About Me

Hi, I’m Melissa, the mom behind Saving Cents with Sense™ , a site dedicated to helping families find quality products, HOT deals, store savings, and money saving tips.

I have been married to my best friend, Ben, for eight years and we have three beautiful children, ages 7 months to 6 years. When I’m not finding deals, or spending time with my family, I am utilizing my Master’s Degrees by teaching college psychology classes.

Saving Cents with Sense™ began in January 2009 because I knew how challenging it could be to stretch your budget and still provide quality products to your family that you could be proud of.  After being laid off in October 2007, I had to find ways to save, which is why I started using Coupons. I immediately realized that we could cut our grocery bill in half, and it didn’t have to be rocket science.

Over the past few years, not only have I helped people find store coupon match-ups, online deals, restaurant deals, and other ways to stretch their budget, but I have also worked with wonderful brands to help build product awareness through social media. Some of these brands include Britax, TJ Maxx, Summer Infant, Fry’s Food Stores, Ross and many more.  I have also been featured on several media outlets.

This is a PR Friendly blog. If you are PR or a direct company please read more about my Advertising & Marketing information.

I hope you will stay awhile, look around, and let me know if you have questions. I’m always happy to help.
