FREE HOME PLANNER
SAMPLE!
I'm writing this post only for those seven of you who actually read PPP regularly. Maybe eight. Whoever you are, you're my favorite❤️ and I'm so crazy thankful for you. Thank you for taking the time to read PPP today and every day.
Ten years ago I had this crazy idea to start a blog. My kids were little (my youngest was two), and I knew it wouldn't be too long before she'd be off at school and I'd be bored out of my mind at home. (Hmph.)
Honestly? Money was tight in our home and I dreamed of coming up with a job that would let me work from home. I had no skills at all (I'd only worked in youth ministry prior to having kids), but I could type really fast. (And was a little addicted to buying groceries as cheaply as I possibly could for our family, plus making meals for next to nothing with whatever we had on hand.) 🙂
(Us way back in 2010 when I'd just started blogging. My kids were babies!)
So when I read a blog post about making money blogging, I decided to give it a shot. The whole concept of blogging sounded so self-absorbed to me, but frugal blogging seemed like it might actually help a few folks. (Rather than just blogging for the sake of writing about myself, I could share deals and things that I found at the store and hopefully encourage others .)
I blogged for a solid month without telling anyone what I was doing because I knew I'd never stick with it.
I finally sent my little list of deals to my only seven frugal friends.
I stayed up all night researching how to hyperlink an item in a post. (That means doing this instead of this https://passionatepennypincher.com/welcome/ . It took this never-had-a-real-job-momma 3 weeks to learn how to do that. Ridiculous.)
And I started to watch what people did if they ever did manage to land on my little blog.
In fact, I compulsively watched. Way back in 2009 and 2010 when I was beginning I didn't know how to use google analytics (which is super fun, and what I use now to watch what readers are interested in), but there was this thing called Sitemeter that allowed me to see how much blog traffic we were getting each day.
I'd open it every hour on the hour.
Got depressed when no one visited PPP (publixpennypincher way back then.)
And watched closely to see if anyone did ever click, exactly what they were clicking on.
I learned so much.
I learned that regular girls like me had to make easy meals and that crockpots were their favorites too.
I learned that people liked when I talked about cleaning our homes or fluffing our spaces with frugal DIY ideas.
And I learned that busy moms really really really liked easy deals on Amazon. (They weren't alone. I sure like those too!)
So I kept typing.
Eventually I was able to hire some seriously amazing ladies to help me run the site as it became way more than I could manage on my own. We grew the PPP Facebook page and email list, as well as blog traffic incredibly slowly but also consistently every single year.
(From top left circling around ~ this is Cheryl, Cheree, Amber, Misty, Staci, Andrea, Shannon, Nicole, Hannah, Laurie & Jamie. They're each a crazy gift to me, and below in the pic you can see we've added Ashley and Lori too when shipping turned into craziness over here!)
I started doing Facebook Live shortly after Facebook rolled it out even though I seriously hated it (because I knew it was the only way to “meet” people on this crazy internet!)
I typed like crazy and constantly thought of ways to grow traffic, because I decided that if I was going to take time away from my family to work (even if it was working from home!) I'd better do my job well enough that it was worth my time online each day.
In the meantime, life changed way too fast for our family just like I'm betting it did for you too. We lost my father-in-law (who was inadvertently one of the reasons I started PPP), made a big (um, HARD!) move, prayed for and raised these cute kids, survived a pretty big family crisis, sent our oldest off to college, and paid off our home.
(WHEW).
And then.
2019 hit.
WOWZA.
I'd had this little idea for a “checklist” in the back of my head, but I had no idea how to make it happen as a physical product. For ten years I'd sold other people's products through Amazon or affiliates (I've probably sold more Charmin, Tide, and Instant Pots than any store in your hometown. Yikes.) But I'd never dreamed of selling my own thing, because I honestly didn't think anyone would ever want to buy whatever I came up with to sell.
But a friend hopped on board and pushed me wayyyyyy out of my comfort zone to create this crazy thing, and oh my word . . .
y'all were (thankfully!) all in.
In January of 2019 we sold 6400 of my first little idea (1700 physical checklists as that was all we ordered ~ the rest sold as digital PDF downloads). That's when I realized this little crazy idea might be more than just a silly idea, and that people might want to jump on board with me in this craziness.
