Surprise…. a new name for my blog!

Surprise! Remember a few months ago I had hinted about some exciting changes for my blog? Well, it sure took long enough, but the surprise is, it’s a new name and domain! Frugal Friends in Northern Virginia is now Beltway Bargain Mom. I wanted something shorter and more concise to what this blog is about. I’m just a regular mom here in the DC area who loves to share deals. My hope is that BeltwayBargainMom.com will help keep you “in the loop” whether or not you’re inside or outside the Beltway :)

I’ll be updating, tweaking and adding features gradually to this site. I’ve been slow as molasses in getting my Frugal Friends blog transferred, so I’m hoping the gradual updates and features will happen a little more quickly (ahem).

You’ll also notice, I now have a Facebook fan page (finally!) and I’ll be hosting a slew of giveaways starting next week.

If you’re visiting from MoneywiseMoms.com: Welcome! I’ll have the Safeway highlights posted by later this afternoon. While she’s out-of-town I offered to post and share this week’s Safeway deals for her.
