Tuesday Coffee With John Willis, Nicole Sauce and Jack Spirko - EP 1024

Today we’re talking about busting through analysis paralysis and, of course, all our usual Monday segments.

Dollar Tree was the usual first stop. The drink product mix is shifting, but stock levels remain excellent. The online price of a 2x4x8 stud at Home Depot is still $3.85. Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted, but my preferred chocolate has gone up again to $2.69.

Frugality Tip No listener tips this week—send yours to nicole@livingfreeintennessee.com! Nicole’s Tip: Audit your insurances annually. I’m doing that right now and it’s one of those boring-but-worth-it money wins. Operation Independence Update on the GSD weekend! Huge thanks to Valerie, Lynne, Tracy, Steve, Bryan, Tactical, and Knighthawk—and of course Bob, who we tried to kill. It was a solid weekend of getting things done and building community.