Fast forward a few weeks.
After seeing the success of our little home checklist, I started dreaming of ways that we could make menu planning a little less stressful for families. I realized that most people who ordered things through PPP were ordering real products (not PDF downloads of things), and thought that just maybe they'd like an easy system for their menu planning.
So last March in April when I met up with the entire PPP team in Nashville, I told them alllll about my crazy little next idea. (I'm pretty sure they all thought I was nuts). But they let me chatter away, and thank goodness did so much work behind the scenes to help my newest little idea actually happen.
In late September we launched our little Magic Menu Planning Tin (it's really called Menu Planning Made Easy, but Magic Menu Planning Tin sounds a wee bit more fun). 🙂 My goal was to sell 3,000 of those in 2019, and then just store the rest in a local storage facility until they sold, (hopefully), in 2020.
Welp, on Monday of this week we sold out of every single one of them. (ALL TEN THOUSAND OF THEM. WHEW.)
Just behind that we launched the 2020 Home Planner (which turned into way more than our original checklist – it includes calendars and everything!) and we sold so many in the launch back in September that we ordered an additional 5,000. As of this minute, only 1,000 of all 15,000 physical planners are left (when these are gone they're gone – and we won't order any more until the new 2021 planners come out. Seriously it's just crazy to me!)
In 3 months we have sold, packed, and shipped 25,000 physical products (as well as quite a few less expensive digital products too.)
I.
can't.
EVEN.
Here's the thing though . . . I never-ever-never dreamed this would happen. (Like for real – my wildest dreams would never quite have dreamed this big!)
And none of this could have happened if my husband and I hadn't started twenty-three years ago determining to always live on one income. Even as PPP continued to earn a little more each year, all of our income was put into a separate account so that we could donate to missionaries, save for our kids college funds, and cash flow any PPP projects that ever came up. (We've spent more than our first home on shipping alone this year, and there's no way on earth I could have done that if we hadn't had the cash on hand to do that!)
We could never-ever-never have done that with true financial peace and freedom if we hadn't set out from day one to really monitor our finances. We don't wear fancy clothes, drive fancy cars, or spend much at all on fancy groceries.
(We do vacation really really well these days as our one big splurge. Worth every penny and all the work it has taken each time!)
Because of the crazy growth of PPP over the last few years, we've been able to also donate abundantly to local and overseas mission work ~ that's truly been the most fun gift ever . . . you have no idea what a blessing that's been for me and our family!
But what has blown me away by far is the way folks have been blessed by these little products from that side of the screen. I never ever wanted to sell you something just to sell you something.
I wanted to sell you something that truly just might bless you and your family.
And good gravy. The reviews on the magic recipe tin 🙂 and home planner have been ridiculously happy. (I'm truly not just saying this – y'all have blown me away with your sweet-happy-thankful-notes!)
The private Facebook communities that have come from these products have been amazing, and I feel like my soul is simply refreshed after meeting you in each one every day.
I am so thankful for you.
So, thank you for supporting PPP and this crazy mom's big ideas in 2019 and truly for the entire last decade. Even if you haven't bought or considered purchasing any of the PPP products at all, I'm just thankful you taking time to hang out here every once in awhile and read.
I hope that this site and the work we do here has blessed you a little bit in the last ten years, and continues to encourage you throughout 2020 too. I'm so thankful for you taking the time to read every single day, and know there are lots of other places you could be each day. So I'm just humbled that you took the time to stop by here along the way.
Most of all though, I encourage you . . . no matter what season of life you're in, that it's never–ever-never too late to dream big. I'm praying that you also see some kind of wild-and-crazy-success in 2020 that you never imagined could happen before, because if it can happen to this mess of a momma, I have no doubt it can happen for you too.
Cheering for you this 2020 ~ praying God's peace over your year, as well as renewed excitement and energy over whatever this next year (and decade!) brings.
Hugs sweet PPP reader ~ goodness I'm so thankful for you!
