Today’s Thrifty Chatter features the fabulous Jaime (or, as you may know her, Money Savin’ Momma) from Engineer A Debt Free Life. Jaime and her husband both write for the blog, giving it a fresh take – after all, there aren’t too many male frugal bloggers! – and a fun personality. You can tell just by reading it how excited they are about making the most of their money… and helping you do so with yours! Enjoy the interview!
How did you start Engineer A Debt Free Life?
My husband started the site as a way to keep us accountable for our spending and to share great freebies / deals. I started blogging on Engineer a Debt Free Life (EADFL) about 6 months later.
What has been the most rewarding part of writing on EADFL?
Sharing freebies, deals, and legitimate ways to make money online with our awesome readers! We’ve heard from many readers who been able to have “special date nights” or even get all their holiday gifts for free, as a result of the deals and income earning ideas we share on our site! It’s very rewarding to know we are making a difference in the lives of our readers and helping them save money!
Do you have a funny or interesting story about something that has happened because of your blog?
We post lots of freebies on our site, so we sometimes get people who leave comments with their full name and mailing address, because apparently they think we are the ones who are mailing the freebies directly to them!
How have you used ShopAtHome.com to save money, and what is your favorite store to shop from when you use ShopAtHome.com?
Before making an online purchase, I always check to see if cash back is available through ShopAtHome! Our favorite store to shop at is Target – ShopAtHome offers a great cash back rate and coupons for Target, including lots of special promotions when Cash Back is increased for Target! It’s great to be able to get cash back on online purchases we would have made anyway!
What do you think is the best deal you’ve ever found?
Wow, there is no way to name just one! We are *always* finding freebies and deals on something new!
If you could only give one piece of advice to someone who is just starting to coupon and save their money, what would it be?
Track your spending! Start by creating a monthly budget and stick to it! Track every single purchase you make, no matter how big or small, to see where your money is really going each month!
Any last comments? Let our readers know!
Thanks to Shop at Home for the opportunity to help us all save money on our everyday online purchases! We’d love to invite everyone to stop by our money saving website and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We’ll help you find more great deals, and some hot freebies too!
