| Introduction | For over 32 years, I have lived the frugal lifestyle. My mom's determination to persevere through extraordinarily difficult financial circumstances is the basis of my frugal thinking. I have told my story to millions of listeners and readers on the radio, on the web and in women’s magazines (including Woman’s Day and Woman’s World) so they say I am an expert now! ;-) My mom and I have put our best tips and tricks for saving at the grocery store into a new 476 page book. Dining on a Dime (formerly Not Just Beans) is packed with 1,200 money saving recipes and tips. Please I am begging you to buy Not Just Beans so that we can hold out the hope that we will one day be able to park in our garage! My husband and I and have 3 forms of birth control, (er…kids) and we live in Wichita, Kansas. We like to think of ourselves as missionaries to Kansas in exile from Colorado and we pray every day for God in His providence to return us to Colorado! In 8 years, we paid off $36,000 personal debt on an average income of $25,000 per year. Oh… I guess that does make me an expert after all. |
