Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
You do awesome readers. Thank you.

My hero is my mom. So cliche, but she immigrated to this country (legally, lol) with an elementary (if even that) education. She always worked minimum wage jobs but somehow she was able to single-handedly take care of me and my brother, as well as later on buy her own house. She wonders how her kids, although they have good paying jobs, are always “broke”, lol. She really knew how to save and conserve money.

My mom is my hero. After becoming a mom myself I understand more than ever the depth of her love and the sacrifices she has made!!
How awesome is this!! My mom is my hero… she will always be! Throughout everything she has always remained confident in her life no matter what has happened to her. She always remained strong through her cancer and just proves to me over and over again that life is what you make of it.
My hero is my hubs! He works hard to provide for us & has taken such good care of me after I had to have surgery last week. Despite long hours at the office all week, he got up early Sunday morning just to get my newspapers (they sell out fast) and he did 3 transactions. Started with $1 RR and with less than $1 OOP, he got 4 papers, 2 Biotrue, 1 dial, 3 folders, 1 pack of pens, and a $4RR to use next week! If that weren’t enough, he then drove to CVS and got the MM Dulcolax with 4 Betty crocker warm delights that are BOGO (used four .75/1 mq’s) cuz I’ve been craving choc lava cake & these are soooo good! I <3 him!

These people have a LOT of heart!
I’d LOVE to win a coupon too!!!
