Hello! I’m Karrie Truman, urban homesteader wanna-be, and the proud owner of the blog Happymoneysaver.com. I started blogging in 2009 as a way of sharing recipes and money saving ideas with my three silly sisters.
My FIRST ever cookbook is available for right now! It’s called Seriously Good Freezer Meals: 150 Easy Recipes to Save your Time, Money and Sanity.
–> Go here to read more about my book and pre-order it!
Growing up in a large family, I’ve has always been keen to find ways to cut costs and, more importantly, time. I try hard to live my dream of spending time with family as much as possible while usually getting into all sorts of trouble. You know, doing crazy things like making 50 freezer meals in a day, raising chickens, learning to make things the old fashioned way, and dancing to 80s music while cleaning the house.
I live and blog out of eastern Washington. I have four amazing kids who keep me running around and steal my heart. My website, Happymoneysaver.com, helps my readers learn ways to live life to the fullest while on a budget, how to make things from scratch, and to try, try again when things go wrong.
Love your blog. Great graphics, tasty, fun recipes and outdoor adventures! All this reminds me of my
younger days. I,m 72 now and enjoy keeping up with your current trends. I’m a graphic designer / marketing director and wish you ongoing success with your wonderful site.
Best regards,

Hi Karrie,
Are you married , attached, — you could visit my homestead in America’s Outback ( NE Nevada ) any time you like !
Seriously, where do you source the Black Elderberries ? I have not been able to find them on the web (sold out for the year) or from stores in Reno or Salt Lake City.
Love, JOHN
Hi John, I found it’s cheaper and easier to call up your local organic or bulk stores to see if they have any. That’s where I found mine!
I purchased your cookbook…loved it SOOOOOO much that I bought another one for my RV when we go camping. This past weekend, I made the No Bake Granola bars. Let me tell you, I wanted to eat this AWESOME GOODNESS right out of the bowl. I am not a fan of peanut butter, but it did not overpower the bars at all. I have made about 3 other recipes so far and have NOT been disappointed. AWESOME BOOK!!!!!
Thank you so much Christa!!!! So so happy you love the recipes!!!!!
I am a very busy hospice nurse, my husband and I own a family janitorial service that demands our time in the evenings. Freezer to table meals made by us will be a game changer.
I have 3 teenage daughters and work out of the home. I’m happy I came upon your blog, this is what I was looking for. Thank you.
