About Go Cheap Phoenix

Leslie is a 4th generation Phoenician who loves exploring the Valley of the Sun and hates spending money. Leslie started this page because she is passionate that a little knowledge and planning allows each of us to live a full life on very little dough.

Since she already creates a Cheap and Free Phoenix Events Calendar and loves taking pictures, she figured she may as well put them online, so others can access the information. Shouldn’t everyone know how to Go Cheap in Phoenix?

Despite her cheapskate tendencies, this blog shows that Leslie does spend a little money on great food, live music, free events, travel to the national and state parks, and photography.  In her full-time job, she supports school districts with their Human Capital Management Systems. She occasionally posts life & leadership lessons and is a contributor to txts-4-leaders.

Go Cheap Phoenix also benefits from the expert Cheap Eater in the household, Fitz, a former soldier and retired chef originally from the U.K. He has a knack for providing unfiltered opinions, forecasting food trends, and for finding the best cheap eats around.
