Hi! I'm Christina. I'm a married mother of 2 who works full time and happens to be addicted to couponing and budgeting. I'm starting this blog because I have learned how to budget, meal plan, and coupon and have friends who want to learn how I do it.
I live in a town of about 15,000 in the midwest. We have Walmart, Target, Cash Wise, Shop Ko, and Econo Foods. With all those options, it's still impossible to get a cart full of groceries for $1.00. I usually save between 25-50% on my grocery bills and even more than that on my household items. Sometimes I do better, sometimes worse. I budget $400/month for groceries and household items for our family of 4. Sound interesting? Keep reading.
Here's what I do:
I budget.
I meal plan.
I coupon.
I shop sales and clearance.
I save money.
I'm very new to this whole blogging thing so you'll have to cut me a little slack if I'm slow starting out. Plus, I am a busy mother, wife, and full time nurse, so I don't always have a ton of time to myself. Ask me any questions and I'll try to answer or steer you in the right direction, but it might take a few days. Feel free to post on here or email me at savinginasmalltown@gmail.com.
