Frugal Friends

Good morning, friends! 👋 Eating at home is one of our top recommendations to save, but with grocery prices rising an average of 3.3% in 2025, it’s vital to use our resources to save where we can. Strategic use of apps, discount stores, and trade can help mitigate the sticker shock we feel while shopping—and…

Can you afford to lose your job? I know, not exactly the Monday mood booster you were hoping for… but hear me out. We’re shaking things up around here (again!) because well, you asked for it. After digging through the results of our recent mega survey, we’re tailoring our content to give you exactly what…

Hey Friends! Did you know that having too many choices can lead to decision fatigue, stress, and yep, poor financial habits. We’ve been through it—overcomplicated budgets, way too many savings accounts, and financial plans that are impossible to stick to. And guess what?

Sweet mangoes, coconuts, and pineapples so good they ruin the canned stuff forever. 😋 BUT not all produce is created equal, especially when it’s out of season. No matter where you are, one of the…
