About
Debra is a wife and mother (three-year old little girl). She traded in high-powered suits and high-heeled shoes for a new role as mommy – crayon enthusiast, storyteller, and kisser of boo-boo’s.
With a new role as a stay at home mom came the loss of two-thirds of the household income. Although expenses were increasing, Debra was determined to cut the family’s budget to ensure that she could stay home as long as possible. She was able to do just that and more.
In the summer of 2008, it became clear that the economy was in trouble and families were hurting. Seeing a need within her own community, Debra set out to educate others about what she had learned of budgeting and cutting grocery costs significantly. She created a successful blog, A Frugal Friend which was designed to help families reduce their expenses through grocery deals, coupons, rebates and by receiving free products from reputable companies.

Debra,
I am so excited about going to Disney! I plan to just sit back and absorb whatever knowledge I can, lol!
Thanks so much for being so kind!

Debra, thank you so much for all that you do to help with budgeting and saving a little, here and there. It all adds up! You have steered me in a direction that will benefit our family and I am addicted.

Thanks!

I would like to subscribe to Frugal Friend but I can not find on your page where to do so. My friends all just rave about the samples they receive in the mail and the coupons via email and I have become very interested, if you could please let me know how to join in on this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Kristyn
I am interested in subscribing to Frugal Friend as well. Could you please share with me how to join in as well (i.e. referring to Kristyn above). Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it.

Ladies,
To subscribe to A Frugal Friend, you’ll find the link on the right hand side of my blog (a bit under the CBS 11 logo). Click on it and follow the instructions. Let me know if you have any problems!
Least favorite chore: that would have to be the bathroom as well, considering I have THREE of them!
Most favorite: None come to mind! Just the satisfied feeling of a clean home when it’s all said and done!
