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.

Thrifty Walgreens deal

Before sales or coupons this would have cost $19.90 plus tax

I was able to get it all for $5.60 ( which I paid for with a gift card, that I got for transferring a prescription) So I got them all FREE

Plus I got back $10 in Register Rewards so it was a money maker

IMG_2688My store was really well stocked last week for the money maker deal on Ricola, So I asked if I could buy 10 of them if they still had a bunch of them the last day of the sale.  SO I went in to my local store 15 minutes before they closed late Saturday night and bought 10 bags.  I did have to buy them one at a time, so a Register Reward would print for each one.

If you read my blog you know that I am always encourage you  NOT clear the shelf,  I wanted to make it clear that I waited till the very end of the sale  ( they still had over 50 packages).  Now you are wondering why I bought so many?  Well during the winter I  make home made soup a lot, I often share it with my friends if I hear they are not feeling well.  Or take it to some of the older ladies, that go to my church.  I like to write them a little note, and tie a little ribbon around the cough drops and tell them to feel better soon and enjoy the soup.
