Frugal Friends

Howdy friends & Happy Hump Day! March is on the way, spring is in the air, and the birds are singing again 😍  As a Minnesotan, I’ve gotta say that this winter has been weird. No snowstorms, hardly any ice, and in the 50’s in February?! It’s unheard of! 🤠 I’m almost a little afraid…

Haaaaaappy Monday, friends!  Despite February’s extra day, it feels like this month has flown. Anyone else? 🙋‍♀️ Gif by pudgypenguins on Giphy Maybe you’re feeling the opposite – that this month has slowed to a crawl because you’re considering the Leap Day tradition of women proposing to their partners on the 29th! If that’s the…

Happy last February Friday, Friends! Thanks to the leap year, we had a little extra time to make some major money moves this month. Let’s keep that momentum rolling into March! ✊ As the days grow longer, I find myself saying yes to more activities that stretch the budget. Ice cream date? 🍦 Sure! Cute new top…

Hiii Friends!  We may be four weeks away from the Spring equinox, but I’m remembering Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction of an early Spring this year, and I refuse to believe he’s wrong! 🙅‍♀️ I know, I know, groundhog data isn’t the most accurate source of information, but regardless, I (Misti) am already thinking of Spring activities. …

Happy Monday, Friends! No Monday blues over here this week—I, Misti, (one of the new writers, formally introduced below :)) am too busy planning my National Margarita Day (February 22) celebrations! 🍹 Whether you like your margs salty, sweet, spicy, or even as a mocktail, margaritas are always a fun way to mix up a…

Hey there! It’s finally Friday!!!  Does anyone else go into the weekend with the best of intentions, ready to meal prep, clean, go for a walk, and do your bills… …aaaaand suddenly it’s 7:00 p.m. on Sunday and you’re elbow deep in cheese puffs and shouting at the Food Network? 🙋‍♀️ Between decision fatigue and…

Happy Wednesday, frugal besties!  Are you still with me after Mardi Gras last night? I hope so, because 2024 isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. After all, we just got hit with back-to-back holidays! That’s right. Today is the most romantic day of the year. ❤️ Whether you plan to sit at home and…

Hello, frugal friends! Love is in the air this week, and we’re here to give you permission to embrace the season for what it is. 💗 The one time of year that you can buy an absurd amount of chocolate and watch the cheesiest rom-coms. We think Valentine’s is a seriously underrated holiday, and to…

Happy Friday, my friends! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Last week, we chatted about meal planning, and while that practice is a game changer, when paired with meal prep, we’re nearly invincible. We can have the planning part down BUT if the execution is poor we’re gonna end up eating out and wasting food.  Now, don’t get us wrong, when…
