My Story

“When you’ve raised 7 kids you are always looking for ways to be wiser with your money.”

My name is Diana and along with my amazing husband Steve, I’ve raised 7 kids, with all the laundry, cooking and homework that comes with it.  In 2010, a friend suggested I get into couponing and like most I was skeptical. Soon after making an investment of money & time I found it to be worth it!
 
I now teach regular classes & find it most rewarding that I can show others how to save and spend their money wisely.  My greatest joy comes through showing people and families how they can creatively donate to those in need though this amazing haul you get when you coupon! Extra cereal, diapers and even beauty products … the list is long when I’ve been able to give from the stockpile which is continually overflowing from my pantry! 
 
I’ve truly enjoyed discovering the best deals and the secrets to the stores ads and promotions. It’s like a treasure hunt every week!
 
 
My most successful shopping trip: 
$1800 worth of items – I paid $250!
 
My most rewarding memory: 
Loading up my mother with 45 pounds of goodies from my overflowing pantry just because! I could have done more, but she was flying home!
My Favorite Giving Moments:
-Donating Boxes of Food for Thanksgiving and Christmas to multiple families-and still saying within my budget for my own household!!!
-When my kids’ friends come over and ‘shop’ from my cupboards while knowing that I have more than enough for them and my family!
-Many times I have bought items that were great deals-even though I did not need them- and later find out it is someone’s favorite brand, or that someone needed the items and I had them already.
