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.

Thanks to Melissa for these double ideas,

I was at my Albertsons and got a 64fl.oz bottle of snuggle fabric softener for 1.00. It was on sale for 2.99 and I had a print off coupon that I doubled.

Also, the cottonelle T.P. is on sale for 5.99 at Albertsons. With the 1.00 off coupon and a double I got 24 rolls for 4.00. I believe it comes out to be about .18 cents a roll.

To view this weeks Albertsons match ups click here, prices good till Tuesday night.

For $13.50, subscribers will receive 6 Sunday papers and a daily paper on Monday through Saturday. Read more here. Or to sign up call Greg Roesberry at 870-2784. Tell him you want the "A Thrifty Mom" special!
