About Me
- Becky
- I started out as a daughter and sister. Then things progressed and suddenly I was also a young child and a friend. As I grew I became a teen who was boy crazy and also enjoyed singing and performing in musicals. For a brief time I was a college student and then a newlywed. I enjoyed working in the "real world" as a claims adjuster's assistant. Then out of nowhere I was suddenly grown up and taking on the most challenging role of my life, Mother of 4. Now the time has come for the role of daughter to join the main players at center stage with the additional of the title, "caregiver".

This was fun to read. Happy 100th post.
All right becky, I need to know more about pinchingpennies.com. I have heard about a great coupon clipping workshop that is becoming very popular so I'm curious if it's the same thing. What can you tell me about it? Maybe I should call you.
Call me Kim. I'm not an expert but a friend of a friend got $600 in groceries for like $15 or something.
That is awesome! I need to do this!
