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.

Albertsons Double Ideas

In today’s paper you  will be happy to find an ad from Albertsons, and on the the bottom of it has 3 twice the value coupons.  Otherwise known as double coupons.  Albertsons will match the price of a manufacturer coupon for $1.00 or less.  If you coupon is $1.01 or more they will not double it.  You can double 3 coupons per shopping trip.

I got a really thrifty deal on some cleaning products last night. Albertsons had a note saying that when you buy two Shout Nature’s Source Stain Remover, get a $2.00 catalina. There were $1 off peelies on each bottle. (I think there was also a coupon in a Sunday coupon book, too, but I don’t know when.) At an origianl price of $3.99, each bottle came out to $.99 (including taking into account the catalina.) I also had a Palmolive Pure and Clear dish soap mail-in rebate. There was also a $.75 off coupon — both in one of the Sunday coupon books a couple weeks ago. At the sale price of $2.50, using the coupon + doubler, the end price was $1. I’m waiting to see if I get the full $2.50 with the rebate, or if they will just send the $1. Worst case, it was free. Best case, money maker!! Total for these natural cleaning products:$2.45 or an overage of $.05!! Either way a great deal!

    Hi, Not sure if any one knows this or not, I’m most likly the last but her it goes anyway, I used up the last of my juicy Juice coupons, did them in three’s and used 3 twice the Val. coupons, Paid my .18 cents, and WOW got a catalina back for .75 of my next Two and the best Part it kept printing another Catalina for $1.00 of my Next Trip….YEAH!!!!!Did That 5 times….Yeah for me again

    Pinching your Pennies has a post on Cambell soup where you get $5.00 back if you purchase 30 can (northwest region). Do you know if we get that here in the Boise/Meridian area?

    I’m so jellous……….. but I’m also wondering if I am just not looking in the right place for the coupons……. I know our Albertsons is the LLC…. and I do not get the paper delivered, I DO get the ad on mondays when most people get it on Wed. in my area….. because I asked to be on the maililng list. (and even the people that work there didn’t know you could do that)

    and we don’t get the neat-o catalinas you all get we get ones for $14.99 break change at Midas or something like that. :(

    On the soup, what coupon insert? Saturday? What does it look like?
