My personal tag line might be, “There is probably a coupon for that.” At a young age, I mistook my parent’s coupon clipping for a game and I wanted to treasure hunt at the grocery store when I grew up. Now, I’m a freelance personal finance writer living in New Orleans, and while I realize there aren’t games to play at the grocery store, I still see saving money as kind of a big kid treasure hunt. When I’m not deal hunting, you can usually find me at a dog park, a local festival, or in my kitchen trying to master cooking.
