Savvy with Abbie

**Update: Congratulations to the winner - Ashley Sammons! **Update: I am extending out this contest through December 6th, 2019. Winner will be drawn and announced on December 7th, 2019. I have been slacking hardcore with this blog but I promised once I hit 100,000 followers, I will be running a giveaway. When I started this blog in 2014, I had no idea that it would be a huge hit. My blog initially was about my life, my "love" life, or lack of love life, poems, the single life, and I really created it as a way to vent. Little did I know that 4 years later, I would create my first Recipe blog post ( HERE ) and have 64,599 views on one post! That's really when my blog took off. Of course, I still throw in a review, a personal blog, or a freebie post now and then but it's mainly been recipes the past year. I do want to say Thank you! Thank you for caring so much about my life (although I don't find my life THAT interesting), thank you for reading my recipes

The past month or two I have been sharing and posting about Penny Shopping at Dollar General. Some of you may be asking, "What the heck is penny shopping?" Well, it's literally buying items that are a penny. Before I started shopping at Dollar General, I thought it was like Dollar Tree or the 99 Cent Store where almost everything is a dollar. If that was the case, I don't think I would be putting in as much effort to find pennies! But the truth is, Dollar General is still a discounted store with extremely good deals but most items are not a dollar. They have everything from clothes to accessories, home goods, food, toys for kids, birthday gifts and party items, swim items, and I personally think the items are good quality. I started hearing about Penny Shopping through the Dollar General Penny Shopping Facebook group and was intrigued by this. Does this really work? How does it work? How long does it take to find items? I was in for a real treat the first few times
