My husband and I make our own coffee every morning and make our lunches to take to work.
Great money saving habits!! Thanks so much for watching!
What a Beautiful idea!!!. Well done and good luck in your future creating even more cool frugal habits. Xxx
We used to go out on weekends for coffee breaks, but since I became more frugal I realized that making my coffee myself is more delicious and I get to save . It's also a good idea to invite a friend over as well. Times have changed and not everyone is able to go out for a coffee, but they enjoy being invited and I also enjoy being invited for coffee.
So true Bessie! At home coffee always tastes better lol!
I just pretend the restaurants don’t exist.
Smart! Thanks so much for stopping by and watching!
This video was so fun. It's wonderful to have family close by and you interact with weekly. The jello frugal Pin Wheels ??? was so fun to watch. My morning was filled with laughter watching you all! Sure glad I found your video's.
My friend and I used to call this "Going in to eat", lol! What a fun day! Your niece is lovely, and your manicure came out gorgeous!
Perfect name for it! Thank you so much for watching!
Wonderful fry nacho's !! Your niece did a great job on your manicure.
Thank you so much! I will tell her! Thank you so much for watching!
I can watch your videos all day long and all night long lol. You got me addicted to watch ur videos. I have to wake up early in the morning for work but I'm still watching all your Playlist lol
Make sure you get your sleep lol! Thank you so much!
I just adore your videos, you are so confident and creative!!. Keep up your great frugal habits and set new goals for yourself. Thanks a lot xox.
Thank you so much Sarah!! What a kind comment!
I love your channel so so much. You have gotten me through a very rough patch. I wish I could meet you because I would give you the biggest hug. Love to you from NJ.
I would give you the biggest hug back Linda!
Yumm the loaded chips looked amazing! I have been cooking more comfort foods lately as we haven’t gone out for dinner or gotten take away in 3 months so it’s easy to make exceptions when it comes to cooking at home for the less healthier meals sometimes!
Exactly! That’s what we were thinking! Thank you for watching!
For a flavored coffee,use extracts like vanilla,almond,etc in the pot. Or,add a bit of ground cinnamon to the coffee grounds,or pumpkin pie spice. One trick is dollar general black cherry sparkling water instead of plain water gives good flavor,too.
Thank you! Great tips!
Having time with family means so much! Thanks for sharing! God bless!
You are so right! Thanks for watching! God Bless you too!
This was so fun to watch! I loved your guest host :)
Gina thank you so much!! We had so much fun doing it! Thank you for watching😊!
I love how you and your nieceare so close ! Also love all your tips !
Thank you so much!! She is a gift for sure!
Fun, fun to watch your videos Emmy! It’s what I need this days! I’ve been frugal all my live and I’m glad there are many pips out there that share the same values! 👍❤️
So happy you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing!!❤❤
Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Your niece was charming. Can't wait to try the Loaded Nacho Fries. Looks 😋.
Thank you Pam 😋 ! The nacho fries are decadent!
@@FrugalMoneySaver I will be making them in the next week. Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Your niece is such a smart pretty young lady. You are so blessed with a wonderful family that there is no need to spend unnecessary money because everything you need is home. Since the pandemic I also stop getting my nails and hair done. My hair is similar to yours so I just wash and condition it and either have it in a ponytail or Gibson bun. I recently found your videos and I am enjoying all the frugal tips. I was spending so much money without thinking of the future. Now I plan to scrutinize any items before I purchase and make sure if I really need it? And stop using shopping to filled a void in boredom. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Good for you to try and be conscious of your spending! Thanks for watching!
What a hoot. Fun and frugal fiesta.🎆
Yes it was fun! We had such a good time! Thanks so much for watching!
I like your tried and true recipes. Sweet niece!
Thank you! Yeah the pinwheels don't fall into that catagory...lol. Thanks for watching!
This was such a great video, I love the whole idea, of staying home making fun memories as a pose to being out wasting money.
Glad you enjoyed it! It is so much better!
I love it! I recently got a uv light and gel polish to do mine at home, too, and I’m amazed by it. Such a money saver! I also like to make breakfast burritos and put them in the freezer :) just found your channel and I love it! I make cooking videos. Have a great day!
