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.

  • hmm. not sure how that happened, we did ours fine..we did pay alittle bit.. $4.95 i think for a photo…

  • I could not get the same deal on the free mug. I picked a free template, added verbaige, and the picture and the mug itself was still $9.99.

    Sarah,

    Just wanted to say to everyone be careful with the Free gifts. I was just bullied over the phone by a telemarketer who got my credit card info. from Vista print when I did my Free lables. He was so pressuring me and said he already had my card number and would charge me to ship info. for 2.99 (just the shipping) I said no at least 5 times and he wouldn’t let up. Just beware of other companies to “sell” your info. and check your credit card and bank statements carefully!!!
