👩🍳 About the Author
Melissa "Liss" Burnell started Budget101.com in 2001 because she needed it to exist — not because she saw a market opportunity. She was feeding a family of four on under $200 a month, and people kept asking how, so she started writing everything down.
That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.

I have $2000 left to be debt free – the house. I can’t wait to start stocking up according to the sales flyers and buying calendars. Right now, we buy just what we need for 2 weeks and dire needs. Thanks again.
That’s wonderful! It feels like it takes forever to get out of debt, but when you see an end in site, there’s nothing like it. :rodeo:
