About Us 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.

My Thrifty Albertsons deals

Before sales or coupon this would have cost $177.81

I waited to match my coupons with a great sale,

I was able to get it all for $35.11

026I am so use  to getting things for FREE at Albertsons, so some times it is hard for me to feel like I got a good deal if I did not get them FREE.  That being  said I should be happy with my thrifty deals even if they were not free.  They were  things my family needed, and a really good price.

  • Naomi

    What great deals! I live in the Chicagoland area, and it can be quite expensive to go grocery shopping. I use coupons every opportunity that I get. Unfortunately, none of the grocery stores here offer double coupon discounts. About 15 years ago, one chain had the double coupon discounts. They went out of business, much to my dismay. Keep up the good work of letting others in on your money saving secrets!

    Our albertsons doesn’t double so I am a little confused. When you use twice the value coupon does that double all like coupons or do you use a doubler for each individual coupon?

  • Katie you can use one twice the value coupon for one manufacturer coupon….hope that helps
