Money Saving Ideas, Room By Room: Episode 350



With rising prices, many of us are looking for big and little ways to cut back on expenses and spend wisely in 2022. Being smart about when, where, and what you buy AND how you use it adds up to make a big difference in your bottom line. Meagan and Sarah are sharing their best, budget-friendly ideas for everything from clothing and toiletries to furniture and decor. Plus, they share a few times where taking the free advice of a professional helped them save big bucks . . . and Meagan talks about poopy laundry. (Gross, funny, but informative!) We’ll be chatting food and groceries next week, but for frugal tips on everything else, this is the episode for you. Enjoy!

    I’m so glad I stumbled across your podcast! I recently listed to episode 350: Saving money room by room. One change my mom recently had installed in her home is automatic lights. The light in her main hallway was constantly being left on so she had an automatic light installed that will turn off within a minute or two of no movement. It also turns on automatically when you walk into the hallway. I want them in all of the rooms in my home! (Well, some of them anyway). I started implementing some of the tips you gave and I’m excited to see what difference it makes.
