In this video, my sister, Robin and I "spill the tea" while we drink coffee. We answer frugality questions sent in by viewers. Yes, we're both very frugal, but we DO handle some things differently. Watch the video to find out how we're the same and how we're different. We give frugal living hacks on everything from budgeting basics to how to deal with unexpected expenses. Robin gives some amazing new ideas on how to consistently spend less and save more every single month.

One thing I love being born in Eastern Europe, when we have a family gathering, everyone who comes brings 1 meal of their own. It won’t cost much to just buy napkins, paper plates, plastic cups (which can be washed & reused). Even then, we buy them on sale. As far as food, we just make sure our meal will be supply everyone. Drink just water with a meal. Coffee/tea with someone’s dessert.

I agree. I think she's lovely. Robin hit the jackpot with those red highlights. When we were kids people referred to her as "the pretty girl with the beautiful strawberry blonde hair". As she has gotten older, the red color has become more pronounced. She has never colored her hair, though. It's all natural.

Be a leader in your families. I announced decades ago to family members that there would be no more Christmas presents. I recall one of my nieces rang me the following year that they did the same that particular year and said it was marvelous that they had not wasted time trawling for presents no one really wanted in the first place. Go ahead be a leader.

Home made tortilla are not meant to be as thin as the store bought. They have a different taste and texture. In my home country you will see stands/shops specializing in just selling handmade tortilla. They are for the elite and people that can afford them. Tortilla are meant to be eaten as a bread bun. You eat it to fill up and scoop up any sauces therefore thickness helps scoop up to clear the plate. In the U.S, the store bought tortilla are the norm but in small Mexican U.S stores you will find that they sell the masa by the lb. People buy the store bought because of convenience but will make their own for special occasions. Just a thought so anyone thinking your tortilla are not as thin as the store bought ones. Think about wonder bread v homemade white bread.

@UndertheMedian 9 ай бұрын
The wedding was amazing! Larry was able to go to the rehearsal dinner on Friday and the wedding ceremony on Saturday. He even made it through an hour or so of the reception before he got worn out and our friend took him back home for a nap. He is feeling a little better every day. We hope to have him back in the videos with me maybe by late next week.

drinking black tea, your sister said "if both are the same that would be boring" reminded me of "When two like people marry one is entirely unnecessary." (Money matters) Many times I would remind my hubby how very vital I have been in our 55 yr marriage! lol As for frugal weddings, I paid our minister with a bushel of baby lima beans which I picked the morning of the wedding!

This was a wonderful show, Hope and Robin. Thank you! We homeschooled our 4 children also. It was such a blessing. We also reused curriculum, which helped with the cost. Like Robin, I’ve gone back to work and we are praying financial “catch-up”, in a way. But I wouldn’t trade that time for anything. And yes, Hope, a good cup of coffee is SO important- ! ❤️❤️

I always end up watching these late. I love you and Larry but equally loved you and Robin. I took several things from this episode I will use. As for the budget I love the free MINT app. I’ve used it for years and they keep making it easier and better. I LOVE the bulk website Robin uses. I will definitely do some stocking up. Hope Larry is continuing to improve and hope to see more of you and Robin. BTW, loved the family photos!! Pure gold!

Loved hearing from your sister Robin who is a “ neighbor”( I live in Mississippi). Immediately used her info on buying bulk foods. Also liked hearing how you all are helped by your well-raised grown kids who contribute to the household. I can really relate to hearing that Robin has returned to work as I am considering the same. Agree that Kroger offers some good deals though I wish they were not emphasizing eliminating cashiers as they are. You both inspire me to move more and more to a vegetarian diet, though I’m sure my carnivore husband would never be on board! Wishing Larry a speedy recovery. Sending him our positive thoughts. I can imagine that you all have had a very stressful time (though joyous with the wedding) and pray things will become a bit more routine in the near future!

I love these coffee chats and it is so nice to 'meet' your sister 🙂 I am glad Larry is on the mend and I am continuing to send good thoughts and prayers! My hubby and I also shop at multiple stores. There is one on his way home from work, that is right next to the place we get our dog food from and another one about 4 miles from our house. They both have weekly sales, so we will shop there when the stuff we need is on sale. The other one is a little further out, so we save that one for once a month and go when we are also planning to run into HomeGoods or Michaels, so it is a 'batch' errand. I am almost done with Christmas. I also shop throughout the year, at sales and thrift stores, and have a 'gift bag' in my closet for Christmas and last minute birthday. My mom loves snowbabies and my dad loves anything chicken themed, so they are easy to shop for. My husband usually will tell me what to look for to give his brothers 🙂 I also try to make a spreadsheet of who I am buying for, the amount I am spending on them, what I am thinking of getting and once I get it, I can mark that person off (we see most, if not all, of the people we buy for when we visit my family in VA around Christmas).

Usually we shop year 'round but the pandemic in '20 put us off a number of routines including gatherings and Christmas. '22 had us celebrating after the fact sans stockings and decorations with more of a single, bigger gift. '23 has had us tighter and also preparing for a summer government shut down. About the time we were spending more again we began to prepare for a fall and winter shutdown. The delay will benefit us and we will begin to think about Christmas '23 about the end of this month after covering expenses through December.

What a lovely idea a scavenger hunt ! Very creative ! Recently, I had unexpected car repairs. I was planning for some to take place in November but not in September ! Said goodbye to the Emergency Fund and to even more. But what that experience showed me in Neon Flashing Lights was TIME TO RETURN TO BUDGETING. Yup I had gotten too cocky and decided I just did not need to continue but OH Yes I Do. So here I go back to budgeting

I've gone through times where I got out of the habit of budgeting. I learned my lesson because that is usually when something happens. Don't beat yourself up tomorrow is a new day. You don't have to wait until the beginning of a month to start budgeting you can start it anytime. You will be ready the next time something happens and hopefully not too soon!

Is everybody aware of the red mesh bags in produce at Krogers that sell for $0.99 a bag. They have tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers. A large variety of different produce. I've bought them & have had no problems with any of it. GREAT SAVINGS!!

We love the Kroger mesh bags, too. Although some of the produce at our Kroger in the red bags is a little over-ripe. We still manage to score some really great deals periodically, though.

My husband is the spender most of the time, there is a few times that I might spend money. I am the one that does the budgeting in our house and pay most of bills but my husband is the one that knows how much money is left in the bank all the time, he works and i am a stay at home mom. It is hard trying to get your spouse to be on the same page as you when it comes to spending money.

I make my own chickpea flour flatbread, it’s called Farinata in Italian and Socca in French, it cost Pennie’s to make mix in your favorite herbs. It’s perfect for dinner parties or sharing with friends.

She loves it there. She was in Georgia for 20 years and then moved a little closer to home. It's still a 10 hour drive, but that's better than a 15 hour drive.
