Our first product: Passionate Penny Pincher Home Planner
In 2019 we launched our first PPP Home Checklist, and sold out of the printed version within just a few hours. Realizing I wasn't the only busy mom who needed a clear checklist to manage my home, we created the 2020 Home Planner to help families take back control of their homes with a clear guide including simple tips of what to do each day throughout the year.
In the fall of 2019 our team also created the PPP “Magic Recipe Tin” & menu planning system. These simple ideas have already helped thousands of women re-claim their homes and their mealtimes every single day.
Joining other women in our private, online Facebook communities has been simply amazing as they've implemented these do-able strategies. If you've struggled in any of these areas in your home, we'd simple love for you to consider joining us too!
Real quickly, here’s a little about me. I love chocolate, I hate grouchy people, my kids drive me a wee bit crazy (but are my very favorites in the very same minute), and I’m married to a fabulous guy who puts up with me and makes me laugh. Coupons make me happy, I talk way too much, and sitting on my back porch with a brand new issue of Southern Living is my idea of a vacation.
Other people may think our family is a little over the top when it comes to frugality, but the truth is our penny pinching has allowed us to save more, give more, and live an abundantly blessed life.
Founding Story
I'm Laurie, a busy mom to three hoppin' kids aged 15-22, and have been married to my hubby James for a whopping twenty-six (!) years. Since becoming “passionate” penny pinchers when we first got married, I've been amazed at how living frugally, using coupons, strategically shopping sales ads, and constantly looking for ways to pinch pennies has changed our home, as well as our ability to give to others. I'm excited to help you gain control of your home and finances too . . . I promise, you can do this!– LAURIE HISE
I started blogging on a whim in the fall of 2009, after reading tons of amazing money saving sites over the last few years. In September of that year, my father-in-law contracted West Nile Encephalitis, and I spent many sleepless nights reading blogs while my husband was away taking care of his Dad. The one thing that I didn’t see promoted often on many sites was a push for donations of really cheap and free items, as well as menu planning based on weekly sale ads. So, Publix Penny Pincher (now Passionate Penny Pincher) was born!
Never in a million years would I have seen the next ten years coming. Since starting on blogspot back in 2009, Passionate Penny Pincher has helped millions of folks save money on groceries, Amazon deals, Dollar Tree DIY'ing, and making simple frugal meals at home too. In 2019 we launched our first Passionate Penny Pincher products (our first one sold out in 24 hours ~ crazy!) So now in addition to keeping up with all the deals we share each day, we've created a few simple ideas that have helped tens of thousands of women beautifully care for their home, family and finances too.
