Thrifty Foodies

This has been one of those years where I got more than enough reminders to “seize the day” . It’s also been a year that made me see that sometimes you really do have to tear it all down to rebuild it the way you want it.

My life changed so drastically at the beginning of the year when I lost my brother that I had to reevaluate everything in my life. No promise of tomorrow …. no kidding!

With that in mind of I’ve stripped Thrifty Foodies bare, re-imagined what it is and how it will evolve and decided on a slightly different approach.

Right now I’m in the renewal phase and putting all my ducks in a row. I’ve spent the last few months getting back up to speed on what’s in demand and what’s needed in the blogosphere and am ready to really “seize the day”.

One of the first things I’ll be doing is blogging EVERY DAY. I get so caught up in the actual daily LIVING, that I forget to share the things I’ve created, discovered, or to which I’ve been introduced. But that’s going to change starting today.

I’ve also decided that every time I win a giveaway, get a free sample, or  get a coupon to try a new product I’m going to review it. Got to build up the credentials to get companies to send me goodies so I can do giveaways at a point not to far into the future.

So without further adieu, please check out my next post, which is a review of a box full of True Lemon products that I received a few weeks ago when I won a giveaway on  Cookistry. This Cookistry link is to the actual page for the giveaway that I won so you can get an idea of all the goodies I received.

In the coming weeks I’ll be doing a series of posts on the topic of getting what you pay for. It may seem obvious that you always want to get what you pay for, but far too often companies either accidentally or purposefully take advantage of naiveté in consumers to get the economic upper-hand.

First in our series is “Baby Carrots” and other lies our produce man has told us..

Welcome to the first day of Thrifty Foodies adventures.

Alright so this is not the first online adventure I have ever had but it is my first food adventure and I want to invite you to come along and share it with me.

I’m off and running with a few words about who I am and where the vision for this site first began.
