About

Welcome to Thrifty and Thriving! I am Christy, a stay at home Mom to my five children in Washington state. I think it is important to live a frugal, debt free, and generous life. I love how shopping with coupons allows our family to get more for so much less. You will find weekly coupon match-ups here at Thrifty and Thriving, that will help you plan your weekly shopping trips and get lots of items for super cheap and even FREE.

I will also post super deals that will help you get the most for your money. I find that when I buy things when they are on sale, instead of when I need them, it saves our family even more money. For example, I always buy my kids clothing ahead of time during the “off season”, when they are on clearance for 75% off or more. This saves us tons of money!

I will also be sharing frugal recipes, thrifty tips, and lots of other things that will help you live smarter so you can have a richer life. I am glad you stopped by and look forward to sharing this frugal journey together.

Please read my disclosure policy.

Hey girlfriend, I love the new site! It looks beautiful. I tried to put your new button up, but something’s off on the code. Is it just me? Congratulations, this looks just amazing! Much success to you!

Thanks so much Erin! I just added the code onto my personal blog, and I didn’t have a problem. When you get a chance, maybe you can try it again. Hopefully it works.

Which part of Wa do you live? I have friends in the Snohomish area that need some deals on food and I’m not to familiar with that area for good buys. Thanks! I love your site!

Hey Christy,
Just thinking, if you ever find a gluten free item in your couponsing, or maybe an idea to help coupon with a gluten allergy, I would LOVE it. We are now spending so much more on groceries than ever before.

Dianne May 16, 2011 at 5:09 pm

Hi.
I have a question. I hope you can help me. If a coupon says “any two”, can I buy just one and still be able to apply the coupon?

Thanks

I have to tell you….as much as I love getting all of the deal you send to save me money, I turn around and spend it on these wonderful crafts you keep sending us! :) I am totally inspired by your craftiness, and look forward to making these super cute magnets for holiday gifts. Thank you!

I m so jealous I never able to grab any thing cheap!

can u help?

I’ve been having really bad experience lately with Target. This one short hair blonde lady at Federal Way, so obviously, has something against me, she always come to the register where i am and check out all my transaction and all the coupons i have. I follow exactly when you guys post deals for Target. For example: i was trying to purchase the Market Pantry Chicken Burrito $0.89 using $1/1 Target Market Pantry coupon for chicken item. I know lots of people did this deal. So I went yesterday, when i got to the register, here’s this lady came to my cashier and told me that i cannot use the coupon because the picture doesn’t match. Seriously? I should have ask these couple couponers i met at frozen section, they also grab the MP chicken burrito and have the coupons in their binder. I hope they have better luck than me. Now i started to like Walmart better.
