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.

    Can you use a coupon for a larger size like 64 oz juice that cost more money even if the coupon states 46 oz ???

  • Susie

    At my Albertson’s today they had Orville Redebacher Healthy pop on clearance for $1 per box of 4 bags. You can use the coupon from the paper awhile back for $1/2. $0.50 per box was a great deal for popcorn!

  • Amanda

    Clip BOX TOPS and Cambells SOUP LABELS even if you don’t have kids or your kids don’t go to public schools. With resent budget cut the schools are hurting for funding. Clipping labels and box tops will help your local school. The schools use the money form this to pay for assemblies, class room needs and support for teachers. A great local school with great teachers increases your property values and we all need that. Just walk into the school office and place the labels and box tops into the collection bins or give them to the secretary. Your local schools and I Thank You…..

    Here’s a deal I did this morning: There’s an in-ad coupon making them $2.99 each – limit 8. They are in the CHILL promo. Buy 8 pizza and 2 Old Orchard juice and use 4 $1/2 Red Baron multiserve (from SS 1/31.)You’ll spend $22.50 and get $10 back. $12.50 for 8 pizzas and 2 juice… I like to have pizza on hand for the occasional quick dinner. Way less than eating out :)

  • Amber

    becky-
    Please tell me more. did he say how the deal would work? I just bought $1/2 post coupons on ebay last week. Hopefully doubles will come next week too. =)

  • Kelly

    Usually Albertsons leaves jars for the local schools when they do a big box top or labels sale. Look for them by the door.

  • Dena

    Our Albertson’s accepts Safeway coupons & Safeway has a Hot pockets coupon for $1.50 a piece(limit 4). Could make for a good c.h.i.l.l. deal! Working all 3 Cat deals that where going on last week I was able to get $185 worth of groceries for $40 & received an additional $26.50 in Cats to use this week. yippee!! Thanks for all your great tips!

  • Becky

    Sarah, Jared at the Caldwell Albertson’s told me today that next Wednesday, March 17th’s ad is another HUGE Post cereal promo with $.76 cereal. He also said the Chill promo runs all month long.

  • Bonny

    Does anyone know if the .99 Old Orchard Apple Juice is still triggering the CHILL promo? Will it keep triggering it next week?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am always saving the campbell’s education labels and the box tops. I used to send them to school with my little sisters because I don’t have any children but they have all grown up and don’t take them anymore. I would love to send them to your son if you would like. Then I will have a reason to keep saving them! lol

    At Winco today I found Tuna Helper priced at 98 cents. Many of the boxes have peelies that say $1.00 of any tuna fish with the purchase of a tuna helper. The Hy-top tuna is 48 cents. That makes one box of Tuna Helper and a can of tuna only 46 cents. And if you use the .75 of 3 boxes of hamburger/tuna helper, It makes it only 23 cents for both. I bought 6 boxes of tuna helper and 6 cans of tuna for $1.38 plus tax. The cashier wasn’t really excited about the hamburger/tuna helper coupon (internet printable) but after conferring with the manager they decided to take them. YMMV! Good luck!

  • Tracy

    I don’t have any kids, but buy tons of items that have the campbell’s education labels on them. I would be more then welcome to send them to your son if you like.