Thank you so much! So glad to have you here! Yes, that UV gel manicure lasted over two weeks. What a great frugal find. Thanks so much for watching!
Congratulations you are now at over 1000 subs great job!😍❤️👍🏻
Thank you so much Debbie! That means a lot to me! Thank you for all your support💕
I love you so much because you are honest.
So kind Linda! Thank you!
Hiya Emmy! Your niece is a smart cookie! She did a great job on your nails too. The frugal fail was funny, lol Those fries though...looked yum! That's nice to have family living so close.
Hey Sis! Always great to hear from you! Those fries were pretty amazing LOL. Yes I am blessed to have my family so close by. Have a blessed weekend my friend!
❤️watching Jan.23, 2023. Great nachos thanks💃
Thanks for watching!
Love those dishes!
Thank you so much! I love vintage dinnerware. They are Homer Laughlin!
What a great video of your staycation day w/ your niece! Such great ideas on things that are fun to do and eat w/o spending lots of $. That is so special that you spend time together. I sure hope when my nieces and nephews are adults they’ll want to hang out w/ me like your niece likes hanging out w/ you.
Yes, she is a true blessing!! Thanks!
Hi there! Really loved the fact you showed that jelly pinwheel recipe/experiment! I just tried a peanut butter keto bar recipe yesterday to see if it would b an acceptable swap for my beloved Atkins bars.. Which I love but oh so expensive here in NZ. And success! I tweaked recipe a bit and perfection! We have to b brave enough to experiment sometimes in the kitchen and in life I think!
Yes, I didn't want to serve them to anyone without us trying them first. Not a win...oh well lol. Thank you so much for watching!
we just love you Emmy! The pinwheels looked tasty because I like the fruit rollup chewy things). My favorite is your gel nails! They look so fantastic. I can wear them about three months then my nails feel sore, so I grow them back out natural from time to time. but this way, the price her manicure must be somewhere less than $10!
You are beyond kind!! Thank you!! Those pinwheels were beyond fruit roll ups. They were like little fruit tires LOL😂. Yes, that little gel kit she had worked wonders!! Thank you so much for watching and all the support!
You are really an angel and I love to see your videos , bringing me always 😁 in a good mood. Funny to see your husband tasting the jellies 😂
😊 thank you so much! You are so kind! Appreciate you watching!
Congrats on your 1000 subscribers 🥳
Thank you so much 😀
Loved seeing your niece. I have a sweet relationship w one of my nieces too. For iced coffee I make a super concentrated coffee (once a week ) w instant coffee, tiny bit of sugar, stevia & optional matcha powder. I use about 1/4 cup of this every day, and add about 1.5 cups of watered down almond milk. (don't tell my husband I've been watering it down!) (-:
Thanks so much Jill!
I laughed sooo hard on that gelatin recipe! I've got to give you credit! You TRIED IT! That's awesome! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
It was like rubber LOL!
I love the meal planning idea of your breakfast and I have done this but I would eat mine in the car while driving.
Thanks so very much for sharing!
Great video Emmy. Your niece is lovely. I have no patience in doing my own nails and feel like I would just make a mess. I need to do something though. :) Right now, I keep mine short and clean.
Short and clean is lovely too! You do what works for you!
FUN video & Great ideas. 😍💖😍
Yay! Thank you Judy! We had fun making it!
I love your videos👌
Thank you so very much Nokwazi!
Loved time with your niece!
Thanks so very much Ana!
Good Morning:) Your niece is a very smart young lady :) I work with many young ladies her age and they spend money at Starbucks every morning :0 :0 so costly!! Your nails look so pretty!! I love that color :) It was so much fun seeing you make this jello :):) Wishing you a great 4th :)
That Jello was a nightmare lol! Thank you so much for the sweet words! Wishing you a blessed 4th as well!
"I will link the recipe down below....it's not terrible" HA What a fun video!
Lol!! Thank you! I figured I’d give you all the opportunity to try it if you really wanted to LOL. Just keeping it real! Thank you so much for watching!
Love your energy!! New sub here 😄
Welcome! so great to have you here! Thanks James!
