How I grocery shop + stock up on a budget! (My best grocery shopping tips!)
Happy STOCKTOBER everyone! The last week of August, just before #Shelftember started, I did a grocery shopping trip. Before putting all the groceries away I thought “…this may come in handy in October, I’ll record this.” I’m so glad I did!

How to pay off debt and still LIVE a little! | Q&A Tuesday

Where do I even start with budgeting?? | Q&A Tuesday
Happy summer, Freebs! As you can imagine, I get hundreds of comments, messages, and emails asking me for personal financial advice. Many of the questions are amazing, and many of them are the same!

Simplest Budgeting Method EVER! + FREE printables! (Updated, new, and improved!)
5 Years ago I sat down at my kitchen desk, turned on my computer’s (horrible quality front-facing) camera, and recorded (on impulse) my simple budgeting method; how I track my weekly budget using an envelope.

How to stay motivated (…and motivate your spouse!)
Raise your hand if you absolutely LOVE BUDGETING!! (…awkward cough…) Right. Exactly my point. I don’t really know anyone who thinks budgeting and cutting back on spending is super duper fun.
