Free Friday - October 16, 2020

  

Making small changes that have big results. 

On Friday’s I share a few frugal ideas to help you maintain The Sweet Life on a Budget along with my money saving deals.  Although I do not advocate shopping at a large number of stores during this health crisis, if you are going to a particular store that has a deal- just pick it up too.    Knowledge is power.   




** Please think of others during this time.   If you are able to pick up the FREE or Low Price items and do not need it for your family, think about donating these items to the FOOD BANK(S) in your area.    There has been a lot of press lately about how the food banks are concerned about the holday season approaching and not having enough items to help others.   Thank you for considering doing this.
