Welcome to Thrifty Mom Dot Com!

We're the best place on the web for practical parenting, and dieting tips, advice, and opinions ... all with a healthy dose of snark!

Sick of the cute, frou-frou, useless sites with the cut-n-paste advice worn so thin you can see through it? Hell, if you wanted that crap, you'd drag out your copy of What To Expect When Expecting that's propping up the bad leg on that hideous piece of crap table your monster-in-law gave you for your wedding that hubby says you can't throw out cuz it would hurt the nosy old bag's feelings.

Wicked witches have feelings? Who knew?

Tired, too, of the hip, modern, glam sites that act as if every mom on the planet is size 0 and independantly wealthy? Y'know the ones I'm talking about, they tout finding the "yummiest" handbag at only $450 (down from $900!), and show off the chic-est maternity wear that make the anorexic model (who already looks as if she pregnant with a hamster) look like a boiled egg stuffed into a condom.

Well, you won't find any crapola like that here. Just snarky opinions on parenting and dieting for actual real women. Exhausted, run ragged, penny pinching, wish-whoever-invented the-BMI-would-choke-on-a-damned-100-calorie-snack-and-die women.

Like you and me. Come on in. We have a cocktail waiting for ya.
