I enjoy cooking, prefer gourmet, however having children and a budget sometimes makes you take a step back. I love to find cost-effective and time-saving tips to the dreaded shopping trip. When you have a family it seems sometimes the process makes it a little less enjoyable. Becoming a member of this website will allow me to put the fun back into what I love most.
