About Us 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.

California do you want double coupons???

Rachel from Frugal Mommy has asked me to help get the word out about getting doubles in all areas.

I recently emailed Albertsons asking them why it seems Albertsons in the Southern California never puts out “Doublers” as they seem to do almost monthly in places like Idaho I was bothered, because in this economy we ALL are suffering, and living in Southern California where the cost of living is pretty high, I would really LOVE to get in on some of the deals that A Thrifty Mom gets!!
I’m sure YOU would too!!

I found out why Albertsons in So Cal doesn’t double… “no demand.”
Huh??
(I disagree with that statement)
It has to do with the fact that, although Albertsons are all owned by the same company (save for Northern Ca.) each Division is run as if it were a separate company.
The only way to get Double Coupons in So Cal and Nev. would be for customers toCALL and/or EMAIL/WRITE Corporate anddemand (request may be a nicer word…)
that they bring the Doublers to Southern California/Nevada
(since we are definitely hurting from this economy slump…)
The flip side would be if they WERE to print the Doublers,people would actually HAVE TO USE THEM!
Or Albertsons in So Cal/Nevada will again stop printing them.
I was wondering if you would be willing to help me get the word out?
If we can get enough people requesting them for the Southern California/Nevada Region Albertsons WILL LISTEN!
I spoke with the woman in charge of the So Cal/Nev region personally, and this was her suggestion.
To get the word out to as many people as possible, and have them either write in, email in, or call in requesting Double Coupon Deals!!
She also assured me that she would “look into” the matter, especially now that the economy has changed for the worst recently… Any help would be great!!

    Maria, they are doubling at K-Mart in Temecula until tomorrow. They have done it pretty often out here. Next time they are doubling check that store. It’s not too far from you.

    I completely agree, and will take the time to contact Albertson’s as soon as I finish this comment. I am an avid Albertson’s shopper in the inland empire of southern California and would gladly welcome these coupons.
