Hey there my frugal friends!
Who knew there’s actually a day dedicated to understanding finances!? 🤑
Lucky for you all, you’re ahead of the curve just by receiving this newsletter.
But of course, if there ever was a sign to take inventory of your financial health, this is it.
(Plus some other freebies to help you save while having fun!)
💰 National Financial Awareness Day is August 14th! Shameless plug: you can listen to the Frugal Friends Podcast for FREE, today and all the days to learn more and feel supported on your financial wellness journey.
🥃 August 16th is national rum day. Seems fitting that it comes after school prep day. Check out your local watering hole for deals, or even groupon for discounts on (or free!) rum distillery tours.
👗 Many thrift stores are also giving additional discounts on August 17th for national thrift shop day. Check out your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, Plato’s Closet, or other thrift store in your area for upwards of 50% off!
🕵🏽♀️ August 19th is National Geocaching Day. For anyone unaware, geocaching is a FREE fun activity that is essentially a treasure hunt for all ages.
Fun fact: Travis proposed to Jen during a geocaching adventure (she said ‘yes’...now they have 2 kids 😉)

Those magical woodland creatures who spread goodness (sometimes with spice and attitude) all while wearing adorable …rags? My (Jill) middle name means fairy so I guess you could say in part, I’m sponsoring this newsletter, but mostly it’s Declutter Hub.
If you’re overwhelmed with clutter in your home and you know getting on top of it would seriously help with your finances, our friends Ingrid and Lesley at the Declutter Hub have a fantastic and fun quiz where you can check out what is your clutter personality. Are you a warm weeper, a kind keeper, a happy heaper, or a nostalgic knee deeper?
It’s time to vote on mugs!! When we launch our referral program you can earn one of these mugs by referring 10 friends to sign up for The Friendletter. Again, these are not the final designs, just the essence of the designs.
