About Us

I am a stay at home mom with four wonderful kids. I have been married for over 9 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.

Duracell Batteries

Thanks to one of my readers for passing this along,

There is a no limit 1.99 Store Coupon in the ad for Duracell Batteries. We have .50 / 1 (11/30 P&G)mcoupons making it 1.49 per pack. The AA & AAA are ;4 per package. I bought 3 pkg of AA and 3 pkg AAA for 8.94 + tax. I then received back a $5 catalina for P & G. So with the catalina factored in each package of batteries was .66 + tax YAY!

The also have Del Monte Gold Fresh Whole Pineapples 2 for $5.00. There are .75 / 1 printables so I got them each for 1.75 each. That is a great deal! I think Albertson’s price this week is 1.29 per pound.

    Anna, You need to use the Fred Meyer coupon on the back of their weekly add to get the $1.99 price.

    The batteries are $1.88 at Smith’s and it printed the $5.00 catalina after I purchased 6. Good luck.

    Went to Freddies today and they were on sale in Idaho Falls, with coupon f/sunday’s insert. Deal worked as described. Great deal. I think Home Depot has a great sale on AA & AAA Energizers on Friday. I think they’re 30 for abt $10? With all the techno toys for the kids, I’ll be stocking up!

    I went to fred meyers today (11/24)and the batteries were not on sale anymore. I was totally bummed.

    I also went to Fred Meyer in Tacoma, WA last night and bought eggs, dole pineapple, the dino hatchlings toys, paper towels, batteries and some frozen meals and I got back a $2 catalina and could not for the life of me figure out why! Now I am guessing for 4 packs of batteries you get a $2 cat…
