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.

Print coupons on Red Plum Disclosure Policy

In Todays Paper

In today’s local Idaho Papers we got 2 coupon inserts, the Red Plum, and the  Smart Source .

If you buy your Sunday papers from the news stand   MAKE SURE you look to see if the coupons are in them.  There has been a huge problem with people stealing the coupons from the papers and not buying the paper. You are out of luck if your coupons are missing from the news stand.  But  If you get the paper delivered to your home ,and have a subscription with them, and if for any reason your coupons or inserts are missing  CALL THEM SUNDAY MORNING ASAP!!!  They will be happy to bring out your missing inserts but they need to have you call in time to get on that days re-deliver route.

I am lucky to have 2 local papers, That are willing to help us coupon  shoppers out with rock bottom  multiple deals .  To ready about the A Thrifty Mom paper deal click here or the Idaho Statesman Thrifty Mom paper deal .  This has been a huge key to my coupon savings because I am able to get multiple coupons at a rock bottom price!

    Tammy;
    I, too, get the Statesman and they are not good about getting me all of my papers either! And, apparently, I live in a no-redeliver zone! So, in order for me to get my papers, I have had to print off coupons that they send to me and drive to the store to get my papers. Seems to me like that was what I was doing to begin with! Hasn’t saved me anything to have the paper ‘delivered’! I am pretty frustrated, and my husband has called 2x to cancel, and we still get the paper (sometimes)!

    The last 3 weeks I have gone to the only place in town that carries newspapers in our areas and someone has stole all the inserts out of the papers and left the rest. I keep pulling the one out of the front when that happens so the next person won’t get suckered like I do. Because we live in a rural area, they will not deliver a paper to us leaving us this store as an only option or drive 20 mile to another town. I called our local paper company to complain and supposely they were sending someone out to gather the rest of the papers w/out inserts and sending me a refund for the last 3 weeks. What a pain though. I cannot believe how some people are!

    Good to know about the press tribune. It is now too late to call them but will definately do in the morning.

  • Tammy

    I talked to the Idaho Statesman three times this morning to get my extra papers delivered. They never did bother to do it. Thanks for nothing!!

  • Yes I think the Press Tribune has problems with their insert machine, I called them about it this moring. Just call them ASAP and let them know, if you do not get them by morning call again…

  • Ingard

    I get one Stateman and their was a smart source AND a redplum. My Tribune only had redplum.

  • Aeja, they do not come out every Sunday or every week for that matter…but yes my guess is being that they were 7 day doubles they did not print another set.

  • Leah, yes i am sure….call then right away and tell them you need your Smart Source replaced….sarah

  • Aeja

    I didn’t find any Albertson doublers in today’s paper… Is this because they released 7-day doublers on last Wednesday?

  • I get the Press tribune and I only saw the Red Plum… are you sure there is a Smart source this week
