    Smile Newbie from Colorado!

    Hello everyone! I've been watching this site for a while now and feel it's time to join in the fun! I love the ideas on this site.

    A little about me:

    I have been a single parent for the last 6 years, and am about to be married for the first time to an absolutely wonderful (and very frugal) man. I had some debt for a while (kiddo medical bills and student loan) and went on a "rice for lunch" diet to pay off all of the bills about 4 years ago - but haven't been quite that frugal since.

    I came to this site because I am looking for ideas and ways that I can help my family save more of the dollars that we work very hard for, and hopefully have some fun projects with my kiddo while we do!


    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome from Florida. Hope you enjoy it here, I do. It's definitely habit forming and addictive !! In the Food/cooking forum I do believe there is a kid's cooking area that maybe the two of you can do together.
    Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
