Five Finger Discounts
About Me
Welcome to Five Finger Discounts- where we encourage stealing- just kidding:)
I’m Elena, a SAHM to my precious 4 year old daughter Emma and I am married to Mark, the love of my life (who just happens to also be an AWESOME Dad).
Before becoming a SAHM, I was an Elementary School teacher in South Florida for 10 years. When Emma was 6 months old we decided we wanted to move out of FL. It took a lot of careful planning and many trips to North Carolina to make our dream a reality. Since 2007, we are happy to call North Carolina home.
I started this blog to track my spending & savings and to help teach my daughter the importance of “smart spending”. My hope is that this will be second nature to her by the time she is old enough to shop on her own.
I have always been into “bargain hunting”. As a child, I used to help my mom clip coupons and I loved going to the store and finding the items that matched the coupons. Unfortunately, neither one of us knew how to use coupons effectively. We saved a tiny bit of money but never enough to have made it worth all the time we spent clipping them.
That was then….this is now. A lot has changed. The internet has opened up a whole new world for us all and coupons and savings opportunities can be found all over the World Wide Web! Thanks to all the information available to us, you can become a power coupon user. Instead of saving 50 cents on a box of cereal, I will teach you how to pay 50 cents for a box of cereal.
If you have champagne taste and beer pockets, then you have come to the right place. I like purchasing healthy, quality products (no pop tarts here) for my family but I also have to keep us on a budget. With knowledge and planning you can buy the foods you like at DEEP DISCOUNTS. Follow me to learn the tips, tricks and resources that I use to save between 30- 60 percent off my grocery bill every week.
Let the savings begin…….
