Leah Ingram

Hi. I'm Leah Ingram, and I'm a writer, author and money-saving expert. I am the author of 15 books on topics ranging from frugal living to paying for college to saving money on a wedding.

In addition, over the years, I have partnered with national brands to bring my unique, smart-spending advice to national audiences. Some of those partners have been Chase Ultimate Rewards, Walmart and Family Dollar stores, among other. In that role, I've appeared on TV, radio, online and in print, including on "Good Morning America" and CNBC. Plus, I was a regular contributer to Parade Magazine and NBC Universal online properties.

With my primary blog, m mission is to help you become a real sophisticated consumer and get the most bang for your buck. I understand that you're busy. I am, too. So, as you're looking for smart shopping info, I'm here to help you get the most value for your time and money. FYI, we may have met in the past when this blog started in 2008. At that time it was called Suddenly Frugal.

Other places I'm sharing my expertise includes Food Drink Life. There, I'm a regular contributor, covering lifestyle topics. In 2024 the Associated Press will be including select Food Drink Life stories I've written.

I'm also the founder of Southern Maine on the Cheap is part of the Living on the Cheap network. It offers advice on how to enjoy Southern Maine on a budget.

Selling and Buying a Home is my real estate and home decor blog for home owners.

Your Home Dog is the manifestation of my being a crazy dog lady. So, I write about all things canine there.
