I am a stay at home mom with three wonderful kids. I have been married for over 8 years to my best friend. I am head over heals in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together.
I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet.
I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy. .gif)

Here is a new FREE Ebook Maximize Your Mornings. The website says it contains the following info:
Thanks AllAboardDeals Before sale price, coupon or catalina this would have cost $78.45 I was able to get it all for $18.05 Plus I still have a $10.00 catlaina from the Chill promo
12- Chimichangas FREE click here for details 8- Pizzas $1.49 each click here for details 3- bags of Sun Chips $1.19 each click here for details I made this a very quick trip, I know there are lots of great deals this week with doubles but I felt it was more important I come home and rest. Some of you have asked if I did any shopping last week, being that I did not post any photos. I was on bed rest so I took the whole week off. So no, I did not do any shopping. BUT I did send Matt out for 2 gallons of milk, eggs, bread, apples and oranges. He picked them all up at Costco, we just got back our yearly refund for using their gas card….so we got them all FREE.
We all are disappointed when we go to get a Thrifty Deal only to find the item out of stock. Here is what I suggest you do first. Ask to see if they have more, some times they will have another display, or more in the back. If they are out of the item, ask when the next shipment comes in. Try to come back before the sale ends, or get a rain check for the sale price. What is a rain check? An assurance to a customer that an item on sale that is sold out or out of stock may be purchased later at the sale price. If the item is part of a Catalina promo getting a rain check may not work. They can not write you a rain check for the catalina only the sale price. Some catalina run longer than the ad price so it is still worth getting a rain check, and you will just need to pay attention to the end date of the catalina. If the item is not part of the weekly ad, but on sale you can still get a rain check. The photo above shows the tag for No Yolk Noodles, normal price $1.99. These were not in the ad but on sale for $1.29. If you look at the bottom of the tag you can see the sale price is only good till 3/16. Being the sale is almost over I got a rain check. I hope to find this time back in stock next time there are double coupons…and use it with the .75 cent off coupon to get them free. Many times these tag sales will last a few weeks…so it is important to look at the end date. To get a rain check you will need to ask Customer Service or some cashiers are able to write them. Please note that every store does rain checks a little different, it is important to ask your store questions you may have. But Rain Checks are a great way to get a Thrifty Deal. Albertsons Rain checks expire 30 days from the date written, while Walgreens do not expire. I know Albertsons and Walgreens give out rain checks….what stores in your area use them?

I was excited, because I know that means my body is starting the process of getting ready to have my little boy . This is Baby number 4 so I also know that I will have several days/ hours of these before it is for real. It was 4 long hours …. totally wore me out ! Today I saw my OB Doctor, I have good news my Blood Pressure is down, baby is head down ( at least today), contractions must have been working cause I am at a 2 ( need to be at a 10 to have the baby). SO it looks like my week of rest did me and the baby good. I am still suppose to take it easy, or I will end up right back were I started. But I did make a quick trip to Albertsons to pick up a few things…it was nice get out of the house for a minute. I was happy to find a few of my coupon friends at the store, and gave away all my double coupons being that I knew I was not going to use them. But then I had to come home and take a nap….lol. I am loving all the baby name ideas, and think Matts current giveaway for guessing my due date is fun too! I should have at least 20 coupon inserts for the winner.

My quick trip to Albertsons….I don’t normally buy frozen Pizza but with Matt in charge or dinner the next few weeks he was excited to see them.
This is a coupon you may want to look for at your local Albertsons. On an end cap display of Sun Chips my local store had coupons for $1.00 off 1 bag of Sun Chips, it can be doubled….so only $1.19 a bag ( after coupon and double). Great price for Sun Chips!
