About Me

I am a happily "sometimes" married mother of 3 boys. One in college and two in high school. I married my high school sweetheart after almost 13 yrs. apart. I have been called the thrift store queen and Martha Stewart and all that that implies. I love to cook and bargain shop. I too see treasure in someone Else's trash. Nothing gets me more excited when driving down the road and my eye catches a yard sale or when I pull up in front of my favorite thrift store. I spend hours rambling through "Junk" I am not a frilly girlie, girlie...who can when you leave with 4 men....so not one room in my house does not have something that came from a thrift store or an antique shop or yard sale. I go into speciality shop and head straight for the clearance. I refuse to pay top dollar for anything! My youngest son hates to shop with my because if something has a scratch or dent I will ask for half price off. You will not believe that most of the time I will get it for at least 20% off. I always say it doesn't hurt to ask. Can you say frugal? I guess you could say its a hobby of mine.... Yes I do have a full time job to support my habit but my wonderful hubby never complains because he appreciates the money that I save.
