WOW - my first ever Blog post!
My name's Angela, and I'm wife of Adam, and Mum to 1 very beautiful 17 month old daughter Lara. We live in a country town of around 10,000 residents 3hrs drive west of Melbourne.
Being a stay-at-home-Mum is great, but I'm sure a lot of most people would agree with me when I say that it's not very financially rewarding. We get no support from the government because I choose not to work.
This is why I'm a bit of a savvy shopper. Well that's what I like to call it. Other names according to the Roget's Thesaurus would be "Scrooge", "cheapskate", "penny pincher", "tightwad", or even "skinflint".
It's not that we're poor - we're middle class. I just like to stretch the money as far as possible. I want to be able to give my child as much as I possibly can.
I do this by:
- researching online (even if buying in an actual store)
- asking for better prices
- asking for free shipping
- looking for promo codes
- doing product reviews to get money off my next order
- joining up to newsletters
I'm going to start keeping a record of my major, and occasionally minor good deals I find for everyone to keep a track of.
My next post will be a few purchases my husband & I have made online in the past few months. Thanks for reading - I hope you stick around to see stuff that I buy.
