Meet Mikey

Hello, my name is Kori I am the mother of a frugal 12 year old boy. He has been frugal for a couple of years now. He always has coupons, gift certificate, or a member card ready. He always knows where the best deal is. He actually has a binder for all of his gift cards, coupons, member cards and deals. Don't get me wrong Mikey is not cheap. He likes nice things. He just makes sure he gets his money's worth. For instance if he were going to buy a Ipod, Mikey would scan the adds and the Internet for not only the lowest price but he would make sure that the offer included a free gift card or game or some other extra free gift. So this way he gets the lowest price and free extras for his money.

This blog will be written partly by me the mom, but will also have a section for Mikey to share his tips, ideas, and frugal finds. We will blog about everything frugal. Our frugal summer, our vacations, family events, holidays, shopping, and more.
I hope you will enjoy this inspiring journal of a my frugal kid.


Hello my name is Mikey and I am a frugal 12 year old kid. I love to bargain hunt. I pretty much got my mom into cutting and using coupons. If you could see my expression when I get a good deal you would think I am overreacting, but saving money is important since I have so little of it. You might think its hard being frugal but you'd be surprised at all the things you can do and buy for little or nothing to you. You can also get money and free things for everyday items you buy. For example; If you always drink soda in a can then save all the cans and cash them into a can collecting machine., for money. Also by checking weekly ads you can get discounts, and free gift cards for everyday things like DVDs, toiletries and food. So join me each day for my tips and finds. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Have a frugal day. - Mikey
