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.

Normally I tell you to hurry and sign up before the spot are all gone…. as that was the case just a few months ago.  Now we are looking at the possibility of losing sites due to lack of participation.  Normally we have two pick up locations in Caldwell but one didn’t run last week due to lack of sign ups… and the other site was short as well.

SO IF YOU WANT BOUNTIFUL BASKET TO STAY IN OUR AREA…… PLEASE SIGN UP!
