Thank you for stopping by my blog, My Frugal Adventures!
I am Charlene, a stay at home mom of two gorgeous baby girls and one pound puppy. This blog is written for the moms (and non-moms) out there that want to learn how to seriously stretch a dollar. By sticking to a budget and making every penny count we are able to enjoy life and spend money on the things that are really important to us. As the blog name indicates- we are committed to a debt free lifestyle and we are slowly getting there- one coupon at a time!
We live in the land of no doubles (Northern California)- where the cost of living is high and getting great deals is even more of a challenge. If I can do it anyone can do it!

For all the Once Upon a Time fans, there is a $10 off coupon for season 1 on the abc website that expires on Thursday. http://abctvondvdcoupon.com/?cid=oncedvdcoupon#
Charlene,
Love your website, I use it for all my deals, except Foods Co. Have you ever thought about checking out there deals?
Merrie,
Yours will be the third request for Foods Co in three years
. So no I really haven’t had much interest and haven’t considered it as a result. I think the Kroger deals I post match a little to Foods Co. They do have nice sales it just isn’t a very popular store.
Hi there, I just missed Target beauty bag filled with stuff. Is there anyway you can remind me once again when there is another offer coming up. Please. Thank you. I really like to have one since people are talking about it. Thanks again
Charlene, I appreciate all your effords to help us save a dollar.
I have been reading about making my own laundry detergent or soap. I found a receipe on the internet, but I am hesitating a little bit. I don’t know anybody who has ever done that. Can you give me some advice or even try it out?
Kathrin,
I have actually heard great things about homemade laundry soap. I looked into it at one point but I have never found the Arm and Hammer Washing Soap that most people use.
Here is a recipe from pinterest:

She has a lot of comments from people that tried the recipe.
Hi Charlene, do you know when we will be seeing more apparel coupons for target(mossimo,xhiliration,etc…)? Do you kow how often Target generates new coupons? Thanks in advance!
Hi Charlene! Will you be including Dollar Tree coupon match ups on your website?
Jan,
They are available under stores and then Dollar Tree

Hi Charlene,
I just came across your website looking for matchup deals for luckys/savemart. Do you only post the best deals, or do you post everything on sale, is there a way to determine how good the deal is?
Thanks
Luba
Luba,
I don’t post all the deals just the ones I think are the best
.
Thank you Charlene, have a great day
I know you dont advertise this but King sooper has chrest toothpaste 10/$10. There is a coupon for $0.50 in septembers coupons. King soopers matches up to a $1.00. So I got 3, 4oz toothpaste for 21 cents.
Great job Amy!
Thanks for all that you do
!!
I paid $0.88 for a 9 pc anchor bakewere this offer is in kmar online , price is 9.99 you can use the code KMART10PSAVINGS and get 10% off and using your shop your way it is a swerter deal, ship is free using pick up at your store…
Hi Charlene, I love your website as it is so full of info! i tried getting the address labels from walmart but it did not show free shipping after I applied the discount code. I dare not enter my credit card details as I think the site will charge me for shipping. Any advice?
Carol- Go ahead and do it and then after you get through that step the final page will reflect the discount. They won’t charge you until you click a button that says place order or confirm order or something to that effect.
Hi, I love your way to save money, but I have a big question HOW I USE COUPONS ON A PRODUCT not understand that even if they are only 2 on the store and the manufacturer or I can use several of the same product
I hope your answer’m unemployed and need to save
thank you very much
hello charlene
I was wondering how walgreen and riteaid rewards work i really dont understand wallgreen. I know how cvs work but dont understand walgreens.
thanks
Elf is not working for me or the Crabtree and Evelyn deals, very frustrating, you should check your deals before you post them!
Kim,
Those were posted yesterday. With very hot deals- like the ones you mentioned at over 75% off the retail price- you do want to shop the same day the offer is posted. If you wait a day or two to shop- like you have done- the offers do expire. That doesn’t have anything to do with me. It has to do with you being more timely. I did check the offers and they both worked fine when I posted. If you actually go back and read the posts I did explain very clearly the offers were available 11/30. Today is 12/1. Your unpleasant remarks are totally unwarranted.
these deals are available to millions and go very fast ecspecially this time of year. i was like wow reading kims comment hopefully she was just frustrated at something else in her life and took it out on you and not really mad about getting a deal because there is so many more important things in life to worry about
Living Social has a deal today for a $20 eGift card to CVS for $10. Should make some nice holiday shopping! https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/525836?ref=conf-jp&rpi=94958070
Just wanted to say that the women who run these type of shopping blogs are AWESOME. i cant believe all the deals you find and the coupons that you are aware of.
Hi, I recently started my journey into couponing however I have ran into a few issues. Has anyone else had problems using coupons.com? It wont let me actually clip any items, except whatever the offer of the week is. Even when I try and click on the see more coupons link its as if its unclickable. When I do try and print the offer of the week coupon it says my printer settings are wrong even though they arent (I tripled check). This is sooo frustrating, has anyone else had these kinds of issues?
Hi Charlene, I love what you are doing! I tell people all the time what a great site you have.
I do have trouble finding things after the post gets a little old. For example: What is the easiest way to find Retail and Restaurant Coupons a few days after the post? And the Link to the Red Plum coupons?
Thanks for all of your wonderful information! Carol
Hi Carol, Thanks so much! The Red Plum link is at the bottom of the page in the center. The other stuff- I put the retail and restaurant under the “coupons” category. If you look in the top right corner you will see a search box. Directly above that is a tab that says “categories”- you click that and select the categories from the drop down box. In this case it is Coupons. When I do that the third thing down is the retail coupons.
Let me know if that is confusing to you-
Hey! Sometimes you post about personalized banners for parties. What website is it?
Katy- Shindigz is the company.