Laurie
P.S. I don't honestly even know why I'm sharing all this with you ~ probably just because this is my little corner of the internet, and one day I think my kids might enjoy reading the story of how we landed where we did! So here it is kids. Thanks to anyone else for reading too. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
You are all amazing. I work from home and appreciate all of your posts. I am a single mom and keeping up with my two sons. Thank heavens for PPP. I hate to shop in stores because I am just too busy. Loved all of your new products and I have bought them all. Thanks for telling your story.
I love to read your stuff.i did down load your stuff.but as everything else.didnt put where it needed to go. I should of got hard copy lol silly me.!! BUT the short time I did read I learned to save and for that I thank you so much.
I love your story!!! Congrats on great success and THANKS A MILLION for making life alittle more less crazy! ((((Hugs))))
What a fabulous story of success! You have certainly been an inspiration to me with your continual words of encouragement. You exhibit self-discipline and diligence and somehow make doing the hard chores of life much easier, Your checklists are amazing! Thank you for all you do every day. May you and your family continue to reap the blessings of your labor.
You stepped out on Faith . So many of us are glad and being blessed that you did. Thanks for all that you share unselfishly
Gods blessings to you!!!! ❤️ I enjoyed your story. It was inspiring. I’m a stay at home mom of a teen. I struggle with self esteem and motivation. Then reading stories like this makes a person have even a small glimmer of hope. Reminding me to JUST TRY, in all things. Maybe not a blog, but to try even a small motivation that I’ve struggled with. I WISH and pray often for being a better wife, mom and caretaker of our household. Especially in the cooking area. Fail fail fail. 2020 I’m going to really focus on yours and other pages to help better my life. Thank you for starting this blog and all the inspiration you give. Many blessings for you, your family and followers for 2020.
Thank you so much for such great inspiration! And I love the tools that you have provided. My 3 and 6 year old are doing their chores every day. I feel like breaking it down daily helps me feel less overwhelmed and I am finding time to be in the word and even a few minutes for myself. 2020 will be amazing and I cannot thank you enough for the help!
Thank you for the inspiration.
You are such a blessing! Prayers for you and your family in 2020 that God heaps His richest blessings on your life! Much love from Alabaster, Alabama
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story. You give us all inspiration to move forward with ideas. Happy New Year!!
I have enjoyed reading your story. I look forward to your posts and have used a lot of your ideas
Thank you so much Laurie. I enjoy your blogs and everything that you post. Keep writing!!! Stay strong!!! Stay positive!!!!
This is a beautiful story! I love to read stories about people who love to bless others, and then are also greatly blessed by God. Thank you for your willingness to step out of your comfort zone and bless so many people!
Happy New Year!

I didn’t realize I was with you from the start of the list. I’m trying to remember how I found it, I’m thinking it must have come up on Facebook. You want to know why you are successful? Because you are authentic. Please don’t ever lose that awesome authentic person that you share with us.
My goal for 2020 is to try to get my husband to lose weight without him knowing it! He is so overweight and our trip to Disneyland really showed it to me as his back hurt considerably walking around the park. I’m also trying to get myself as organized as I can before I age too much more! God Bless you, your family and our group!
Thank you for your intentional devotion to helping others! May 2020 be a great year!
I am definitely grateful for ppp ladies. This is a very beautiful from the heart letter thank you for all you do my friend. My sister gave me the recipe pdf for as a gift and I bought the planner. Couldn’t wait until January 2020 but now I’m also trying to go back to work so once I get used to hours I will be back to normal schedule at least during week since I only work on weekends. I love the reading in planner keeps me accountable God is the light we all need. Thank you for being real and doing Gods work in your family and life .
I know that I am not the eighth person to read this. Keep growing, we cannot wait to see what you are going to do next. Thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony.
Appreciate you and the PPP team. Best wishes and blessings for a successful 2020. We appreciate all your time and efforts to make our lives better. And there are more than 8 of us that read this! Trust me!!! Praying for you too PPP team!!!
YOU are truly a blessing to me! I have never enjoyed cooking and have ALWAYS felt an enormous guilt for not meeting this need for my family. I am so very thankful God is using you to help so many people & am looking forward to improving my abilities and desire in the kitchen this year – starting TODAY! Thank you so much for utilizing your many talents to help folks like me!! May God richly bless you and your family in the New Year!!
