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.

    I was at the Nampa FM and had NO luck finding the toy items here-to-fore mentioned. I was told that the Federal Way store may have some in stock. Also was told that the warehouse had some in stock but wasn’t sure when/if they were going to get into the store.

  • The Playskool Dino Hatchlings were also priced at $9.99 at my store in Nampa. My store also let me use the 10% off coupon BEFORE manufacturer coupons so I was able to get them for $4.00 with the $5/1 coupon!
