I think it is fun Getting to Know Your Bloggers! I will be featuring other Bloggers who do the same thing that I do – share those deals!

This week’s featured Blogger is Tasia from Batavia’s Best Bargains.
I am happy to share a little about her with you all!

What is your name?

Tasia

What is your Blog’s Name?

Batavia’s Best Bargains

What State are you From?

New York

Do you have kids?

yes – 2 daughters 2, 4

What is your favorite hobby besides blogging/couponing?

Hobby, oh that word. I don’t know. It has changed for sure since having children. I really am thinking about deals and shopping that I don’t have time for another hobby! I do enjoy reading, hiking, and just hanging out with friends/family.

What made you start blogging?

I kept sharing all my great deals with others. Then the suggestion of teaching a couponing class came about. Then by God’s work a friend sent me a link for Blogelina’s blogging class. I prayed about it. And felt that it was the right move. Haven’t looked back since!

How long have you been blogging for?

ALMOST ONE FULL YEAR! I started in August 2014.

What type of deals do you post about?

Whatever deals I see! My favorites are clearance finds. It seems every time I go to a store I am finding a deal. So I love posting those unexpected markdowns. I enjoy posting my new series on how you can feed your family for less than $50 a week and it includes meal menus, shopping list etc. I post my own weekly shopping trips to because my site is really showing you that you can live the best life on a budget!

What is your favorite thing about blogging?

Knowing that I am not the only one getting an awesome deal and saving our money. It drives me mad to pay full price for something and knowing that so many other people are paying full price for items you can get for FREE! So I love when I know that people are catching on to this whole couponing thing and saving money!

Do you only shop for items you have coupons for?

Yes- but I have learned that sometimes it is not worth the stress and you have to buy an item here or there without a coupon. But that is very rare for me. If it is something I do not have a coupon for it is usually a pantry item. When my kids are shopping with me they ask- “Mommy do you have a coupon for that?”

What is your favorite store to shop at?

Target!! I can go in there and just wander around feeling relaxed! I also love all the clearance they have. I’m a sucker for clearance!

What is one of your favorite deals in the past?

My favorite deal in the past was the Harvestland Chicken Breasts at BJ’s. I still have 4 boxes in my freezer! It is rare to see such a good deal on an all natural meat!

Do you have any tips for new couponers?

You don’t have to get EVERY deal in the beginning. Start slow and stick with it and you will be giggling in a few months and how overwhelmed you were in the beginning. It will become a wonderful way to save money and you will meet some wonderful people who want to save right along with you!