Can’t think of a nicer person, YOU!. I hope God bless you and your family beyond your wildest dreams!! You are a big blessing to all that read your post and order your wonderful things! Keep going. Thank yu for all you do.
Gloria Palmer
Love your story! Thanks for sharing with us. I bought the tin and love it, unfortunately I found out yesterday that I have Celiac disease so I now have to figure out what I really can eat. ☹️ I am not the type of person that wants to monitor my food, I like the ease and convenience of the crockpot and your Crocktober recipes. But I guess that will be my challenge for awhile. Thanks for always being so helpful and positive. You truly bless many people!
I appreciate your inspiration, ideas, and input! Blessings!
Thank you for all you do. 1 st year for me so I will try to be more organized
Happy New Year

Laurie and team. I look forward to every post, video, and product that comes from all of you. You have blessed my life by making me want to be better at budgeting, buying, and caring fir my home and family. Even though we are almost empty nesters, your principles and products help us. My husband has always done our finances and he is very good at it. But, I also want to be involved and do my part so we can do fun things with our extra money. God bless all of you and I can’t wait to see what good things 2020 has in store. Thank you.
What a blessing you are! Thank you for stepping outside your comfort zone to bring us what you do today. May God continue to rain blessings upon your family and all of Team Laurie! Happy New Year!
God is sooo Good! What a Joy you’ve been for me! Happiest of New Year Adventures!
Laurie:
You are SUCH an inspiration and blessing to so many of us!!
Thank you for all you and your team do!! I feel like this is a big sisterhood!!
Laurie and the PPP team:
Ya’ll are amazing. I see the work that you all pour into giving us savings tips, especially on black friday shopping, gifting and savings. I appreciate you all. Laurie, thank you for never giving up and for stepping out of your comfort zone. Cheers, 2020 is here. I am glad to be one of your followers on fb and the PPP website! Happy New Year!!!
Thank you for the deal notifications that you send to us even though a lot of them are already over or risen in price. I have lucked up on a few of them over the years. So thank you for that, but your personal stuff that you sell is nice but really out of my price range.
I love your post. I’m so looking forward to 2020 with the help of your planner.
Thank you Laurie for your encouraging words.
All 7 of us, ehh? Well, your humor is an added blessing❣️
I gifted the Planner to myself this year & found it so amazing I ordered right away for my intelligent, beautiful, new mommy, SAH now daughter Allayna Widlits. She is over the moon with excitement & obsessed! So I gave her my Recipe Tin, too. Anything to help her see opportunities (like you did!).
Thank you for following God’s lead.
Blessings,
Susan
I have been following you for at least 6 years. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon you, but I have to say you and the PPP ladies have been a blessing to me and my family. I have 4 children and have been a stay at home mom for 18 years. Because you have shared your skills, I have learned how to shop Kohl’s like a boss, keep my house tidy and feed my family with your tin meals. Thank you for sticking with this when no one was looking at the beginning. From one homemaker to another, I have cheered you on because you have been able to earn money for your family, while still being available for them. I hope you all great continued success!
What a great success story!
2019 brought PPP into my life at the perfect time. I am so thankful for you and hope the new year brings all of you blessings of happiness and joy! Debi Wells
Wow! What an amazing story! I think more than just a few read your blog. been following for a few years now and just thank you for all you do.
I love your story. I love your blog
All the other gracious women have voiced how we all feel. I’ll just say…we love you, Laurie, and your amazing PPP Team. ❤❤
God is so good. You are amazing! Thank you for all your hard work! I literally couldn’t wait for this week to start just so I could start using my new Home Planner…! I love it. Thank you!
I love reading your story! I occasionally read your blog way back when, usually linked through Money Saving Mom. But, I didn’t have a Publix so I never really looked to closely. Fast forward a few years, you caught my attention again, and then you moved to Ohio (I’m an Ohio girl) and I’ve been hooked ever since! Thanks for sharing! Best of luck in 2020!
I have been following you for about 7 years which is when I became a SAHM and wanted to learn how to coupon. Your genuine nature and energy is so uplifting. I love following for the deals but also your stories. I was so bummed that I had already purchased my 2020 planner before I realized you were coming out with one. I can’t wait to get the 2021 and see what other ideas you come up with as the years go on. Happy New Year!
