tab at the top, separate tabs would be helpful for referencing later! 🙂
My vote is for separate, Michelle. I don’t know how you manage it all! But THANK YOU!
I vote both….Put them on there in a different font or bold…and have a separate link…. oh and while you are at it can you make it so I can eat ice cream and not get fat? I like to have the best of both worlds 🙂 Thanks for all you do….you are AWESOME.
i agree, you should definitely come up with a way so we can eat boat loads of ice cream and not get fat! 🙂
I like them sepreate with the link to remind me to go to the ongoing deals page(love that idea). I get corn fused easily, 3 kids will do that to you.:) Thank you for everything you do!
I like the super deals and I like having a place other than the front page for the on going deals. I try to stop by evey day and print coupons as I see them but you know how it goes. often I have to go back to much older posts to find something!
I also want to thank you for having this site, I now average a savings rate of about 60%! Yippee! We feel so blessed to have so much food, and variety. Before couponing we were always buying the same cheap stuff week after week because it was basically all we could afford. THANKS for your help!!
Keep them seperate!!
I vote for separate. I like the ongoing deals page though and the reminder in the super deals. I sometimes forget to check the other pages from week to week.
i would like to see them all together. its easiest for me to have one destination to go to for everything great! and if i dont remember if it was a super deal or an ongoing deal or a deal from your inbox…then i have to search two places. being a single mom of a 3-month-old, my best friend is the CTRL+F [“find”] short-cut. im sure you can sympthatize being a WAHM of two rough-and-tough rambunctious boys! so, i think, one page to search is fastest. plus, it seems easier for you to just stick it all on one page and you have those few precious seconds for your family…or a deep breath before cleaning up that juice on the kitchen floor! lol. 🙂 thanks for everything you do and really caring about your readers and asking our input!!!
separate~
Michelle, I love that idea, as I do find myself searching back to look for deals.
I’d prefer they be kept seperate so I don’t get them mixed up. Thanks.:)
Michelle, this is a fabulous idea.
Oh, please keep them seperate. It’s the easiest way for me to keep things straight. Thanks for doing such a fantastic job!
You need a search feature on your website that searches only your website – not the web. This simplifies finding anything.
separate
I vote for the SuperDeal to be kept seperated. Michelle, thank you so much for all the hard work. You are doing a great job. You site has helped me change the way I shop.
