About
Hi! I’m “Miss Tightwad”, aka Aileen! I’m a twenty-something year old living in Southern California. I’m a recovering shopaholic (self diagnosed) using my obsession with getting great deals to help others do the same!
I’m sure you’ll be surprised to find out that I’m not a mom! It’s been my personal experience that the majority of “hard core couponers” out there are those who have to feed a family. In fact, people often wonder why I “waste my time” with coupons when I don’t even have a family to feed. Sometimes I wish I had a reason to buy more because the deals are so great! But who are we kidding? If I find a great deal that I don’t need much of, I buy it anyway. Then again, I live with my parents, younger sister and boyfriend so there’s plenty of people around to shop for! Plus – I can always find someone to give extras to. Karma, people!
Right now, I am a college student majoring in Business/Entrepreneurship. I’ve always wanted to start my own business and have had small businesses here and there since I was a teenager.
I’ve been featured on the PBS show BizKids in episode #302, Wheel of Misfortune.
