About

Hello

I am The Shopping Nazi

I am the oldest son of parents that grew up in The Great Depression. My father was the middle child of a railroad worker. My mother was one of 10 children.

I have gone through life with little to show for my efforts.  Now that I am older and with a family; they look to me for their daily needs. I want to have something there for them after I am gone.

A few years ago, my wife and I went through some real hard times. We had to file for bankruptcy. Then a few months later, we left our home and moved into an apartment, because of a foreclosure. These experiences really got me thinking about how we spend our money

I do not want to settle to a lifestyle where I live from paycheck to paycheck. I am a realist in that I know it is not how much I make; it is what I do with that money after I made it. This is where the difference between a comfortable lifestyle and struggling is made.

Years ago, back when I was a buyer for a non-profit, I was nicknamed, “The Shopping Nazi”, because I would not spend money on anything that was not needed. Then when I would buy something, I would get it for the best possible price at the best possible quality.

Today, I have taken that same fanatical approach to family and business finances. We compare prices, compare quality, and read reviews. Then we help save money one product at a time.