Just simply want to say “thank you” to you, your family, and your PPP team. Many more blessings in the new year!
I’m glad to know I’m one of your top 7! !! Thank you for being someone positive and kind . I appreciate you so much and absolutely love your lives!!
I am so incredibly thankful God has allowed our paths to cross this year!!! I’m loving my magic tin and planner and even more so LOVE the community and friendships. Your life is inspiring and I’m so encouraged by you!!! You are goalz!!!!!
Looks like there are way more than 8 of us who read things you send….thank you for this and for all passionate penny pincher does. I stumbled on PPP on Facebook while looking for savings ideas two years ago at Christmas and it’s been a journey ever since! I am obsessed with both my tin and home planner. And you got me hooked on faster way which has been a huge blessing! Many cheers to you Laurie and your team. Looking forward to 2020 to see what else you dream up!
Wow. I feel inspired to try and do something on the internet to make money for my family. Love this journey.
Happy New Year! Many Blessings to you and your family!
I gifted one of the recipe tins to my son and new daughter in law for Christmas! They loved all the cards with the prayers!!
Thank you for all the hard work you put in to PPP.
God is good! He has given you a gift, and you are using it for good, my friend. I love watching your family do this together too! To God be the glory, great things He hath done!
God Bless you for following your dream and giving back all along the way! You are an inspiration to me and many more! Thank you for all you do and enjoy all the fruits of your labor!

Happy New Year to you and your family!! Thank you for all that you do to make life a little easier for us single moms. I hope this is the year I find the perfect stay at home. I have been working as a substitute teacher and absolutely love it (couldn’t be an actual teacher, like the change of scenery LOL). The only problem is it doesn’t pay well, which is why I have been searching for that perfect stay at home job, so I can continue to sub. Well enough about me. I enjoyed your story and hope your 2020 is even more special. God bless.
Thank You your blog, videos the recipe tin and planner have been wonderful you have been such a blessing to me Thank You Again & I wish You & Your Family A Blessed New Year!
So very glad I found you! I know this planner is going to make my life easier and my family happier! Happy New Year to you!

“ Que Dios te bendiga en este Nuevo 2020, Dios te duplique todo lo que toques y todos tus sueños se hagan realidad espero tu nuevo Projecto que se que está por venir.”
Thanks for the recipe tin, I just love it.
Thank you for posting this timely story. In 7/18, I was rear ended at a stop light. In 2/19 I was t-boned. I have been unable to work since. As a workaholic, I had a rough time adjusting until my kids/grandkids moved in while they had a new house built. When they moved to the new house earlier in Dec., I was having panic attacks thinking about my “new future” and trying to come up with a plan. I am not able to look down without severe pain (wrote/addressed 8 Christmas cards and ended up in bed nauseous from pain). That doesn’t leave many options. Your post gives me hope that I will find something to do. May God continue to bless you, your family and PPP in 2020.
Thank you Laurie for your post and all that you do. I’m a guy but I retired this year and thought that your products would help me be an asset to my wife. I really like your groups everyone is kind and helpful, a quality that is not present on most of the other groups I’ve joined. I think you deserve all that God has blessed you with. Thank you for doing what all you do.
My wife showed me the 2020 planner book and we did the pdf, I hope my wife will use this book like she says she will. But most of all a good clean honest site that I don’t mind clicking on things to read about and I’m just one of a very few guys who now reads your things put on here. Thankyou and Happy New Year to you ,your family and the ones who are helping you.
Really enjoy your blog happy New Year’s
Happy New Year to You and Yours!! Blessing to All!!
Love Your Blogs and Page!!
And Honestly I don’t think you Aged from 2010 Pic to Current Pic!!! Pretty!☺
Thank you for sharing! You are an inspiration to so many! I ordered 1 of everything because I feel in love with the planner when I ordered it. So far I have only made one meal at home but I just started yesterday. So, I’m one for one and will increase my usage for the remainder of the week (year)! It’s my goal and I can’t thank you enough for the everyday motivation! God Bless you and your family! Happy New Year!
Laurie, thank you so much for sharing!! I truly enjoy reading your blog and watching your videos. What an inspiration you are to so many people!!!
