If this is your very first time visiting, I want to say thank you so much for taking the time to do so!
I know that we are all very busy and it means so much to me that you would choose to take time out of your day to stop by.
I hope that you found something useful and that you will come back again as I post many useful things every single day!
My name is Kristie and I began a journey years ago to get free from debt, many have decided to join me on their own journey’s and that is how this site was born.
You can read more about me here.
I realize that there is a lot to take in here and it can become a little overwhelming, especially if this is your first time visiting.
So I wanted to put together this page to help you find your way through all the great information there is to find here and make the most of the site.
Saving Dollars and Sense Road Map
It has always been my desire to help others navigate their way on their own frugal journey to find financial freedom, I share more about my personal Story of Grace here.
Please keep in mind that I am learning as I go along with you, I have not “arrived” but I have learned a few things that work as well as many that don’t in my journey.
We are all on our own unique journeys, so not everything I share here will work for you. So take what does work for you and use it, but please don’t feel burdened to follow every single thing if it doesn’t work for your family.

This is a great way for you to do your own grocery match ups. If there are any coupons you are looking for, this is the best way to search.
Just type in the product you are looking for and it will show you every coupon available in newspapers or online. You can find the Grocery Coupon Database here.
I also have a searchable online coupon code database that allows you to type in your favorite store and it will then show you all the current coupon codes available to help you save even more! You can find the Online Coupon Code database here.
Recipes
I love trying out new recipes and try to share a new one each day or as often as possible. These are the recipes my family approves of and I find it to be easy and budget-friendly.
A few of our favorites are The Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies, Homemade Shamrock Shake, and Sand Pudding.
Healthy Living Updates
I am on a journey to take control of my health after dealing with such a crazy year of doctor’s appointments and surgeries.
I am not out of the woods yet, so I have begun changing my diet, exercising regularly and incorporating a regular regime of Essential Oils.
I will often post updates here about how all of this is working for me, and have recently begun a series titled Essential Oils 101 and I am looking forward to learning more and sharing what I learn with you!
Homeschooling Helps
We are a homeschooling family, so I love to share educational freebies and the homeschool tips I’ve picked such as How to Avoid Homeschool Pitfalls up over the years.
We have already graduated our daughter and are finishing up with our son who is currently in high school which is why I say Don’t Homeschool Your Child.
I also share the best educational freebies including this list of FREE Summer Reading Programs for Kids and the Good Report Card Freebies List!
