welcome!

the whole idea is to spend as little as possible for as much as possible.  it's that simple.  no room at my house for going overboard. 

it's tough times so every dollar matters.  finding legal ways to stretch what's left after taxes and bills is my mission. 

maybe you're to that point too.  looking at your options.  not wanting to work a second or third job.  not wanting to cut to a barebones budget.   

wanting to afford life. to eat out. to give good gifts.  to travel. to sleep well at night.  it's not asking too much to just enjoy a regular life!

so we've learned a few things.   there is a time and place for coupons. at our house i'm the couponer.  check out couponmom.com and she'll give you all the tools she gave me to start finding things my extended family needs....for free or super cheap.  it's super easy, fast, fun and rewarding.

and there is a time and place for joining with others who want to save even more.  that's where my hubby comes in.
he's in a grocery club available in the united states and canada.  check out his site at affordmore.info for all the details.   yesterday he went and filled the kia with gas and the whole tank was free.

so it all sounds like it's too good to be true.  i understand.  i can only share with you how it's all working out for us.   and i don't know any reason why what works for us somehow couldn't work for you. 

in this blog i'll share our successes and failures. my hope is it will encourage and inspire you.  and if there really is not a soul out there who needs to stretch paychecks , then i will encourage and inspire myself i guess.  

welcome!
