Welcome to my corner of the internet!

I’m Jessie, a single mom of two, navigating life with a disability and on a fixed income. Here, you won’t find fancy meals or bakery-worthy pastries. Instead, my focus is on the everyday challenge of feeding my kids nutritious meals without breaking the bank. My journey isn’t about picture-perfect culinary creations or a spotless kitchen. Expect to see Walmart hauls, second-hand finds, and a collection of mismatched, well-loved kitchenware against the backdrop of an old stove and a kitchen that’s seen better days.

Despite the simplicity, I’ve gathered a wealth of budget-friendly tips and strategies to make every grocery dollar count. This space is dedicated to sharing those insights, aiming to support others facing similar challenges. Here, it’s all about keeping it real and practical. Welcome aboard!
