Poll Results

Thanks so much to everyone who filled out my poll!
If you haven’t taken it yet, and have a minute to spare, please fill out the 4-question poll here.

You can view the results on the poll questions in my original post, but here’s a recap of what you’ve said so far…

1. Where do you do most of your grocery shopping? (I was curious where you savvy shoppers do most of your grocery shopping. Thanks for letting me know!)

Harris Teeter – 17%
Giant/Martins – 17%
Safeway – 16%
Shoppers – 11%
Wegmans – 11%
Target – 7%
Walmart – 6%
Bottom Dollar – 3%
Aldi – 2%
Other: Bloom – 2%
Other: Costco – 2% (I can’t believe I left this off the poll as one of the main choices…sorry about that Costco!)
Other: Magruders – 1%
Other: Weis – 1%
Other: IGA – 1%
Other: ShopRite – 1%
Other: Privately owned grocery store – 1%
Other: Everywhere – 1% (good answer! I shop around quite a bit too, especially to take advantage of great coupons/sales!)

2. Do you use coupons on a regular basis?

Yes, regularly – 88%
Sometimes – 4%
No, not at all – 2% (is this one of my friends or relatives who answered this? :)
Only for special coupon promotions like “Triples” and “Super Doubles” ie $1+ – 0% (okay… not sure why I put this as a choice… if you’re using coupons for special promotions, you should be using them at other times. If you have coupons, why not use them all the time?)

What type of deals are you interested in me reporting on my blog? (I really appreciate your input!)

Grocery Store Deals – 38%
Drug Store Deals –  26%
Restaurant Deals – 14%
Department Store Deals – 12%
Online Deals – 9%
Other: Any great deals in the No. Va. area – 1%

Where do you live? (since I’ve named my blog “Frugal Friends in Northern Virginia” I was curious if most of my readers actually live in Northern VA…)

Northern Virginia – 74%
Maryland – 14%
Other parts of Virginia (not in Northern VA) – 4%
Other: Connecticut – 2%
Washington, DC – 0% (come on, I know there are some savvy shoppers in DC… are you just not connected with the local frugal blogs and coupon forums?)

Thanks again for taking the time to fill out my poll!
I’ll be doing a post later this afternoon/early evening with this week’s new Aldi deals (for the small percentage of those of you who shop there regularly like me). Happy Monday everyone!
