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.

Walmart Doorbuster “Map”

In an attempt to make shopping easier for their customers, Walmart will be posting online a store “map.” On Thanksgiving Day, log on to walmart.com, type in your zipcode and you will be directed to a map of your local store listing where doorbuster items will be located in the store. Two years ago, the baby dolls I was searching for were next to Health & Beauty products.=) Also, don’t forget that Walmart will price match any competitors ad. You need to have the competitor’s ad with you and it needs to be the day and time that the ad is good for to be able to price match.

For example, last year Toys R Us had a razor scooter for $17.99 the day after Thanksgiving. Well, the sale was good from 6a.m. – 11a.m. and that was the only item we wanted to purchase from Toys R Us. So we took the ad with us to Walmart (between 6a.m. and 11a.m.) snagged some of their doorbuster deals and also picked up a razor scooter. Walmart’s price was $35, but we got it for $17.99. Also, at Walmart that morning, they only had blue scooters and I was buying it for my daughter. So we went ahead and bought it and the next time I was at Walmart, we exchanged it for a pink one. Walmart will only price match an item that they carry. If the brand or product size is not the same, they won’t price match.

Thanks Saving Saint
