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.

This Ends on Clean up your Computer Day – Feb 8th 
We are pleased to bring you this A Thrifty Mom Giveaway from iolo’s System Mechanic. They contacted us last spring and asked if I wanted to try their product out. I agreed and installed it on my wife’s laptop. This laptop computer is kind of old and it is VERY slow. Poor Sarah always got frustrated trying to enter her post on the site when the computer would freeze and lock up. All of her hard work would get lost and she would have to restart the computer. I tried just about everything on it, from free virus scanners to paid name brand security products. Nothing worked! Till Allison from iolo contacted us. I installed it back in April and Sarah has been thrilled. No crashes, no laggy computer trying to load something or freezing on her while she is trying to by the Thrifty Mom.
Sarah’s old laptop used to run the cooling fan at high speeds and seemed to get hot, because there was so many different problems running at the same time. Since I installed this its been quite as can be. Its fast, and never lags, or freezes. We almost forget its even there, as it cleans and speeds up the computer while its on and she is away with the kids.
So Here’s the giveaway:
5 winners will get one download for up to 3 different computers!
Normal price is $49 to purchase!
Free for 5 lucky A Thrifty Mom readers
