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.

FREE Cereal at Fred Meyer

Post Cereal

Update*** Looks like the Catalina may have ended on the 29th….so this deal may be over?

Thanks to Terri for passing this along,

I wanted to tell you about something unexpected and wonderful that happened to me at Fred Meyer yesterday.

They have a store coupon for Post cereals  2/$3 or $1.50 each in the Sunday ad.  I had a manu. coupon cut from the back of a cereal box for $1 off of 2 boxes, so I decided to get a couple boxes of Shredded Wheat (even though we did get a LOT of cereal a few months ago!).  When I paid, two separate $1 catalinas from Post printed out of the catalina machine…one was purple and the other blue but both from Post.  It made my cereal free!

I was so excited that I went back in and got two more boxes of Shredded Wheat in different flavors and two boxes of Grape Nuts.  I bought the boxes two at a time and the catalinas printed out each time.  I was also able to roll them….use the catalinas from one purchase to buy the next one.  This is a deal you could keep doing over and over.

Does anyone know how long this Catalina promo runs?

    I received the $1 cat from Post on Friday (Dec. 4th) for buying Kellogg’s cereal. I purchased five boxes, so no idea how many it took to trigger. My boxes cost $.29 a piece.

    I just went to Fred Meyers today (Tuesday)and bought 1 Honeycomb and one Golden Crisp and I got a $1 catalina.

    I tried to do this today. I bought 4 boxes of post cereal and got no catalinas. It isn’t working in Idaho.

  • I went today and bought 2 post cereals and recieved a $1 cat. so as of today the $1 for every 2 (from the sounds of it) printed for me. But I did not recieve the other Cat.

    I bought 4 boxes of Post in one transaction on Sunday at FM and got $5 in cats. One $3 cat and the two $1 cats, all from post! With coupons this is a great deal!!

    According to my info (a catalina notification that printed out at Fred Meyer) the promo dates were 11/6 to 11/29.So it was supposed to end a day before you got the deal. Either they extended it, or you got blessed! (And I didn’t see anything about TWO catalinas–nice!)
