Welcome to my first post! As you may have gathered, I'm frugal and PROUD of it! I was blessed to be raised by frugal (some may say cheap) parents and have carried on their proud traditions (actually, my husband would say that I've raised it to a whole new level!).
Although I've taken my fair share of grief over my tightwad ways, I thank GOD that have these habits. Not only have they enabled us to have and/or give things we enjoy, but as of late, these habits have really come in handy! As with many in America (and really, all over the world) my husband was laid-off in December, 2008. As a stay-at-home mom running a single-income family, this has been a true challenge - financially, mentally, emotionally, etc. I'm blessed that my husband is very talented and has decided to start his own business...although that means some more tight times ahead, until things get going with the new biz, and try to reach our other BIG goals (more on these later). Follow our journey here and I promise you won't be disappointed...this blog will be chock full of tips, methods, recipes, advice, coupons, hot deals, freebies, craziness, toddler antics, and much more! Thanks for your support. Frugal Jen
