Hello everyone, I am The Happy Housewife, but people who know me call me Toni. If you are not familiar with my blog, I write about saving money, raising kids, homeschooling, healthy cooking, and military life. Every other Thursday I join the Grocery Gathering by posting Commissary Sales. I recently started a program to send expired coupons to our military families overseas. If you are interested in participating you can find out more on my blog.
I have been married for almost 15 years and have six kids ages 2 to 13. We have been homeschooling since 2000. Last year we read Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey and decided to get gazelle intense and get rid of all of our debt. We paid off nearly $11,000 in 4 months. I was so excited about our accomplishment I decided to start a blog in hopes to help others reach similar goals.
The tagline of my blog is “thriving on one income in a two income world.” I really believe this to be true. I think of frugality as a lifestyle, not something to be dreaded or practiced for a short period of time until goals are met. I like to find alternative uses for household items in order to save money and reduce waste. I am an avid garage sale and thrift store shopper and have been known to dumpster dive a time or two.
I have started a garden and I usually post on Tuesdays about my gardening adventure. On Fridays I share a sewing project made from recycled fabric.
As far as grocery shopping goes we try to eat as many whole foods as possible. I shop almost exclusively at the Commissary and pick up toiletries and diapers at CVS. This week, I veered off course and bought lots of cereal because the price was right. It wasn’t my best week for saving money, but I am under budget, so I am happy, of course.