I think, generally speaking, a lot of people confuse spending money with having a good time, and I think this thinking can be found in every segment of life: clothes, foods, fun activities etc. The sad thing for me personally is that I brought up my son without spending a lot of money. He was used to go to our local libraries, watch movies at home, home-cooking (every single day apart from maybe birthdays), be creative with what we already had at hand or just go out into nature and enjoy himself! Now he is 17 and suddenly his personal contentedness depends on money, can you believe it? He often says he can't do XY, because he doesn't have the money for it, but when we talk about it and I show him ways he can do something similiar without spending a cent, he doesn't want to hear it. I hope it's just a phase he will grow out of...
I so agree there is a definite correlation between what people regard as fun and money being spent. Thanks so much for watching!
Great video
Thanks my friend 😊!!
You made a yoga mat 👏 i hate waste 😒 the frys look great 👍 👌
Thanks Alison!!
It was fun watching you with your niece! She did a great job on your nails. She needs to come to SC & do mine! The nacho fries looked delicious (but i’d hold the sour cream since neither of us eat it) and the ‘fail’ isn’t necessarily a fail,. I’m thinking kids would probably love it!
Thank you so much!! Hope you and Danny are well! Have a blessed weekend!
Frugal Money Saver We’re doing good! Hope you & Paulo are too! Have a blessed weekend!
Yeah the rubbery fruit roll up wouldn’t work for me. I am sensitive to food textures. But it was fun watching you make it. Glad to know I’m not the only one with food fails from time to time. 😂
Chloe you would of not enjoyed it at all...LOL!! So rubbery!!
After making salsa from scratch, I could never go back to the stuff in jars...... I't's so easy to make and so much better
Thanks!
A coffee hack I wanted to share with you is to add a light sprinkle of cinnamon to the coffee basket before brewing. Makes an economical specialty 'Viennese' style coffee. Nice in cooler months if you like cinnamon! (Still catching up on your videos! Lol!)
Thanks for sharing!! Sounds so good Christopher! Thanks for watching the older videos! Appreciate it so much!
How fun! I wonder if chopped pretzels would be good in the pinwheels? I am keto but maybe for the grandkids.
Those pinwheels were so odd...LOL Thanks for watching!
You need to add more water and beat it with a electric hand mixeer/beater. Its 2 cups of water to amount of jello you used. We use to make this when I was a kid. Can just put it in a bowl too. Also, add one container of cool whip fold in if you put in bowl.
Yeah it was a total fail lol!
Your niece is sweet to come for a visit and share her frugal tips. What a nice gel manicure-your hands look lovely. Is the texture of the Jello pinwheels like gummy worms?
Thank you so much Jeanne! You are always so kind! The pinwheels are a bit like gummy worms even chewier though...if you can believe that lol!! Thanks for watching!
What a great day it seems you had with your niece!
Maybe you weren't supposed to melt the marshmallows into the Jello....I don't really know. But I ALWAYS love your posts! Love you, too!
Yes, she is such blessing!! Thanks so much for watching Jonna!
@@FrugalMoneySaver You're so welcome! Thanks for posting!
My husband got me a 60 piece full sized mixed lot of nail polish off ebay for $50,including shipping.might be a good holiday idea.they have many bulk lots,as well as actual makeup.you dont choose what you get.its a random assortment.
Thanks for sharing!
I make my coffee everyday at home. I went to Washington and had 1 cup of coffee through a Starbucks kind of shop. I didn’t even drink it all because it wasn’t good.
It's amazing how homemade tastes so much better...even when it comes to coffee lol!
I love your videos!! Another good one -- I do have one question for your niece - The gel nails look great and I like them but does she have any good tips for gently removing the polish? Thank you --
I stopped the gel because taking it off was such a nightmare. I can ask her though.
Im still watching and catching up. I have a question. Do you get credit if people on cell phones watch the ads? I heard somewhere that you dont but that doesnt sound right. I wasnt watching the ads because of that but you put ao much into the videos that I want to make sure you get at least the littl bit of ad revenue. I'll watch on my computer if it makes a difference. Thank you so much.
It's great to see your niece making good choices at such a young age!
I would believe no matter what device you are watching on as long as you watch the ads we get credit! Sheila that is so kind of you! Thank you!
