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.

Readers Thrifty deal at Pauls

I just wanted to share a good deal I came across today at Pauls on Lake Hazel and Five Mile. They have the four pack of Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits on sale for $3.98. If you use the dollar off coupon and an Albertson’s doubler, the cost is only $1.98 per box! I was able to get three boxes with with three manufacturer coupons and one set of doublers and the total was only $6.48. My little boy loves these biscuits for quick, on the go breakfasts so I was pretty tickled. This is the last day of the sale, but I just had to share.

Thanks Kimmie

Pauls will take Albertsons double coupons

I have heard from a few of my readers that Pauls Food stores will take competitors coupons, they will also take the  Albertsons Double coupons.  I call to confirm this at my Caldwell store, and they said yes they will be happy to take them. So if you live close to a Pauls Market you may want to stop in and get some good deals.  This is a good tip for those who live close to the Albertsons stores that will only allow 3 doubles a day. Click here to find a Pauls near you.

Thanks Michele for this Thrifty Tip

Pauls Market Yoplait deal

pauls1

We got this email from one of our Thrifty Readers, MH:

I just wanted to let you know of a great deal I just got on Yoplait yogurt.  Pauls is advertising their Yoplait yogurt for .33 if you redeem I believe 3 pauls points (from your card).  I went ahead and got 6 and used my .40 coupon from Sundays insert and got 6 yogurts for only 1.58 plus tax.  These normally cost about .58 at winco and walmart.  I thought it was a thrifty deal.

Sure is a Thrifty Deal – Thanks for the tip
