New To Frugal Lancaster: Welcome Angie!

I’m excited to announce that my friend Angie, will now be helping me with posts on Frugal Lancaster!

Angie lives on the western side of the county and loves finding deals at CVS, Target, Stauffer’s and anywhere else she can. She recently was able to donate 7 mens deodorants, 75 childrens’ toothbrushes and 9 big boxes of cereal to Water Street Rescue Mission.

Our dream for this year is to help readers find as many deals as possible and then donate as much as we can to local places in need—possibly even hosting a first-ever Frugal Lancaster reader meet-up donation day! (By the way, if you are interested in that, please share your enthusiasm in the comments to keep us motivated.)