@@FrugalMoneySaver You are so sweet Emmy! It's the least your subscribers can do. You and Paul have the best advice. I've watched alot of frugal youtubers and some of them are really good. Still ya'll have struck a cord that inspires much more than the rest. I really feel like I'm hearing from a friend when watching your videos. You're straight forward and encouraging. Your compassionate but dont mince words. Whatever "it" is, you have it!
What a fun video and a treat to meet your niece, she's a smart girl!! My daughter spends a couple of hours on Sunday afternoons meal prepping and making ice coffee for her upcoming week, she says she can eat so much better (and spend way less $$$) making it herself. I can't wait to try those loaded fries!!
Blanche you have one smart daughter! A little bit of prep work goes a long way! Thanks so much for watching!
Me hubby drink two cups coffee day I buy wegmend brand half caffeine five dollars ninety nine cents we love taste and moremounzes in wegmend then maxwell house or folgers so we seniors mi buy two cans twelve dollars last just about month
Sounds like you got a great deal! Thanks for watching!
Would your niece be up to doing a slow video on the nails. We're they put on top of your own nails, which I have none. When they grow out how to take gel off ect. Thanks
They are not fake nails. It is just a gel nail polish that goes over your own nails. You remove the gel polish with a special nail polish remover that is specifically designed for gel nail polish.
Hi Emmy, Can you share what you use for washing dishes such as the soap and scrubbers. I treated myself to Joyce Meyer Sponges and the occasional Scrub Daddy but they are not cheap.
Love your user name by the way lol! I use Palmolive Ultra Antibacterial dish soap to wash my dishes! I wait until it goes on sale and stock up. Love that stuff lol. I use regular Scotch Brite non scratch sponges. I am actually looking into the dish cloths with the scouring sides so I can wash them and reuse. I have to be honest not a fan of washing my dishes with cloths though...How did you like Mrs. Meyers? I'd really like to know. I am always soooo tempted to try it when they come out with their autumnal scents but I have resisted thus far lol!
Silly me, they are Debbie Meyer sponges....I guess that there is a Joyce Meyer. LOL. The sponges are amazing, they last a long time and stay fresh and the scrubber side is great for cast iron stick on mess. My mom used Palmolive Original Green. I love it too and try to stay away from Anti-Bacterial stuff because of my dry well. I love hand washing dishes, it is relaxing and I don’t like the idea of a dishwasher.
A frugal tip to add to this video would be:
If possible, trade services. For example:
If you are a hair stylist offer a hair cut in exchange for something else..like someone who mows lawns....
If you know a mechanic...ask if he would work on your car in exchange for something other than money; like some cooked foods or laundry or ironing. What about sewing...
Lets say your trade is bookkeeping.. He can give your car a tune up or oil change while you do his taxes.
Just a thought.
Thanks for sharing!! More great ideas!
And when the gel nails grow out how do you do it
They are not fake nails. It's just gel polish over your own nails. You remove it with gel nail polish remover.
I am really interested in doing gel for my nails. Can you use it on your toenails too? It seems worth the investment
I've never used it on my toes honestly lol!
The nacho fries look delicious and your nails look great. As for the pinwheels, children would probably like them because they eat those gummy worms 🤪 which I don’t like the texture of.
It was a fud day for sure!
DID YOU DRY AFTER THE TOP COAT?
Yes. You have to dry after each coat if it is gel polish
I really wish I had been as wise as your niece at her age! When I was young, if there was money in the account (after rent, utilities, etc were paid) it was money to spend! I was much better than I could have been but I look back and think how much more money I could have saved in my 20s that would now have had 3 decades to grow in investments!
So very true! She is an amazing saver!
This video made me. 😊
I am going to be doing another with her this week!
:)
Thank you Rosy!
I got my nails done three times in my life.first time,ripped my nails off.
Second time the fake nails came off within an hour.not salons fault.i have a weird genetic thing.fake lashes and nails will not stick.
Third time,almost lost both hands due to a horrible infection.nope.that aint for me,clearly.its cheaper,and more hygienic to do salon treatments yourself at home
Oh gosh, sorry to hear!
Honesty! It's awesome! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
