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.

    Yay! I voted! But I missed the November deadline, so if you didn’t get November, I hope I helped you with December :) Love that we were given the opportunity to help. I wish I could vote for all the shelters- these shelters and animals are in need!

    This is a pretty wonderful opportunity for a small group of “thrifty” moms to make a statement and support a worthy cause here in Idaho. It did take a couple of minutes to register and vote, but now I’ll vote daily until the contest is over. Currently this small shelter is tied for first place with 441 votes along side a shelter in Quincy, IL. GO IDAHO–LET’S TAKE CARE OF OUR PETS TOGETHER!
