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.

We should all do this – What do you think?

So we were in Idaho Falls this past weekend and Sarah had me make a run to Albertsons. (The one on Holmes and 17th). When I walked in I noticed something that I think we should all be doing. Now I don’t know the story behind this poster, if it was a party, or a function of some sort. In my mind I hope that some family wanted to just tell their local grocery store thanks.

So I think it is about time, that we all tell our local grocery store how much we love them… even if we need to pull this thanks from deep down inside of us.
People will tell you that if you say thanks, and show appreciation, even when there are those moments that we didn’t get along with cashiers or mangaers, that if we say thanks first and make it know then that next moment might just go alittle smother!

    There are comment cards at most stores too. I filled one out and mentioned the name of some of my favorite cashiers and they got a pat on the back from their managers. The clerks thanked me very much and I even had one manager call me and thank me for saying such nice things about his store.

    Oh yes! love this idea! Makes me cringe that I didn’t think of it, but sure am glad to follow after the Olsen’s great example. :)

  • I have taken cupcakes and cookies to “my” Walgreens and CVS. The clerks are so appreciative and I love it that they are coupon friendly. I have such a good rapport with all of them, and I want them to know how I feel.

    I LOVE the 17th store and tell them all the time. I wish I’d known you were in IF I’d have love’d to meet you in person! :) Next time you’re planing a trip let me know I could meet you at Albies :)

    WOW….so excited we made your blog:) Yes, this is from my two daughters and myself. We have made soooo many dear friends at this Albertson’s store. You cant beat saving money and being with your friends too! They are awesome to work with and we just wanted to say thank you. We made brownies and surprised them on a Thursday…..not a Tuesday night with doublers:) hehehe Happy couponing.

    I was just thinking the same thing and will be doing just that. First thank you to Target. I have a stockpile of quality items I could never have afforded with out their coupons and stacking them with manu coupons.
