Happy New Year 2020! A Look Back at Top Posts of the Year AND Top Posts of the Decade!

Happy New Year!

Happy  New Year to my wonderful blog readers!  I hope you had fun last night – whether your idea of fun was staying up all night or going to be early, I hope you got to celebrate how you wanted.

Thank you for being a reader of this blog.  Without you, I would have no reason to have this blog.  So thanks! 

Everyone is picking a word for 2020.   If I had to pick a word for the upcoming year, I would pick ACHIEVE.  There are several things I want to achieve this year.

In June 2019, my blog turned TEN years old.   So as we are closing a decade collectively, I’m closing a decade of blogging and growing my own business!

Yes, that’s right, I’ve been doing this blogging thing for over TEN years now.   That’s quite an accomplishment!  Of all the bloggers I knew 5-6 years ago, only about half (maybe even less than half) are still blogging.  

It’s fun to look back at posts from years past.  I thought I’d take the time to post my most popular posts from 2019 AND over the whole decade!

Top posts selected from posts that are still relevant.  Expired deals excluded.

Couponing itself has changed a lot over the past decade.  I wrote a post on how couponing is changing – and it even needs updating since I wrote it a couple years ago.
