About Us 
I am a stay at home mom with four wonderful kids. I have been married for over 10 years to my best friend. I am head over heels 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.

WALGREENS TIPS
- Some store have placed limits on coupon deals to read more click here
- To view Walgreens official coupon policy click here
- Can I use a coupon and still have a Register Reward print, click here.
- I always check out at the cosmetics counter, and if anyone comes behind me I let them go first, so I do not hold up the line.
- One thing to remember about Walgreens RR (register reward) is you can not use a “chap stick RR” to pay for another chap stick and have another RR print. BUT you can use a “toothpaste” RR to pay for chap stick and have another RR print.
- Also remember that Walgreens has a coupon item ratio rule, you can only use as many coupons as you have items. They count RR as coupons. So if I was only buying 4 items ( all of which had manufacture coupons which meant my item coupon ratio was already 4 to 4) I wanted to pay with a RR I would need to ad a filler item something cheap like a pencil. This would then make my coupon ration 5 ( 4 manufacturer coupons and 1 register reward) and my item ratio 5. I then could pay with my coupons and RR with no problem. An instore coupon does NOT count as a coupon in this ratio….just as a sale price.
- Also remember that only one RR per product will print per transaction. For example If wanted to buy 3 bottles of Aussie shampoo. In order to have 2 RR print for each one I had to buy them in 3 transactions. My store is happy to let me go thru the line more than once ……but some store will limit you.
- You can not pay for sales tax with a RR

Chicken Pasta Salad:
1 Lb. Boneless, Skinless chicken breast (cooked and cubed)
1Lb. Tri-Color pasta (Cooked and drained)
1 Green pepper (cleaned and diced)
1 Tomato (diced)
1 Head broccoli (use only tops)
1 Bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Salad Dressing
Mix all ingredients except for salad dressing together in a large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Mix in full bottle of salad dressing just before serving. You will need extra salad dressing if you have leftovers because the salad dressing loses its flavor by the next day.
 One of my frugal friends recommended the site Learn Vest, they send out a daily email with money tips, crafts, decorating ideas… frugal living. I have to say I really enjoy their articles and find them useful… best part they are not spammy or filled with ads.
This week they wrote a great guide to the cost of fitness, time commitment and how much will power it takes to stay commented. I found it very useful and thought you may enjoy it as well. But I can not cut and paste the list so If you want to take a peek at it you will need to head over to Learn Vest. Their site is free to join, but does require an email (you can always use your coupon email, if you want to keep you inbox clear..but I rather enjoy their updates) In the search bar, in the top right type in: Get in Shape! Find the Best Workouts for You and Your Budget
Often, the pricier choices—like exercise classes or hiring a personal trainer—require less willpower because there’s a minimum time commitment and an instructor to goad you into first, showing up, and then, working out your hardest. Of course, if you have the self-control to keep yourself on track, you can probably make do with one of the lower-cost variations.
Right now, the Prepared Pantry is offering 4 ounces (about one cup) of free Korintje Cassia Cinnamon. Just pay shipping of $2.99. This is excellent quality cinnamon and usually sells for $6.49, plus shipping. It can transforms baking with its rich and complex taste. It is cheaper than even the grocery store even though the quality is better.
