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.

006First off let me say that my Albertson had a mountain of soda at the front of the store, and they plan to have even more come.   I plan to buy another 16 but I am going to wait to later in the week, to make sure the other shipment comes in. Second you are wondering why on earth I bought 16 bottles of Sierra Mist?  Well I plan to tie a cute bow around it, with a poem and give as gift for Christmas.  Each year I have to come up with around 50 gifts for teachers, neighbors, friends, family.   I love to give gifts, but it get very expensive quick, so I am always looking for things under $1 that I could turn into a gift.

Coca- Cola, Pepsi, or 7-up 2 liter bottles promo $1.20  ( normal price $1.99 each)

    I couldn’t find the poem on your facebook page. Can you perhaps share it on this blog. Thanks

  • Hi,
    I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog! You are helping me save lots of money, thank you so much for all your hard work.
    I also wanted to pass on a little crafty tip. I recently posted on my blog about making my own note pads as gifts. It is pretty inexpensive and makes a great personal gift. If you want to take a look its http://mysweetdecember.blogspot.com/2009/12/make-your-own-notepad.html

    what is the poem that goes with this, sounds like it might be really cute?

  • Jennifer

    So, are you going to share the poem idea for the soda??? You always have great THRIFTY ideas!

  • Priscilla…yes but they take off the $1.20 for the FREE one not .87 cents ( at least that is how my store did it)

    Just wanted to let you know that at the Idaho Falls, Broadway store, if you bought six 2 liters of coke products they had 2$ off coupons at the meat counter. Along with these they also gave you 3$ in meat coupons. I combined this with the bogo sale they were having on their meat and it made for a pretty thrifty deal. Ended up with 4 packages of meat and 12 liters of coke for only 23$. Could have been cheaper, had I spent less on the meat, but my husband is pretty picky. :) They only had a limited quantity of the coupons.

    What a great idea! A great thrifty gift! Please share when you get them done! Just love your ideas!

  • Priscilla

    Do you use the BOGO peelie after they take the $1 off 3?
