Welcome and About Me

First of all, I want to welcome you to my newest endeavor. I am excited about putting one of my skills (being frugal almost to a fault) to good use.

Here is a little about me and what you can expect from this blog:

• I am married to a health nut. We eat mostly low-carb foods. For this reason, you will not find very much information here on how to save on packaged foods. However, I consider myself very frugal when it comes to fruits, vegetables, meats, and seafood, so expect a lot of information about these foods!

• I am a mom and a nurse who works full-time. This is why a lot of my recipes and tips are for people who don't have all the time in the world to shop at 6 different grocery stores to find the best deals. My recipes tend to be quick or employ the crockpot. 

• I am a picky eater attempting to expand her horizons. I would expect a lot of the recipes I feature to be hits with kids because I'm basically a 7-year-old trapped in an adult's body. If I could eat dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets every day, I totally would. 

• I am located in Athens, Georgia. This means that the circulars from which I am posting deals pertain to the Southeast and the Metro Atlanta area. 

I have heard from many of you that meal planning and saving money on groceries is time-consuming and generally just a drag. Let me help you with that!

My grocery shopping philosophy is this:
Buy in bulk when it's on sale and freeze. Meal plan around sales and what's in season. Only buy what you need.

(I would love it if you would fill out a 6-question survey to help me tailor my content to your needs.)
