Welcome

Hello! I am creating this blog as a way for me to track my savings/spending and encourage others in my area to get the most out of their money during these difficult times. I have always been a saver and enjoy couponing, sale shopping, and going to garage sales however I am currently home on maternity leave and we are trying to get buy on as little as possible so now it is not only fun but a necessity. I live in an area where we do not have all of the grocery stores that most people blog about so I am hoping that I can fill a gap for others by blogging about my savings at the stores that we do have in the Northwest part of Iowa.
