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.

    Heather, this was 4 different transactions.
    I had 4 newspapers, with four different Albertsons inserts. Each insert had 3 doublers. So technically there were 12 double coupons. (Only 3 doublers can be used in a transaction at a time.)
    You can pair 1 doubler with one manufacturer’s coupon. So with my juice coupons, which were $1.00 off two juice products, I used a doubler on each of them. 10 juice coupons paired with 10 doublers.
    A little confusing at first. If you need some advice ever, or if that didn’t make since feel free to email me : twinkletoes101@msn.com.

    I think that is AWESOME you got that deal. I love those days. When it all just works. I love to stock up on lunch items (like the juice) when I can get it for next to nothing! Saves so much money since I have six kids. We go through a single pack of juice in one day of cold lunches.

  • I’m new to this couponing thing and this might be a stupid question, but how did the doubler work on the juice? You only used one doubler, but 10 coupons. Did the doubler work on all of them? Hmmm, I’m just stumped. Maybe it’s time for bed :)

    Wow. Feeling a little attacked :( Actually it was the last day of the sale, there was still plenty of juice boxes, and I didn’t take them all by any means:(
    My cashier at Albertsons told me they didn’t have the big size bags and they would gladly honor the coupon. I said ok. And I didn’t expect her to double it even.

    I think it may have been the fact that I had to wait in line for literally 5-10 minutes because the lady in front of me didn’t speak English and she was having a hard time with her WIC check, and then the cash register froze…..:( Sorry if I offended anyone with my post…

    Wow! That’s a lot of juice. It would be nice to have more of a selection when going shopping at Albertson’s. Everyone please play nice and don’t clear the shelves! Thank you!

    Also, that $2 off coupon was for 24 ounce or larger bags of candy, so I know our Albertsons won’t take it on the smaller bags either.

    I live in Oregon. And my Albertsons will sometimes double the $2 coupon, but not always. They are very inconsistent. It just goes to show that stocking up on coupons for stuff you buy is good to do. I had to use 10 of the juice coupons. I usually get enough papers that I have a good stockpile. I sell lots on eBay and my website too…:)My eBay is Weplaycards :)

    My Albies won’t double any coupon over $1:( You’re so lucky:)

  • You’re lucky that your store will double a $2 coupon. The local Albertsons will no longer double coupons if it’s over $1. So say the coupon was $1.50 and before they’d double up to $1 so you end up with $2.50 off… that’s been stopped. :(

  • Natalie

    I’d like to know where she got ALL her juice…the Albies i shop at NEVER has any instock…hmmm
