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.

Want to thank a soldier

Tomorrow is Veterans Day,

Over the weekend I saw a news story on the feelings we have all had on ways to say thank you to the soldiers with out making a scene or “bothering” the troops. I thought it was the perfect way to “say it, and want to pass it on.

How To Sign

The sign we are using is intended to communicate
“thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

To make the sign simply place your hand on your heart
as though you’re saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Then
pull your hand down and out, bending at the elbow
(not the wrist), stopping for a moment at about the belly button with your hand flat, palm up, angled toward the person you’re thanking.

Thanks for the Gratitude Campaign for coming up with this great new way to say thanks!

    Thank you for posting this link. My husband, retired Army Iraq Vetran saw the story on the news and had a few tears after. Something so simple can mean so much. Thank you.
