About me: My name is Faye and I have been writing and teaching classes about frugal living, meal planning, grocery savings, restaurant discounts and retail deals for over 25 years now. I have written on various platforms over the years including my most recent gig which was writing a money saving column for a Raleigh TV station for over 16 years. Some of you have been along for the ride since the beginning when I was blogging and teaching classes in the early 2000s in North Carolina and I thank you so much for continuing on this money saving journey with me!
I’m a mom to two amazing grown daughters and the full-time caretaker for my sweet elderly father. In my previous career, I was a human resources manager. I have a couple degrees in music (clearly not using that one!) and human resources.
Whether you live in North Carolina or Colorado or anywhere else in the country, I hope you’ll find my posts save you a bit of money and help you live a little more comfortably within your means!
