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.

At Toys R Us you can get the Pictureka card game for .99 with the $5 off a Pictureka game coupon. It is regularly priced $5.99.

Also, Target has a lot of baby items on clearance, such as onesies, socks (6 pack for 2.98), plus a whole section of clothes that all coordinate.

Then at Walgreen’s they have all of their summer toys 50% off. So if you use some of your register rewards from some of the good deals last week and this week some of the items will be free. A good time to stock up on summer birthday gifts.

Thanks to Michele for these Thrifty Deals

When I click on the link above, I am not finding a coupon for the game mentioned. Am I doing something wrong?
