Is it a case of an apple not falling far from the tree? Many of the celebrities and athletes on our list sprung from some very thrifty parents. We hope you find our list a refreshing shift away from the lavish lifestyles we so often hear about from celebrities.
Lady Gaga
When not dressed up a tasty pastry, Lady Gaga has been spotted sporting coupons in grocery stores and heading straight to the sales rack in clothing stores. In recent interviews, she pointed to her middle-class upbringing in NY that brings out her inner deal hunter. A recent tweet from the megastar confirmed her frugal ways: “Why do people look at me like I’m crazy when I use coupons at grocery (stores) or try bargaining at retail, I’M FROM NEW YORK WHERE IS THE SALE RACK.”
Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood, worth $70 Million, has publicly admitted a weakness for Subway food, clipping coupons, and doing her own grocery shopping. At the end of the day, this songstress has it all - looks, talent, money, and a Midwestern sense of frugalness.
Jennie Garth
Jennie Garth is perhaps best known for starring as Kelly Taylor in Beverly Hills, 90210, but in real life the megastar is anything but a west coast glitz queen. In fact, the star recently started a blog on the popular coupon site- and in it, extolls the virtues of frugalness and living within one’s means. Perhaps the facts that she was raised on a Midwestern farm and has three daughters led her to her frugal ways - who knows? In any case, her new husband (congratulations!) is one lucky guy.
Kourtney Kardashian
Like them or not, the Kardashians have made a name for themselves in Hollywood. They are always in the news for being controversial. And while each of the family members have memorable traits, perhaps the most fascinating one of all is Kourtney. For all of her wealth, she is a passionate coupon queen - often slashing her grocery bills in half each week.
Kristen Bell
Who can forget Kristen Bell’s iconic personae on Parks and Recreation? Yet for all of her celebrity status, she still finds time to clip coupons. In fact, she recently admitted she never goes shopping without a stack of coupons - sorry guys, she’s married.
Renee Zellweger
Renee Zellweger credits her parents for her heavy coupon use. In a recent interview, she stated she was raised in a very “frugal” household - are you starting to sense a pattern here? It seems celebrities who grew up with frugal parents are far more likely to become discount-hunters when the blossom.
Kate Gosselin
These days, Kate Gosselin probably has a lot more time to clip her coupons since getting canned from a coupon site a while back. Still, her posts were chock-full of helpful advice for finding deals when shopping for a family.
Mama June
Who can forget Mama June passionate performances on TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”? It turns out she is no less passionate about coupons, proudly proclaiming that finding a bargain is often “better than sex!”
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Look, if Buffy the Vampire Slayer wants to cut a deal using coupons, who is going to argue? She’s worth $15 Million but knows how to save. Sarah Michelle Gellar has been known for years as a frugal spendthrift - she’s often spotted by the paparazzi at Whole Foods sporting a handful of coupons.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck
A couple of years ago Elisabeth Hasselbeck took a stand for using coupons on “The View”. Both her and her husband regularly use coupons to shop and often the discounts they find online and in print dictate which store they shop at.
What about you? Do you know of any other rich celebrities that clip coupons and live a frugal lifestyle despite their wealth?
