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.

70% Off Local Restaurants


Restaurant.com Weekly Promo Banner 120x60

70% off Restaurant.com $25 Gift Cert. orders + free $10 Lobster Gram offer. Use code PUMPKIN and Pay $3 thru 10/25/09.

We use these when we go out to eat, and love them.  This is a copy of my bill the last time I used one at Silver Spur here in Caldwell Which unfortunately has closed down due to the economy..  My bill would have been $48.68 but I was able to get it for $19.47.  A very Thrifty price for a steak dinner for a family of 5.  You do need to read the fine print most of them say you have to order $35.00 in order to use you $25 gift card and they require a 18% tip.  I am happy to do both of these and always feel like we get a thrifty deal.  The best part is you can print these right of your home computer so you do not need to wait for them to show up in the mail!  Click logo above for more details.

    I just called restaurants.com and they exchanged my certificate for a new one that can be used at any restaurant. Huge bummer that they are closed!!!

  • yeah look close… they do change frequently

  • Piper

    The last time I ordered from restaurants. com I did not notice that some of the restaurants (like brick 29 and Carinos) have raised their minimum spending amount to 40$ to 50$. I was really bummed because I bought it for a date for my husband and I and we would never spend $50 even if we had a Gift certificate that is just way too much food. That’s okay we will use it with another couple later, but people should be aware that some of the restaurants have changed their minimums.

    I had the same problem with them. We were really bummed on Friday night when we couldn’t use ours too.

    I emailed restaurants.com and they have not replied to my email as of yet. I found out they were closed down last week when I went there. Sarah can you email me privately? Thanks.

  • You can contact Restaurant.com to get a refund or exchange i think is what they do. We have to do it now cause we have some certificates for there we havent used yet

  • ahh too bad we ate there a couple of times.. it was really good.. better steak there then any steak house

    I noticed that Silver Spur is still listed at restaurant.com. My husband and I tried to go there last night to use a certificate I had previously gotten and it was CLOSED. The sign on the door stated that it was due to the economic crisis and I am not sure if it will be reopening.
