About Us

Welcome to Your Frugal Gourmet! Thank you for taking the time out of your hectic schedule to find out a little more about who Your Frugal Gourmet is, and how the site came to fruition.

 

My name is Melissa Carver--President and Founder of Your Frugal Gourmet.com. I am married, and the mother of two small children. The idea for the website grew from a question my friend asked a guest speaker one day during a MOPS (Moms Of Pre Schoolers) group meeting. She wanted to know if there was a website that existed which incorporated recipes utilizing coupons found on the internet and in the Sunday paper.

 

That question started me thinking, and after tireless research with no success to answer my friend's question for myself, I thought....what if I use the recipes I was in the process of creating for my flouring catering business, and turn them into meals everyone can enjoy? I had already devoloped money saving strategies to purchase ingredients for my catering menu; and having two small children and a husband to plan meals around encouraged me to develop easy to make, yet delicious recipes we would all like. Why not share this--the answer to my friend's question--with everyone? Thus, I created YourFrugalGourmet.com.

 

We are a "members only" site that offers you the opportunity to save an average 60-75% on your self-prepared, dinner meals throughout the week. Membership benefits include: seven weekly recipes, a complete shopping list, and links to printable coupons (or specific locations as to where to find essential coupons).

 

At YourFrugalGourmet.com, we make food shopping and dinner ideas family friendly and very affordable. And because we do all the work for you, it's quick and easy to get dinner on the table! You get everything you need to shop for the recipes on this site. The menu changes weekly to provide our customers with a variety of recipes. You will never see a recipe repeated...now, what's the fun in that? We also feature an "almost free" meal of the week, which is solely built around product coupons and/or sale items, bringing the cost of making the recipe free or nearly free.

 

If someone had told me a year ago that I was going to be able to go grocery shopping on a weekly basis, and get $160 worth of groceries for as little as $48, I would never have believed it. Although I don't always get that kind of bargain, my resourcefulenss still enables me to save considerably each week.

 

The goal of this site is to encourage people to save money by cooking more. Join today and start seeing the difference for yourself.
