About Me!

Share
Here is a little bit about me...

I feel like I know so many of you already from all of your wonderful comments, emails, and questions, so I thought I'd share a little about my family and I. I'm a work at home mother of 4 living just outside of Orlando. I have 2 sons, and 2 daughters: Jack (8), Hannah(6), Brendan(3), and Clara(1). I help run the family business by answering customer calls & emails through the day. My wonderful husband works very hard as a Financial advisor/planner and has recently gone back to school (UCF). And, we are now a homeschooling family! YAY!!
I began couponing not long after my decision to be a stay at home mom. Just before my 3rd child was born, I left my job as a nurse to be home with my children. Couponing has REALLY helped make ends meet, especially now with the current economy. I started "super couponing" and stockpiling about 2yrs ago.

Why did I start this blog?

At first, I started blogging to keep track of spending, and to keep up on the sale schedules. When family & friends started noticing that my pantries were always stocked (and sometimes overflowing) and I was spending LESS than ever before, they were intrigued. I wanted to help them and encourage them, so I started blogging even more. I started sharing deals, tips, and finally ad matchups. As the interest grew, I started offering free coupon classes in the area. I really do enjoy helping others save as much as possible. The classes I teach are a lot of fun!
And now, I absolutely LOVE reading comments & emails about how much YOU are saving!!

  1. Hi there!! I have a blog as well and from time to time I share some great deals with other bloggers and wanted to know if you'd be interested at all in joining my list: www.kcpennypinchinmama.com.

    If so, email me at tracie@kcpennypinchinmama.com and I'll start including you when I email some of the hot finds I track down!

    I put together a really detailed list of deals that can be found at Walgreens this week . I thought that it might save you a little bit of time.

  3. Mary,
    I just want to say I love the new look of your blog. I REALLY love the buttons on the side to find specific stores, it is nice to click right on. And I wanted to congratulate you on your decision to homeschool. I don't homeschool currently, but you never know what the Lord has in store down the road. I admire those who do though.
    I love that you always post local deals, you have all the stores covered that I shop and you are a fellow believer and God is blessing you and your family by being wise and frugral with your finances and sharing your strategies with us.
    Just wanted to say THANKS for all you do and I hope you win the Orlando Sentinel blog award!

  5. Hi I was wondering about how to get my blog button on your side?

    Also it would be easier for companies and fellow bloggers to contact you if you had a contact button on the top of your blog. :)

    Love your site!
