Listen on Your Favorite Podcast Player

Ever look at your bank statement and think… how did that happen? In this first episode of our new Spending Intervention series, Jen and Jill sit down with a listener who bravely shares her 90-day transaction inventory, from surprise splurges to gift-giving gone wild. Together, they uncover what’s really driving her spending and explore how to shift toward choices that feel more intentional (and less like a budget hangover). Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen in for some major “same here!” moments.

Discovering the Treasures of Salvage Stores

Jen and Jill introduce us to the world of salvage stores—the home of quality yet affordable items. These items are definitely not a ticking time bomb or any less valuable than items sold in mainstream markets just because they have minor defects. In fact, theme items can help you save big time!

Additionally, Jill unveils the secret behind maintaining safety quality standards for these items, all while providing great deals on everyday items.

Discovering the Treasures of Salvage Stores

When shopping for groceries, architectural items, and overstock, Jen and Jill note the importance of knowing what an item is worth because not everything will be a steal. But having more than one outlet in your area can offer more options for good deals! Since these stores can be overwhelming, it is best to research, have a list, pay attention to details, and have the courage to ask for help when needed.
