My name is Christina and I’m the writer behind Northern Cheapskate.  I write this blog from the woods of northern Minnesota, where I clip coupons, pinch pennies and chase three boys (a 4-year old and twin 2-year olds) as a stay-at-home mom.

My mission is to help you take control of your finances through coupons, freebies, and money-saving ideas.

Each week you’ll find a variety of posts at Northern Cheapskate to help you save money.  You’ll find high value coupons, free samples you can request, rebate offers, tips for bringing in extra cash, frugal living ideas to help you make your money last, and much more.

I’d like to point out that I am NOT a financial advisor. I am simply a stay-at-home mom interested in saving money and living a frugal lifestyle. While I enjoy giving my opinions and sharing deals with you, please remember that you are ultimately responsible for making your own, educated decisions when it comes to your personal finances.

Please be sure to read my full disclaimer, disclosure, and privacy policies.

I value your questions, comments, and tips, and encourage you to contact me with your ideas.
