The Friendletter

Good morning. 👋 Did you know that this month is International Creativity Month? ✏️ We didn’t, either, but now we’re adopting it as the perfect way to help us on our conscious consumption journeys! This week’s freebies are all about learning. Whether you want to learn Cooking 101 or astronomy’s your thing, there’s a free…

Especially if you’re a millennial, we’re sure you’ve heard so many pieces of advice on how to save money and afford all the things you “should” have by now… You know, those lines that make us roll our eyes, like “if you didn’t buy an oat milk latte every week, you’d own your own home…

Alright, we’ve all been there: you’ve set your New Year’s resolutions, and somewhere between “get fit” and “drink more water” was that classic “earn more money.” But then life gets in the way—work gets busy, Netflix gets distracting, and somehow that side hustle plan is still sitting in your Notes app, forgotten. This year doesn’t…

Happy Monday! This year, we’re all about exploring the world of free activities— and we’re not just talking scrolling through endless social media feeds or bingeing your comfort Netflix show for the 100th time. We’re talking about fun, engaging ways to entertain yourself (and maybe learn something new along the way).   This week, we’re…

Hello and Happy New Year, friends!  We hope you had a fun-filled New Year’s Eve counting down the seconds, living it up, or snoozing (no judgement, because same). You might still be celebrating today, as you should! We just wanted to ensure that you had an email to help center yourself after all the celebrating…

Hi friends! 👋 It’s our last Friendletter of the year (gasp) and we wanted to go out with a bang! 🥳That’s why we’re bringing the ultimate free food to you today.  Two words, friends: FREE Bacon!! Right now, we’re in that weird stage between Christmas and New Year’s Day where nothing makes sense and cooking…

Happy last Friday of 2024, Friend! Is it too soon to start the countdown? We’re just days away from a new year and…New Year’s resolutions! It’s easy to get caught up in the “New Year, New Me” narrative, but we don’t want to feed into the pressure of perfectionism. Instead, we’re moving into 2025 with…

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah Frugal Friends! You’re hearing from the entire Frugal Friends team today! As we wind down the final days of 2024, we all want to share our gratitude for the ways this community has impacted our lives and finances this past year.   We’d love to write you all a handwritten thank…
