Saving Dollars & Sense

Helping you change the way you save!


Looking for something?

Start Here

First I want to thank you so much for visiting Saving Dollars and Sense!

My name is Kristie, 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.

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.

Come say hi to me on social:

Instagram post 2193038191431022868_4768974 What are your favorite kind of Christmas cookies?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I love spending an entire day just listening to Christmas music and baking up all kind of deliciousness during the holidays. It is one of the things I look forward to most this time of year. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I am spending some time today coming up with my baking plan, which will include all of the things I want to make this year and all of the ingredients I will need to do so.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Then I will keep this list in my purse so I always have it on hand to look at when I stop at a store that might have something on my list. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can find such great deals on baking supplies at the grocery stores this year, so it is a great time to stock up on your baking essentials for the next 6 - 12 months. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I am so glad I learned to shop the sales this way, that way I wasn't paying full price for the same thing a month later. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you do this too?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ OH!! Don't forget to grab the Cookie Recipe Book that I am giving away to anyone that wants a copy. The link is in my bio, or comment below and I can send it to you directly.

Instagram post 2190026987661677894_4768974 #ad I am loving my new @OralB GENIUS Pro 8000 Rechargeable Toothbrush. The brush is equipped with Position Detection Technology to showcase the areas I missed, to ensure I never miss a zone again! I have to say it is a fun challenge trying to get a 100% score, so far I am doing pretty good at 97%...but I am not giving up until I get a perfect 100%!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It also monitors how hard you are brushing with the visible pressure sensor, which is super important to me. TODAY ONLY, there is a really great Cyber Monday sale for this brush over at @Target today! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you are interested in learning more, I’ll share the link in my bio for you. I seriously never thought I would say it, but I cannot imagine ever going back to a manual toothbrush again, my teeth feel like I just left the dentist every time I use this. ⁠⠀
Instagram post 2188021891289945905_4768974 I was up early this morning searching for all of the best Black Friday deal online. I love being able to shop in my pajamas while I enjoy leftover pie with my coffee. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ No crazy crowds for me. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Are you finding any great deals today?
