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.

Are you ready for this?
I have been looking for a great deal on the paper for over a year now. I have been working with the Idaho Press-Tribune and, I am thrilled to let you know about the ” A Thrifty Mom” Idaho Press-Tribune paper deal.
For only $13.20 a month (this is over half off the normal price) you will get 1 daily paper (Monday- Saturday) But on Sundays you will get 4 Sunday papers. These will be delivered to your home. The coupon inserts come in the Sunday paper, so you will get 4 coupon inserts. This is a coupon shoppers dream. If you want to upgrade to 6 Sunday papers it will be another $1.20 a week, that is only .60 cents a paper. Or if you already buy the paper you can add up to 5 Sunday papers for only .60 cents each.
So do I think it is worth the money?  Yes, yes, yes…..have you read my blog? Wonder how I save so much money, It is all because of multiple coupons from the Sunday coupon inserts.
To sign up or for any other questions, call Greg at the Idaho Press-Tribune 208-870-2784,
Make sure you ask for the “A Thrifty Mom” price.

For my reader that are not in Idaho here is a link that offers discounted papers all across the USA. Enter in your zip code and see what is available in your area.

    I wish the spokesman review would do something like that!!!! :-(

  • For the most part they are the same……

  • melissa

    Ok I can get the Idaho Statesman or the IPT any difference in coupons?

  • LilKim

    Just a question if anyone knows the answer, please help. THe only deal available in my area is for the NY Times….does the times get Sunday coupons?

  • Rebecca! yes it is great!!! I love opening my door on sunday and seeing a stack of papers on my front step!

  • I’m excited! I am finally moving back to Boise after being in Denver for two months…I’m calling tomorrow to start getting my papers delivered on Sunday! Finally no more running to the newstand Sunday morning. Glorious I tell ya.

  • Melissa Y

    Was there a particular department that you contacted?

  • Melissa, Just keep asking over and over is what I had to do. I told them there was market for and and I do not think they were ready for all the coupon ladys….Explain that it will mean more papers sold for them, and in todays economy everyone needs to sell!

  • Melissa Y

    How did you go about getting this set up? I live in Dallas, TX and would love to get something like this here. Our Sunday papers are $3.00 each. They recently raised rates b/c circulation was low. What advice can you give for me to try here? Who did you contact? What did you do to convince them this was a good idea? Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks for all you do!

  • Pascale, I think they have a special for $1.00 for the sunday paper…. I know they charge $2.00 if you buy it at the news stand.

  • Pascale

    Do you know if the Statesman has any deals on multiple Sunday papers?
    Thanks

  • Not that I know of…you have to order the full paper

  • Sara Watts

    I was wondering if there is a way to just order the redplum and super saver inserts. I noticed they both have websites, are the all the coupons from the inserts available on their website?

  • Hey Sarah and Matt,

    I live in New Hampshire and I wonder if you have any paper deals in this area?

    Thanks for checking for me. Would love to reap the benefits of these extra papers.

    Thanks in advance

  • Sally I am pretty sure you can sign up for ez-pay which bills you each month

  • sally

    With the newspaper deal do you know if it is billed monthly or all up front. Just trying to budget for this great deal. Thanks!

  • A Thrifty Mom

    Yes the price will go up after 6 months. It will go up $4.50 a month, BUT all you have to do is cancel. By them you will know if the sunday papers are worth it to you. I still think it is the best deal in town.

  • Anonymous

    Hi,

    Can you explain how the price goes up in 6 months. I wasn’t told that by Greg. Thanks

  • A Thrifty Mom

    They are almost the same, every couple months the Statesman will have one that is different

  • Jinjue

    I have never gotten the idaho press tribune- are the coupons good? How do you compare it to the idaho statesman coupons?
    thank you~this sounds like a GREAT deal!

  • A Thrifty Mom

    Tyson and Laurel,
    The Press Tribune gets the Red Plum, and the Smart Source. Once a month they also get the P&G insert. We are so lucky that they carry all three inserts, many papers have dropped the red plum.

  • Tyson and Laurel

    what coupon inserts are in the tribune?

  • cokeb5

    I called Greg and he said they don’t have a motor route in Eagle but they are looking into it. He is going to talk to the Motor Route Manager and if they can get enough people they will do a route.
    He’ll get back to me on Monday.

  • cokeb5

    Does anyone know if they will deliver to Eagle? What a great deal I will switch from the Statesman to the Tribune if so.
    Thanks Sarah.

  • A Thrifty Mom

    Well if you are not going to use the coupons then no it is not a good deal….BUT I happy to pay that because I get all my money back normaly with one coupon….and there are hundreds of coupons so it is well worth the money in my opinion. Try it and if you don’t like it then you will know it is not for you.
    sarah

  • Margo Hammeren

    After 6 mo the price increases to $10.75..is it still a good deal then?

  • A Thrifty Mom

    No not to Boise, but I am trying to work out a deal with the Idaho Statesman. I’ll keep you posted

  • Anonymous

    Do you know if they deliver to Boise?

  • A Thrifty Mom

    Yes the deal will still be good month from now. They get most the same inserts as the statesman….last month I only noticed 1 week they did not get the GM insert (4 page)…..but they are also lower in price….I think this is the best deal.
    Make sure you ask for the “A Thrifty Mom” price so you get the correct price. Take care

  • Michelle

    Awesome! I am in Meridian and just discovered your blog. I currently get the Idaho Statesman but it expires next month. Will I still be able to do this deal next month or should I call now? Also do you know if the coupons are comparable to what the Idaho Statesman has?

  • Brian

    Sarah, I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the work you put into this site and your extra info!

    I just signed up and Greg was quoting an even lower price than what you listed (maybe because I’m a new subscriber). THANKS!

  • Sarah

    If you want to buy just the Sunday paper is $6 a month. So if you wanted to get 4 Sunday papers it will be $24.00 a month. ( and you won’t get the daily paper) I have to tell you the A Thrifty Mom paper deal is the best price. I am thrilled to tell you all about it!

  • Sheree

    Is there anyway we can just get only sunday papers at a discount? Or do you find coupons inside the weekday papers too?
