Alicia- “Want to share a quick money win. I work from home and have 2 crazy pups. Today, I had a huge presentation for work and couldn’t risk any loud barking during my call. My house is small, so putting them in spare bedroom isn’t an option. The yard also was not an option because that’s their favorite place to bark at every single thing. The old me would have paid $60 for them to both go to daycare. The frugal me cleaned up my garage, put their beds out there and bought a bag of bones from Sprouts for $5.99. They were happy as can be for the 20 minutes of time I needed. It may seem silly, but I wouldn’t have even considered this just a month ago. This group helps me think creatively to solve problems!” #moneywin
