In light of groceries, gas, and basically everything else feeling like it costs a million dollars lately, today we’re sharing our best tricks to save a few bucks wherever and whenever we can. Fear not, our tips do not include extreme couponing, but rather handy apps like a few of Ashlee’s favorites: Honey, RocketMoney, and Target Circle, and some of Katie’s hottest hacks like Instacart, carpooling, and meatless meals (why is chicken so expensive?!). Oh, and don’t forget the library (books! movies! free activities! a lovely place to work without the pricey coffee!). Friends, we’re not offering earth-shattering concepts here, but we hope these ideas spark a few new ways to NOT break the bank. We can’t wait to hear your favorite cash saving hacks in the comments!
