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.

Halloween tips

pumOne of our readers sent us this great tip and link:

Halloween costumes have gotten expensive, haven’t they? I was looking for a Kung Fu Panda outfit for my son and they’re $40 new! Unbelievable for something he’ll wear once. With budgets tighter this year, moms (like me) are looking for ways to save on Halloween.

PicClick.com, a visual eBay browser, is seeing more people searching for Halloween costumes this year on eBay. With PicClick you can see up to a hundred products on one page compared to a handful in the standard eBay view. As we all know, the human mind can scan and process images much more quickly than text. It’s a great new way to explore and discover new things on eBay.

Shop for Halloween costumes on eBay through PicClick to buy discounted or once-used costumes

· Hunt thrift stores, garage sales and dollar stores for affordable decorations

· Buy candy in bulk from warehouse store like Sam’s Club, Winco, Albertsons, or your local stores.

· Get creative and make your own costume

· Start shopping right after Halloween for next year to get deep discounts

· Buy Halloween decorations last minute for big savings

Thanks Susan!

    I bought some great decorations at a rummage sale. People get tired of their decorations, so I got a great deal!

    Dollar stores also have name brand bags of candy for $1. Not too bad if you’re only looking to buy a couple bags.

    oh, and shop for your next year’s Halloween decorations after Halloween. You’ll get huge savings and be all set next year! My husband and I do this with Halloween and Christmas decorations. We stock up and then have fun getting everything we forgot about out the next year :)
