In a lot of areas, Utah’s cost of living is quite low but right now one annoying thing is that Utah’s gas prices are over 20 cents a gallon higher than the national average. According to gasbuddy.com, Utah’s prices are the 4th highest in the nation! Last year it cost us on average $20 to [...]
This week’s Thrifty Shopper post is pretty bad. I have two pictures out of 3 shopping trips and I lost all my receipts so I can’t completely break down the deals. At least I use my American Express card to buy almost everything (so I can get money back each year!) So I know how [...]

It has been 22 years since Provo has increased their [...]
When we lived in Idaho, Winco was our favourite grocery store to shop at. The best thing about this grocery store is their bulk section where you can buy the amount of spices, baking ingredients, popcorn kernels and more that you want, often for less per ounce than what you would pay buying a case [...]
Up until this week my pregnancy has been fairly easy. Now I am having the same pain on my upper right side that I had the first two times. Except with both Sariah and Bekah it started around 25 weeks. Because the pain is under my ribs and by my right shoulder blade it might [...]
