Summary

We solved it all this week. How do you plan for a day out and about without breaking the bank to feed your crew on the way home? Solved. What to do when your friends are shaming you for living paycheck to paycheck? Solved! Is meal planning non-existent in your home and you think it’s breaking the bank? SOLVED! Listeners not only wrote with their problems, they told us what makes them feel like winners at saving and we shared all of their tips with you.

P.S. USB ports are going away and Weight Watchers changed their name. We aren’t happy about it either. Enjoy saving WELL!

  • an update on Em’s decision to get bangs and how 40 is going so far

  • the beginning of Rebecky’s WW journey (and all the things that are messing up her routine)

  • ideas for last-minute meals that don’t break the bank

  • differentiating want vs. need

  • solving your meal prep probs
