Valerie has been a long time deal poster in our Price Chopper forum and also posts her finds in Shaws when she has them.
Because this site is "all about the deals", to have a member who has always made it a point to post the deals in one of our store forums for years is no small thing. This forum has been unmodded for a long time, and the mod team really appreciates the effort she puts in to get some deals into the Price Chopper forum for fellow members. In fact, when I "spoke" with her via pm, she was distressed by the lack of good PC deals right now to post about!
Even if you are not a PC shopper, if you appreciate those that post the deals, give her a shout out!
Heres a little more about her.
