Hi. My name is Jessica and I LOVE to shop!…..so I had to learn to Save….
I am the wife of one totally rad husband and two super adorable boys (ages 2 & 5)….oh and two goofy old hound dogs….
Confession: I am actually NOT obsessed with coupons….they are just an easy way to save money….
I am NOT the lady who plans her “haul” for 6 weeks….has a 120 page spread sheet of match-ups, spends 6 hours in the grocery store filling 15 carts, hands over 2000 coupons and makes the poor cashier do 25 transactions so I can get my groceries for $.50….
I DO NOT buy something just because it is Free or Cheap if I am not going to use it or donate it to someone who will.
Guess what is in my linen closet?….Linens! Call me crazy….but my stockpile isn’t so large that it runs my family out of the rooms we live in….though I do have a modest stockpile of non-perishable products put away.
My goal is to make couponing & frugal living fit PRACTICALLY into my life. I try to save at least 40%-50% Off retail while making as FEW trips as necessary.
I enjoy finding great deals and fabulous products…both online and in-stores….and this site is about sharing those deals with you! So thanks for reading and I hope you will visit often.

I posted this picture because a) it is actually recent (Feb 2012) and b) I thought it really represented what my “normal” days are like…nothing glamorous when you are hanging on for dear life… and yes I take all the pictures for the site (that aren’t images of course) myself from the camera on my phone…and I am admittedly no photographer….still that doesn’t stop me…:)
My taters…(the chair is large they are not miniature)
Flash and Hank affectionately referred to as “The Stupids”…bless their hearts….these two made us “Cat People”.
