About Us I am a stay at home mom with three wonderful kids. I have been married for over 8 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’ve received a few gift certificates over the last year, as well as e-cards, and I think they’re great. Once they’re claimed, they just show up in my account, and automatically apply when I purchase something. I can also look up the balance easily through my account, so I know what my limits are. I also like the fact that I can use them to buy used books sold by other merchants too, which helps me buy the hard-to-find books I like. So far, I’ve used gift certificates for books and DVDs and have had no problems.
