About
So I thought it was time that I added that all-important about me! First off I was born and raised in Sunny Los Angeles, California but now located in Phoenix, AZ. I have enjoyed living here though the traffic can be a headache. I grew up always being very money conscience, I was received a real cash register for Christmas when I was a child. So it is safe to say I was budget savvy from the start. I studied hard through high school and was able to attend the University of Southern California to study History. During my college years I decided to get a job at the happiest place on earth: Disneyland!
It feels like it was forever ago, but Disneyland was a great place to work. But I was always shocked on how much guests would spend on 5.00 pretzels and 20.00 hats they will never wear again. Also this is where I met my best friend and DH, Eric! You know you found your soul mate when he is willing week after week to hold my coupon binder as I find my deals at the local CVS!
After graduating from USC, I had various jobs in advertising and retail and found out that they were not a good fit at all. So with a push from my family I started this blog. I love helping everyone find those amazing deals and be able to save some money!

Hi Budget Diva,
Im thankful I stumbled upon your website, because like most, I dont have enough time to scour the internet for money savings deals. I have ALWAYS lived with the philosophy that a penny saved is a penny earned. I never cared that my parents were doctors and rich, I always had my coupons and ONLY bought sale items. Im glad I did, because its helping me now as I live my life. I wanted to thank you deeply for your website, your time and your dedication to help people like me. I appreciate it so very much and wish you a very blessed life.
I’m in a similar boat. I graduated college 2 years ago and had one job but my moms job was relocated to Florida so I’m job searching again but haven’t found much I’m tempted to say forget it and try and blog fulltime…but I’m not sure I have what it takes…but I’m trying!
Love your site, but would really love a widget on the side with a running list of all your posts. As much as I check the site, I always miss one. Would be a lot easier if there were a way to see them all by lineitem