I read this feeling proud as any Mom would. You have put your heart and soul into EVERY thing you felt worthwhile in life … your imagination and determination have brought many rewards … some monetary which you and James decided to share … others the sense of happiness as readers felt encouraged by your ideas and decided to follow your blog.
Your success was hard earned … is well deserved … and I cannot begin to imagine what your future will bring. You are humble … that has never changed and I am certain never will … what you write is truly from the joy you feel in your heart as you bless and has you have been blessed by so many whose lives you have touched.
Mom
Thank you Laurie! I just love ya! I got the recipe tin and the planner! My house is getting more organized! Have a blessed 2020 and I’ll be following PPP.
Laurie, God is doing a work through you! You are so humble and sweet. You have given so much encouragement to me! There is something I have been wanting to do for years but never thought I could over fear of failure. I do believe God has been showing me that now is the time. And you have just hit so many points with this post! I ordered your planner (and love it!) Love that you put the daily bible reading in it. Helps everyone get in the habit of spending time with God every day. And even those who may not believe in God you have planted seeds in thier life for God to harvest. I have made lists of to dos since my kids were little as well as chore charts for the fridge. But how nice to already have it in the planner! God definatly has His hand on you!
Thank you for all you and your team do!! I have gotten countless “great deals” through your blog and have really enjoyed watching your kids grow up with mine;) You are truly a blessing to me!! I trust you… you are not looking to just make money, but really want to help families. Thanks for your kind and humble spirit! Blessings in 2020!!
Thanks for the beautiful post! And thank you for revealing the true and beautiful you – good & bad; you are willing to share it and help us all feel more “normal” when crazy life gets out of sorts. I loved meeting you years ago and still read your posts and grab great deals! Thanks!
Laurie, You are an anointed inspiration to me and so many others. I have been so blessed through the website and the emails you send and now I am obsessed reading through the Facebook posts on the private sites. So many people’s lives are changed for the better and the ones I love the most are the ones that have never read the Bible and are reading it for the first time because it’s on the checklist. PLEASE don’t ever take that off the list (I know some have already and some will complain). That simple checkbox could be the difference in whether someone accepts the free gift of salvation. What a simple and yet profound way to witness to the hearts of your followers! Keep up the good work and bask in His goodness every step of the way! God bless you!!! 🙂
Bless you. Thank you for coming up these terrific ideas. It’s changed the way I plan meals and plan my weeks.
Love your story and appreciate all you do for us. Great blog and a favorite of mine. Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!
Thank you for all your time and effort put into helping us ordinary Mama’s with our sometimes boring but usually crazy lives.
Blessings to you and your family in 2020 and l look forward to watching your “lives” as well as your posts.
Love you Laurie and your entire PPP team.
Thank you so much for your perseverance. You do a wonderful job. God Bless you
This was super encouraging to me. I found you because of the planner. I have been a loyal IWP girl for years but needed something to guide me a bit stronger. I have shared it with everyone and know a few people have ordered and a couple will be (hoping they do it soon…even on the back order). Anyhow…I just walked away from a career of 20 years Due to personal convictions and not being able to stay there and live authentically. It’s a very “what in the world are we going to do” kind of feeling. I have started a blog too and a small natural product company is in the works.
Thank You for this encouragement, and happy new year!
I’ve been a follower for a long time and have enjoyed a whole lot of tips, savings and insights from your blog. I’ve shared your info with SO many that have jumped on the PPP bandwagon. You’re an inspiration!
Hi Laurie and PPP family!
This community has become like a group of friends! Someone is always available in the group to answer a question or give a point of view, I had not thought of. I loved checklist in 2019. It changed my household. The recipe tin has been phase 2 for household change. The planner magnets (chore chart) has been a real motivator for the 12 year old grandson. With the house/family back on track we are looking forward to the 2020 blessings!
Thank you!

I really enjoy PPP. I watch the videos as much as I can. I purchased two of the 2020
Planners for me and my daughter. I am looking forward to trying to accomplish as many tasks each day together.
Keep up the great work.

Laurie,
The ideas and deals you share are amazing and I’m thankful I found your blog. But honestly I just enjoy you, doing what you do, I feel like we’re friends even if it’s only from my side of the screen and I’m just blessed by what you bring to the table. Wishing you the best in 2020.

