Hello, Im True! Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m the creator of Thrifty Mama, Rich Taste, and I’m so excited to share my journey with you. Like many of you, I wear multiple hats – mom, home manager, budget enthusiast, and a firm believer that a fulfilling life doesn’t require a fortune.

For years, I navigated the ups and downs of family life, always seeking ways to make our budget stretch further while still ensuring our home was filled with love, laughter, and good food. I learned that resourcefulness isn’t about deprivation; it’s about creativity and making smart choices.

My real turning point came during the quiet introspection of the COVID era. Like many, I was forced to slow down, and in that stillness, I began to deeply reflect on what a truly abundant life meant to me. I realized it wasn’t about a high-paying paycheck if it came at the cost of my own sovereignty and precious time. I became inspired to cultivate a life rich in family connection, self-awareness, and authentic living. This meant making intentional shifts in our spending habits. Instead of chasing more work to acquire more things we didn’t truly need, I chose to work less, spend less, and invest more time in enjoying life and creating lasting memories with my family.

Through trial, error, and a lot of love, I discovered countless ways to live richly on less. From mastering budget-friendly recipes that taste like a million bucks, to finding joy in simple family activities, and creating a home that feels like a warm hug – I realized these were lessons worth sharing. And so, Thrifty Mama, Rich Taste was born!
