About Us
I am a stay at home mom with four wonderful kids. I have been married for over 9 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.

Thanks to Tina for passing this deal along,
I found a thrifty deal at Walmart you might want to share: Olay body wash with a small Olay total effects attached. They are 5.47 each and the Olay total effects 4.00 coupon ( from the 6/6 P&G insert ) works for these. So it makes them 1.47 each, I think that a pretty good price? The coupon expires 7/31 if that helps.
Right now Walmart has free samples of Better then Ears Dog Treats. Click Here

Thanks to Cindy for passing this along,
Very thrifty deal can be found in the Walmart in the Vision Center, and they have a new product by Bausch + Lomb called Bio True Multi-Purpose Solution. The 4 oz. bottles were priced at $4 and right beside them were $4/1 coupons — which made them free!
I have done this deal at the Walmart on Fairview and Garden City Walmart and Walmart on Overland. No one else seems to know about it. They really were free, I just paid tax. It is INSIDE the vision center not on the isle.
