Introduction from Lisa Leete of ThriftyKitchen.com

Who I Am:  I am a work-at-home mom living in Poway, CA with my high school teacher husband, two daughters, and a menagerie of pets.  I manage ThriftyKitchen.com from my home as well as working as a Virtual Assistant.  I have long had an interest in balancing work and family life.  Since my two daughters, ages 12 and 8, were born, I have been striving to reduce stress in the life of my working family, and to cut back on spending in order to have flexibility in number of hours worked.  The ThriftyKitchen site is the cumulative result of the lessons learned during those years, which are still continuing!

I am not a dietician or nutritionist or chef, but I have a great love of food and cooking and spending the dinner hour (OK - 20 minutes on a good night!) with my family.

My Goal: I look forward to sharing with you the strategies I’ve learned to keep our grocery bill reasonable without feeling deprived in any way.  If you never again pay $4.00 for a box of cereal, I’ve done my job!  I love to hear tips, comments and suggestions from readers, so please contact me at lisa@thriftykitchen.com with your feedback.