I have watched you and your wonderful team for several years now and I love everything that you have shown us. I am so happy and proud of you for your success and I know God will continue to bless all of you in the coming years. Thank you for being a blessing to us!! ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on the success of you business. Thank you for taking time to find all the great deals and recipes for us.
Bless you and your family in 2020, you have done alot more than sell planners, through PPP Facebook group, you have somehow brought together a diverse group of mostly women and formed friends who share advice, wisdom and are there for each other. We are all blessed.
I have enjoyed as well as GREATLY benefited from your posts. I know I’ve saved hundreds of dollars (If not more!). Thank you and may you and your family be blessed in 2020!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
God bless you!
Congratulations on all of your success!! Your kids are lucky to have such an awesome roll model. Wishing you continued growth in 2020.
God Bless
Thank you and happy new year, what a blessing you have been to my kitchen and home.
Amazing and so stinking inspiring!!! Keep it up!
I got your planner for Christmas and I can’t wait to start using it! You are an amazing person! Happy New Year!
Thank you for your joy in the Lord God it is refreshing and causes me to smile. Your penchant for frugality is inspiring and sometimes causes laughter for me although you are significantly better at it than I am. Best wishes for your 2020 vision! (Wee bit of a play on words.)
When we are willing to step out of our comfort zone enough that we have to depend on God for strength, He can use us beyond our wildest dreams! May your 2020 be amazing!
Thank you. Happy Prosperous New Year. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing your story. You have accomplished so much and became an inspiration for others. May God bless you and your family. Have a wonderful 2020!!!
I love reading your blogs although I don’t do it all the time. At almost 90 years of age I look more for simple meals that cook up easily and will accommodate my insulin-dependant son. So many of your ideas have worked well for me and I will never be too old to learn something new. A great big thank you and have a blessed new year.
I am an older emptynester who has been watching you and I get so much inspiration from you. I look forward to your live broadcasts. Keep up the good work and may you and your family have a Happy and prosperous new year
Loved reading your story❤️ I also love my planner and my magic little tin You are such a beautiful light and I’m grateful for all that you do! Happy New Year!!
When you have an inspiration and have belief in God he will open doors for you. This is the gift he gave you and you shared it with everyone else. Thank you
I just started reading PPP this year. It is great. I ordered two tins and a planner. I love them. Thank you for all you do to help us with so many things.
You are such an inspiration to me and I bet everyone else on your Facebook and to the ones that knkw you. Thank you Laurie❤
I’ve followed you for a few years now. It’s always fun watching your videos. Yours and all of your helpers. I was always a penny pincher from way back when so it was nice to find others that share that same passion for saving money where ever you can.
Love all of crock tober recipes. Menu planning has never been my thing. Just keep doing what you do. Love seeing your post!
I’m right there with you. I learned to pinch pennies from my mother. Some times I do good- sometimes not so good. Watching you and your videos plus getting the tips that you and your team put out has saved me a lot of money since I found you on FB. Sometimes it’s like a game to see how much I can save be it at the grocery or online shopping. I can’t say thank you enough for all that you do . There are many of us who watch our funds to prepare for retirement and you are a huge help and inspiration. Wishing you all the best for 2020.
Happy new year thank you so much for helping so many
Thank you so much Pat – Happy New Year to you too!
Read this. I have followed you for a few years now. Can’t afford to buy any of your things but still think your doing a great job.
I wish I was in a position to enjoy your product but I am not married or have kids and am partially disabled so someone else handles the house.
And I no longer order anything that recorders automatically. Been burned that way.
However I appreciate the ideas in your blog.
Praise God!
He’s been so crazy generous with us – it is so humbling every day!
Read this blog and enjoyed your story very Mich. I pray prosperity follows you this year of 2020 as well. Blessings to you and family …
Hugs Mina – thank you so much for your kind words!
Just discovered you! Got the digital copy of your planner bc I worried if I waited to get one in a few weeks I wouldn’t use it. Two days in and I am addicted. Thank you.
I am just getting started with PPP and love all that you do.
I am inspired to dream BIG for 2020.
Thanks for being an influential part of that inspiration.
