About Me


Hi, my name is Janelle and my family and I live in Kansas City.  First, let me say that I am still learning the whole coupon process and I am not yet a KC Savvy Shopper, but I definitely plan to become one!

Several people have turned to me for help, so I thought it would be fun to learn together. Couponing can be confusing and time consuming, but I am hoping that by sharing my knowledge, you will become more saving’s savvy.  There are many great blogs set up for young mothers, but we are past the diaper stage in our life so I want to create something for families that do the shopping for more than one generation… from teens to the elderly.   

A bit about us… we are a family of 5 with 3 kids (middle school, high school and college), 2 golden retrievers, 2 kittens and a slew of relatives that live near us.  My husband is a firefighter in Kansas City and I am a stay at home mom that has recently returned to school to pursuit a degree in a new field.  In my previous corporate life, I was in senior management for call centers, but after a layoff, I decided to do something more rewarding, so I am moving into the healthcare field.  As I enter my forties, I am juggling busy teens, a husband with a demanding career, learning to coupon, learning how to set up a blog (and keep it current!), and attending school full time.  My hands are quite full; but I am loving every minute of it!
