Welcome to Passionate Penny Pincher! I’m Laurie, a stay-at-home mom to three kiddos, ages 4, 8 and 11, and have been married to my husband James for fifteen years. I became a “passionate” penny pincher about six years ago when I started using coupons, and have been amazed at its impact on our budget and our ability to give to others.
I started blogging on a whim in the fall of 2009, after reading tons of amazing money saving sites over the last few years. In September my father-in-law contracted West Nile Encephalitis, and I spent many sleepless nights reading blogs while my husband was away taking care of his Dad. The one thing that I didn’t see promoted often on many sites was a push for donations of really cheap and free items, as well as menu planning based on weekly sale ads. So, Publix Penny Pincher (now Passionate Penny Pincher) was born!
What excites me most about this site is that one half of any proceeds from this site go directly towards mission work. Currently we are helping support the Tatum Family, missionaries from our church who have recently opened an orphanage in Costa Rica. So, any time you print coupons from Coupons.com, Red Plum, or Coupon Networks on Passionate Penny Pincher, you’re also supporting the work of missionaries in other countries.
Okay, real quickly, here’s a little about me. I love chocolate, I hate grouchy people, my kids drive me crazy (but are so stinkin’ cute), and I’m married to a fabulous guy who puts up with me and makes me laugh. Coupons make me happy, I talk way too much, and sitting on my front porch with a brand new issue of Southern Living is my idea of a vacation.
Other people may think our family is a little over the top when it comes to frugality, but the truth is our penny pinching allows us to give more, save more, and live an abundantly blessed life.
