I'm quoted in USA TODAY + Valentine's Ideas

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

​.​

Hi Reader,

I hope you've had a good week since I emailed last.

Mine has been busy but good. I was interviewed by a journalist from USA TODAY last week and appeared in their article over the weekend, talking about grocery prices and how to beat inflation, on behalf of my new blog Easy Family Budgeting.

This is huge for me, I've never been interviewed by such a big news organization!

Valentine's Day is Near

In other news, February is already here and many schools still have a card exchange for students.

If you don't want to buy the commercial Valentine's Day cards, I've got a print at home alternative for you that I created last week with cute animals and phrases.

You can get the 32 Printable Valentine's Day Cards at my store for less than $3 with your Newsletter20 coupon code!

Not sure what to get your significant other? I also created Love Coupons that include 20 different coupons with a variety of fun and romantic ideas.
