Mummy Deals ™: About

Originally from England, when I arrived in America I was amazed at all the money saving my mother-in- law did and over the years I've become a semi-expert. Last year I bought diapers at Walgreens for 20 cents a pack and shocked my friends. It was then that I decided to help others save money by blogging about my finds. My aim is to help you save money but not consume tons of time doing it. We won't clip 25 cent coupons (unless really worth it!) but we will learn all about how to save big so we can bless others and have more money for fun stuff (READ: shoes!!)

If by now you're daunted, or think you've entered some crazy couponing website, that's not the case! A lot of what I do is about getting FREE stuff! I do this so that I can help you cut your grocery bills and live on less. My tips are simple to use and easy to follow. Consider this:

Through doing rebate programs I haven't paid for toiletries in 8 years! Even while we were away in Thailand for 3 years my mother in law would get the FREEBIES for us and send them out when someone came out to avoid postage!
Our family of 3 lives on $50/week for groceries and I guarantee you that by using my tips you'll start to cut your bill too!
My husband works but I'm a stay at home Mum and we live on one income.

Each week I cover the best deals and bargains I find on the internet as well as ways to save money, ideas on how to make a little money and fun things that I think you may enjoy. I show you how to save money by matching coupons each week for these stores:

Target. Did you know you can get FREE things from Target??! It's true!
Walgreens. Soon you'll have a stockpile of FREE shampoo!
CVS. More FREE toiletries.
Meijer. Combining coupons got me FREE taco shells and Jello at Meijer once.
Jewel. FREE Breyer's ice-cream and organic pasta sauce from there once.
Strack & Van Til's. Peanut butter is best when it's FREE right?!
Ultra. Cheap. All. The. Time.
Menards. Tons of FREE tools each year from this hardware store.
Kroger

Each Tuesday there's usually a giveaway and a Frugal Meal (meal for 4 for under $5). On Thursdays my Mum sends an English recipe for us to enjoy.
