Thifty Kadi

Hop on over to Simply Thrifty to meet the new writer Kadi Prescott. You may remember Kadi from her debut on SuperNanny as a frazzled mother of 7 children.

She’s been writing SuperNanny Rules with Gayla McCord for a few months now.

What may prove more amusing, and I say amusing with great empathy, than watching Kadi discipline 7 children, will be watching the self-described “Anti-Thrift” attempt to become frugal in the face of increasing gas and grocery prices. Kadi writes:

My spending habits have always been a bit on the frivolous side. My daddy always told me that I’d better marry rich. So what did I do? I married a middle class, blue collar worker and popped out seven babies.

Yeah, that’s a problem. (One that makes me chuckle, like I chuckle while I watch Kate from Jon & Kate plus 8 be compulsively clean in the face of sextuplets and twins.)

Affording the day to day expenses of raising seven kids, is hard enough without adding the big ticket items that every American family has to inevitably face. Becoming thrifty is not just a novel idea, it is the only way that we are going to be able to survive on one income.

Good luck Kadi!
