About

Hi, I'm Erin.

For the past 17 years I've been lucky enough to make my living as a frugal living expert.

That basically means I get to spend my days writing, developing recipes and playing mad scientist.

My husband, Aaron, quit his job in 2013 to come work with me, so now we're both home with our kids full-time. And we think that's a pretty cool thing. Our business has grown over the years to include a product line and shop, but our goal is the same as when we started.

We want to show people that living frugally doesn't have to mean doing without.

We eat well, dress well and have lots of fun; and we do it for far less than anyone would expect. Just check out our Christmas Under $100 challenge, and you'll start to see what I mean.

And because we think saving time is just as important as saving money, you'll only find simple, tried-and-true recipes and projects on this website. We want frugal livng to make your life easier - not harder. So, have a look around and let us know, if you have any questions.
