Welcome to my new series, Q&A Tuesday! Each Tuesday throughout the summer I’m going to take a money/budget/frugal living question from my blog, YouTube, or social media, and answer it live on Facebook!

Don’t you hate it when you buy something, then a short time later see that it’s dropped in price? It’s the worst. While many stores will refund the difference if the receipt brought in within 7 days or so, this is much tricker (or nonexistent) when buying online. I found a company that fixes all…
Happy Tuesday, Freebs! I wanted to do a Q&A post today. As I was scrolling through your incredible questions, I have definitely noticed a recurring theme lately.
