5 Questions with Sunnie Hedley

1.  Describe yourself (Job, Location, Lifestyle)

Current Career Path:  By Devine Humor:  Mom of 2 wonderful kids and Wife to 1 lucky man. By Professional Choice:  Real Estate Agent. Our life style sums up simply as "Positive Organized Chaos"…It’s the only way I know how to live. 

My favorite money saving tip is coupon clipping.  The old school way of saving money works great with our family. My favorite money saving day is Sunday, I compare the Sunday Newspaper Ads with the coupons that I have and I gear up to go to battle.  Saving money isn’t a hobby, it’s a competitive sport that should not be taken lightly, especially when I’m behind the cart!   

The No. 1 deal in my Hall of Fame of Money Saving Deals, was the time I stumbled into an Old Navy looking for a shirt for my then 5 year old daughter.  The manager walked by and informed me she was marking a whole section down to $.50.  This section was a 50 cent potpourri of full sized back packs for girls and boys regular price of $24.99.  As well as pen and pencil pouches regular price of $ 9.99.  The "blue light special" bulb lit up in my head and I grabbed a cart and bought every single one I could get my hot little hands on.  I sold most of them to neighbors, friends and co-workers for $5.00 a piece for pack packs and $3.00 for the pouches.  The ones I kept are still in good use by my kids 7 years later. 

4.  What is your favorite time saving tip or hack?

The way I save time and money is I try to keep my shopping ventures pre-meditated.  Knowing where I’m going and what I’m buying, I can have my coupons in hand or search them on-line before and the day goes smoothly.  Of course, you have to be open to improvise when needed, ie:  the coveted Clearance Aisle.

5.  What is your favorite "cheap meal"?

Favorite cheap meal awards goes to Mc Donald’s.  Where can a family of 4 go to dinner for $10 plus tax?  The Dollar Menu fills our bellies and doesn’t empty our wallet!
