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.

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.
