Feeling like you have to buy the next thing to keep up with the Joneses is always going to be a no for me.

But what I am here for is a list of affordable items that legitimately make your life easier.

So today I'm going to be sharing seven items under $50 that actually improved

my life. Be sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend. All right, by the way,

if you need some last minute Christmas ideas, stocking stuffers, all the things, this list might be

the trick. So make sure to drop your favorite affordable item in the comments below because I learned so much

from you guys of what's out there in the world because there's so much. And if you love it,

I want to know about it. All right. First step for me, it's the best is a non-stick skillet.

Listen, I'm telling you, the non-teflon, like, you know, kind that's like horrible for you not that kind but the one that's

like a stone or whatever I don't know I found some on Amazon and I'm telling you it is like the best

thing because we make eggs all the time in my family scrambled eggs and we got 15 years ago almost 16

years ago for our wedding like the nice nice stainless steel. And all of you cooks

out there and I'm like, Rachel, it's because you didn't get it at this temperature and you didn't

put the water droplets in. I don't care. I just have to make scrambled eggs. That's all I need to do in like four minutes. So like I don't have time to be a chef. I just need scrambled eggs. I need to clean that thing quick and I need to go. And legitimately, it's my favorite. So I replace them,

though, probably every like five to six years. clean that thing quick and I need to go. And legitimately, it's my favorite. So I replace them,

though, probably every like five to six years, but it's okay because they're under 50 bucks all day every day. Thank you. All right. Number two is fast phone chargers. So something I learned

recently. Yeah, is that all cords are not created equal when it comes to the charging speed of them.

Didn't know that until about four months ago because I bought new charging cords because I wanted a long cord because if you knew me, you know, I always had one of those that you just set your phone on.

And it's great, but when your phone is like at 5% you got to charge it,

but you still want to be on it, it was very tricky to like hold the phone on the wireless charger thing. It just wasn't good. It got to a point that I was like, oh. And then I had this tiny little cord. And it's like leaning over my bed. I'm like, what am I doing? I'm a grown woman who works. Like I can buy a long phone charger.

So I bought it.

And then I came back to my room like two minutes later. And it was like already 20% charged. And I was like, wait, what? And then it charged so fast. And I was telling my husband about it. I was like, this phone charger was amazing. He was like, yeah, you can get faster charging because of the watts or I don't even, I don't even know. These words I didn't understand, but I had no idea.
