My name is Nikki. I am a stay-at-home mom to a vivacious
18-month-old son. I love to shop and save as much as possible! My frugal journey started my first month out of college. My husband and I were learning to juggle a house payment, bills, and student loans among many other things. I began searching for ways to save a buck and stumbled upon coupons. In my first trip to a local drug store I left with two bags full of items and only paid tax! Ever since then I have been hooked on frugal living. When my son was born I decided to stay home with him which cut our household income in half. Coupons allowed me to transition into my role at home easily, already living on less. Having a household grocery budget of $50 a week (including diapers!), I manage to feed my family well, and have grown a stockpile of hundreds of items. I now have a passion for saving and teaching others ways to stretch their dollars. I often blog about family, food, my faith, and (of course) couponing at www.livinglifeofriley.com!
