About Me:

My name is Jen and I’m a stay-at-home mom married to an amazing guy, Ben, and we have 2 sweet, energetic little girls – Madalyn who’s 4 & Olivia who’s 20 months old!  I am a woman who loves Jesus  & my faith is the most important part of my life & my family’s life. We are active in our church & am also on the Steering Committee for our Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) group.

We live in Pierce County, Washington. After spending my childhood years as a Navy “brat”, living on both coasts & in between,  I can honestly say that Northwest is without  a doubt my favorite place & I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful area!  My husband and I have a love for travel & exploring – whether it be going to the mountains, the beach or the city!  So, I’m always on the lookout for fun, family-friendly activities in the Northwest – for those on a budget, just  like we are!

I decided to start this website in January 2009, just as a way to share with my family & friends about my newfound love of couponing & also to pass along any great deals & bargains that I’d run across. I had no idea it would grow this much – but friends kept passing my website onto their friends & here we are today with an active community of frugal shoppers at Thrifty NW Mom!

Hi Jen,
I found your website by accident and I ended up purchasing not 1 but 2 orders of your daily deal for Sept. 22, the Erin Condren Gift Tags $25 for $12. Am I eligible for the $5.00 off my first order. I have also posted on my Facebook your web site and invited my friends to join also! I’ll be sure to be promoting this wonderful site so that they can find great savings too!
Sincerely,
Laura Kress

Jennifer it is time for The Encore Shoppe of Mount Vernon to put out a 1/2 price coupon. Would you be willing to publish it on your wed-site.
We talked a month or so ago and would still love to have you come up for a visit to the store. We have around 8 thousand consignment items in the store. From shoes, purses, hats, scarves, jewelry and all kinds of clothing we have a packed store. Please visit our Facebook page at “The Encore Shoppe”. Our 1/2 price coupon is in myhometownvalues.com. http://www.myhometownvalues.com/website/view_coupon.php?coupon=33679
Thanks for your time
Sandy

I totally love this site. Yesterday I used the Victoria’s Secret coupon to get my free lace back thong.

Hi – I just stumbled on this site… I’m in Pierce county too and just got started with the coupon deal after watching extreme couponing… My husband didn’t believe it could happen but I told him and now he is hooked! So we are retired military and going to school now so we want to try to save as much money as possible.
Thanks for having this site! PS – we love God too!
