About Me

I'm a Utah mom, just trying to make ends meet. Several years ago, I was introduced to a new way of couponing. I've been addicted ever since. I have a hard time paying full price for anything anymore.

I love couponing so much, I decided to become a teacher for Grocery Smarts.

I teach free classes and show you how to get everything you need at the grocery store and still leave $$$ in your pocket. I'll also teach you the best ways to get and organize your coupons. The best part of the class is when I show you how to match your current coupons up with the current local sales - getting the most bang for your buck!

Pumpkin Seed Recipes

Happy Halloween! I've roasted pumpkin seeds in the past, but I haven't done it in a while. I decided I wanted to try it again this year - so my search for tasty recipes began. I haven't done any roasting yet, but wanted to post some recipes that sounded pretty good.
