About Us 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.

Could it be??? Did California really get double coupons?

shockedface

Got this email this morning from Rocio.

Need to ask you a question, this morning in my sunday newspaper(san diego). I received an albertson’s 3 day sale flyer with 3 Double the Value coupons. This is the first time I have seen these. Can you please tell me how to best use these?

First off I have to say Yipppeee for all my Calfifornia readers, I admit I do not think it was  fair that up till now you have been left out of the whole double coupon promo.  I hope you all got them and will get some thrifty deals.  Here are a few tips to remember while trying to use them.

You can use 3 twice the value (double coupons) per family per shopping trip.  They will double any coupon up to the value of $1.00 making that coupon twice its value.  SO if you use a .75 cent coupon it will double up to $1.50 or if you use a $1.00 coupon it will double to $2.00.  They will not double a coupon for $1.01 or more. They will not double a coupon that says do not double, or not subject to doubling.

Did anyone else get these in California?????
