This needs to be part of EVERY financial literacy class. And a really good reality check for audiences starting to get into the coupon/clearance shopping game. Unfortunately, common sense isn’t common and reminders need to be shared across the board. Happy hunting and Conscientious shopping to everyone. ❤️✌️

Rite aid closed 5 or 6 years ago in Georgia. I will admit the prices are higher. However, corporate greed is an issue as well. With that being said, many people are buying new cars and traveling. We will be leaving for our 3rd vacation of the year in December. One thing I know for sure. Donald Trump is not the answer.
@cinsationaldesigns2 ай бұрын
@@nichellw2077everything is tough right now for sure! But you are correct that trump is NOT going to fix it. What I’m reading is that trump plans to raise the tariff - which means other countries raise their prices - and who pays those prices? We do! Corporate greed and the higher ups bragging about how much they are raising their prices are the enemies.

Thank you for the content ❤Everyone needs to do better at becoming mindful of the economy and money. Jobs are being lost, companies going out of business, and prices are rising 😢 couponing should be a way of life if you can do it. Especially at stores like cvs and Walgreens where you can get great deals on deodorant and other items with cash back offers and rewards as well 😊 thank you for all you do

Couponers see the price increases easier than the general public because we do the same deals over and over and have the prices ingrained in our minds. It is bad right now.

It’s super important to not spend money on something you don’t need just because it’s a sale or a deal. If money is tight be mindful of doing a deal it will come around again. My hubby is out of work and we didn’t see that coming so I’m extra cautious now. Thanks for your videos 😊

Yeah, something is cooking and it smells bad Rachel I broke my foot five weeks ago. I’m a waitress. I have been eating on my job at least five days a week for the last year. I am considering going to the food pantry because I’m not making tips I’m getting Worker’s Comp. but that’s only 66% of my pay. I’ve never seen rental prices at what they are and next week I find out if they’re going to destroy my apartment complex to build new more expensive housing yeah something is cooking and I don’t like that smell of it. I’ve never made money like what I make now and I can’t afford to eat. 😢 If I can’t use it I can’t by it …. Food gas house that’s what’s needed 😢 just a little sidenote, and I doubt you ever even see this. You have no idea the amount of times you have literally saved people from being able to have the items they need or not having them at all. You are using your natural born gift of thriftiness, and you are sharing it with the rest of us, and that is one hell of a gift, my dear I know I’m not the only one out here on the struggle bus and I know I’m not the only one who has been grateful for your videos❤

It sort of why I am still waiting tables at 50 I can eat daily usually a really decent meal save that money pay off debt because just because I’m a grandma now doesn’t mean I can’t buy my first home won’t be where I live because property prices are outrageous, but the fact remains over the last 3 1/2 years I have never made the money I make, and I have never paid the prices we are paying Thank you for your encouraging words thing of it is is there there are other people out there who are literally the same shoes and they don’t need to have the shame about it either ❤️ I hope you have an amazing day

The economy is not perfect, never has been. What amazes me is all of the people who can afford NFL football tickets, concerts, resort vacations, abundance of alcohol, jewelry/piecings/beautiful body art, and massive cart-fulls at Sam's and Costco. Who are these people? What do they do for a living? They cannot be the same people floating from place to place. I am very frugal and can say that my households is not stuggling (knock on wood), but it's hard for me to buy into a bad economy when I see so many others spending freely and lavishly.

If no one is paying attention to many other nations working diligently to get out from under the petroleum dollar - they are on the verge of succeeding. Probably within six months.

So I wait until I have rebate money and use it with coupons to make sure I’m not wasting out of my pocket on things I don’t need. I’m focusing on things my family needs or will need and take advantage on sales as long as I have rebate money. That’s how I’m helping myself 🙏🏻
