About Me
Hello! I am Stephy, the creator and avid money-saving enthusiast behind Prudent Penny Pincher. I’m an author, content developer, and professional blogger with over seven years of experience and the creative mind behind this blog. I hold a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Library and Information Science. Through my educational journey, I learned how to be a skilled researcher and writer, which makes me uniquely qualified and suited for scouring the internet to recommend the best sources and ideas to share with my readers.
I started this journey in 2016, initially inspired by my own experiences. With student loans and high living costs, I had to learn how to stretch every penny quickly. Through trial, error, and a lot of research, I managed to master the art of penny-pinching and discovered that living on a budget doesn’t mean sacrificing life’s pleasures. My mission is to empower everyday people to live joyfully while saving money.
Beyond the blog, I am a proud mom to fur babies, and in my free time, I enjoy drinking coffee, reading, and listening to classical music.

Where can I get copies of your recipe books?
Mindy says
Is there a pdf of the recipe collections? Looking to save time rather than clicking every link and then printing it out. I love your website thank you so much for providing all the information you do.

Hi Mindy,
You are very welcome 🙂 I’m glad to hear that you enjoy the website! Unfortunately, there is not a PDF version of the round up posts I do because of copyright issues. Many of those links go to different websites. I’m sorry!
Darlene Turenne says
Do you sell the gingerbread book?

Hi Darlene, No, sorry — these are not books for sale. They are just free ideas. You can click the link for the one you want and they will give you a tutorial for how to make it.
