Happy Monday frightful friends!
Spooky szn is coming to a close and while I (Jen) am a pumpkin spice girlie through and through, I also probably maybe already have my Christmas tree up. 🎄
But let’s focus back on the present. Tomorrow is Halloween.
If you have kids, you should be mapping out your trunk or treat route today to maximize candy collection.
Facebook Events and Eventbrite will have the most inventory.
No kids? Time to offer to take your sister’s kids for a 30-minute walk and 🍬 tax their incoming candy. 🍬
Also, daylight savings time ends on Sunday. Enjoy that extra hour of sleep as we “fall back” to sunset times at 5:30 PM. Don’t think about it too hard.
Here are some freebies you can look forward to this week.
🕊️ November 1st is the Day of the Dead and All Saints Day. You’re likely to find free events on Saturday like this skeleton processional in Ft. Lauderdale!
💰 November 2nd to 4th is RetailMeNot’s National Cash Back Day. You’ll see their highest cash-back percentages of the year over these 3 days. Brands like Walmart, Booking.com, Groupon, Viator, and more are participating.
🗑️ Trash 🗑️
Last week, Emily shared her Bill of The Week with us on Ep 348. Instead of spending money on a monthly trash bill, she got creative and has committed to reducing her waste and paying her neighbor to share their pickup.
The decision isn’t just saving her the $200ish on a subscription but on all the stuff she won’t purchase because of the incentive to live low waste.
Are you paying for subscriptions you assume are “required?” It may be time to look through your transactions and get creative with not just lowering expenses but eliminating them.
An easy way to see your transactions from all your banks, cards, and accounts in one place is Empower. And you’ll get a $20 Amazon gift card when you sign up here and connect any investment account with at least $1,000 in it.**
