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.

If you are Frugal do you need self-control to keep yourself on track for fitness goals

One of my frugal friends recommended the site Learn Vest, they send out a daily email with money  tips, crafts, decorating ideas… frugal living.  I have to say I really enjoy their articles and find them useful… best part they are not spammy or filled with ads.

This week they wrote a great guide to the cost of  fitness, time commitment  and how much will power it takes to stay commented. I found it very useful and thought you may enjoy it as well.  But I can not cut and paste the list so If you want to take a peek at it you will need to head over to Learn Vest.  Their site is free to join, but does require an email (you can always use your coupon email, if you want to keep you inbox clear..but I rather enjoy their updates) In the search bar, in the top right type in: Get in Shape! Find the Best Workouts for You and Your Budget

Often, the pricier choices—like exercise classes or hiring a personal trainer—require less willpower because there’s a minimum time commitment and an instructor to goad you into first, showing up, and then, working out your hardest. Of course, if you have the self-control to keep yourself on track, you can probably make do with one of the lower-cost variations.
