- Quince Shopping: We believe spending a little more up front to buy quality products is the bedrock of a frugal, minimalist, and environmentally friendly lifestyle. If you can’t buy second hand then Qunice shopping is a great alternative. Quince focuses on essential products with low design costs – cashmere crews, supersoft fleece pants, hotel-quality sheets, accessories, and more. And they only work with factories committed to the highest production standards, fair wages, safety and sustainability. Quince then ships direct to you from around the world, no middlemen, then passes those savings on to you. To get free shipping & 365-day free returns, just go to OneQuince.com/frugal
- MOMS! We see you. Multitasking on everything. Taking care of literally everyone. not flinching at any bodily fluid you may find on your clothes, packing lunches, responding to emails, never. Ever. being able to finish that cup of coffee you made for yourself. Raising kids like a boss despite the push back, screaming, and insane decisions children make with their lives. Thanks moms for all you do! MOMS use code “I AM YOUR MOTHER” for a 15% reduction in tantrums
