I’m so (sooooooo!) excited to show you all the “new & improved” version of Passionate Penny Pincher!  Just like I love fluffing up things in my own home, I’m absolutely thrilled to finally up-do my online home too. I love sharing deals with you each day, but have been hoping for a prettier place to hang out at for ages, and am tickled that it’s finally here.

My friend Cheryl (who happens to live right down the street and has a little girl close to the same age as my youngest) owns Beyer By Design and did an incredible job updating everything.  (Seriously, she was amazing.)  Our hope is that we’ll continue to make PPP more user friendly for you, as well as a place you’ll want to visit (often!) to catch up on all the deals.

Over the next few days as we’re getting the kinks worked out please be patient with us me! – I have a ton to finish up here but also need to be a mom to my cute kiddos during this crazy busy time of year. (I know y’all understand!)

If you’re new around here, read more about the mission of Passionate Penny Pincher and why we on earth we do what we do over HERE.  You can also check out some delicious recipes, print a few coupons, find a some inexpensive ways to fluff up your own home, or check out this week’s best finds on Amazon.

And, if you have a friend who might like to pinch a few extra pennies, we’d love for you to invite them to join us on Facebook or subscribe to our free daily emails. (Don’t forget, just by subscribing via email you’re entered every month to win a $50 gift card to your store of choice!)

I’m so thankful to each of you who stop by Passionate Penny Pincher to read each day ~ you really make my job so much fun and I just love interacting with you all. Thank you so much for reading, and let us know what you think!

Amazon has their Back To Basics Apple And Potato Peeler for just $11.58 right now (regularly priced at $39.99), plus get free super saver shipping!  If you’ve never used an apple peeler before, oh my goodness, you don’t know what you’ve been missing (seriously.)  And, it also works on potatoes . . . I can’t believe that never occurred to me before!  I actually bought this exact one back in 2011, and paid $20 for it, so this is such a good deal.

If you’re in the market for an apple/potato peeler, I’d highly recommend one like the Back to Basics peeler because it suctions to your countertop, rather than clamping down on it.  (I actually have the old-fashioned clamp kind, and it worries me that it’s ruining my counter tops!)

Here are a few of my favorite apple recipes that I use mine for ~

• Southern Living Chunky Apple Cake
• Skillet Apple Pie 
• Apple Brownies with Brown Sugar Frosting

Thanks, Coupon Cravings!  Check out all the top deals at Amazon over HERE.
