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.

    Jenn I talked to the manager about this yesterday….yes you can use a coupon on free item. The store will actually make more money doing it this way but some cashiers have a hard time at the thought of you getting something free. I did this last night to make sure it would work with out a problem…..and they all scanned just fine. Hope that helps

    I was going to email this but I will ask here.. I went in today and had 10 icecreams.. I had 7 .75cents off coupons and then my 3 doublers.. the cashier would only take 5 of them because of the free items.. I have always used a coupon on my free items. isnt it true that alberstons is giving me the free icecream then they will take that .75 cents and get it back from the manufacter? can you please explain to me if I did some thing wrong or if the rules have changed?

    Thanks so much
    Jenn

    I tried this in Idaho Falls and it did not work. Would different stores have different catalina deals?

    Well, Wordless Wednesday is around the corner. It’s pretty hard to talk with a frozen mouth…
