Wilburn, who lost her father early in life because of an extended and expensive illness, learned quickly that survival often meant cutting expenditures and making a dollar go much, much further. In 1997, as a mother of two, she continued those practices by hosting a consignment sale with her friends in her living room and Just Between Friends was born.

Money Saving Queen, Sarah Roe, also became an expert in frugal living out of necessity. When her oldest son was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies, Roe and her husband Eric were facing astronomical food bills each month, along with mounting medical bills. Growing up in a frugal family, Roe turned to couponing and changed her family’s future. She turned her expertise into a business.

Today Money Saving Queen reaches more than 100,000 moms every month and saves her followers up to 80 percent off monthly bills each month. She offers tips in more than 10 markets across the country and is working to take her message nationwide through various media groups.
