About Me
My name is Amber and I am a stay at home/work from home mom. Gary is my wonderful and supportive husband of almost 18 years and we are blessed with two daughters Emeri (16) and Jonah (13).
I am saved by the grace of God and I am on a constant journey to know him more intimately.
I have a lot of family that live close and I get to spend time with them often including my Mom, Stepdad, 2 Sisters and their husbands and my 7 nieces and nephews who I love so much.
Growing up my Mom was always so smart with the money that we had however for whatever reason that didn’t spill over onto me. My husband and I made many mistakes in the first 13 or so years of our marriage moneywise. This included frivolous purchases, credits cards and more. Then just a little over 3 years ago I came across a couple websites about saving money.
It was the summer of 2008 and somehow I stumbled across MommySnacks(now Savings Lifestyle) and Money Saving Mom. I knew very little about blogs, saving money or coupons but it was definitely time to learn. I started using coupons, I started finding ways to save money on bills and I started this blog.
For me this was the beginning of getting my life/finances under control and although it has been a long journey it has definitely paid off.
As for S.I. Money Savers, it is my accountability to keep me on track with my grocery budget, it is a place where I can share my heart about giving and helping others, it’s a place to talk about coupons – freebies – simple ways to save – and hot deals, and I love posting about my family.
Thank you for visiting!

Andrea, I have emailed you.
this was a great weekend. Between Walgreens and Publix, I spent $92 OOP, but got about $200 worth of eiecorrgs and toiletries.At walgreens I got, – 4 herbal essence shampoos/conditioners on sale @$2.99/each. used $1/1 coupon each, and received $2 RR each. – 1 Vaseline sheer infusion lotion @$6.99, used $1.50 coupon, received $7 RR (money maker!). – 2 necco candies @ $0.22 each (I needed fillers)Over 4 separate transactions, I spent a total of $9.30 OOP and walked out with $9 in RR, which I then used at Publix. Thanks to great coupons to pair with all the deals at publix, plus a $5/25 CVS coupon, plus $10 rebate card I received this week, and the $9 in Walgreens RR, I spent $83 OOP for $187 worth of eiecorrgs (I’m shopping for a family of 5 and a small in-home daycare – man 4 gallons of milk EVERY week does not help our bill!)The husband can’t believe I saved more than I spent (even though this is not the first time I’ve done so)! Thanks for your help (and the Sabra coupon – I got 3 of those – that stuff is YUMMY!)-Sharon
Awesome Sharon!
