The start of a new week means we are steadily chipping away at July (boy, time really does fly) and that means that back to school is officially starting to get closer. For Angi (and I'm sure all of us,) back to school time was always a cause for anxiety as a kid. In today's times though, that anxiety is usually transferred to the parents as school supplies are expensive. For this reason, 3 out of 4 parents are usually seeking work arounds to save money like dumpster diving or stealing supplies from work (both smart imo as in both scenarios, good stuff tends to go to waste.) In fact, Angi's step mom was a loan officer and would steal industrial staplers, yellow legal pads and pens for Angi which is again, a good thing. All together, they end up spending $280 per child so when you have three or four, you're spending the amount Angi does weekly on wine. So since we're looking to save, the Daily Discussion Topic turned into a look at money saving hacks the roadies have. The topic was pulled from Reddit that also gave some fantastic examples like every time you buy something, you need to get rid of something else. While Marris was keen on the concept, Angi said she couldn't do it because if she bought a new jacket, she's still going to want to keep the old one. Use a budget app for impulse purchases. This would drive Angi crazy as she gets anxious spending and looking at a pie chart that showed her how much she spent on DoorDash might make her hit the floor. Use the library for everything from books to movies to tool rental. If you are out with friends, pay with cash so you can take out a certain amount and budget properly. When you go shopping, plan your meals around that so if something is on sale, you can substitute and get that instead of something more expensive. For example, Marris plans around meat (hell yeah brother) and will pivot as needed to save cash (that he then spends on Ninja Turtle crap.) Pack a lunch, as someone saved $35,000 over 12 years. For most people, they can easily save $3,000 a year bringing their lunch from home. Prison Tattoo offered up buying refurb and open box electronics, to which Angi added she has several open box TV's (in her mansion) and they usually come with warranties. Another is to leave stuff in your cart and check back in on it later to see if you still want it. For example, Angi's Amazon cart is filled with trash and Marris has several filled carts on different sites but they don't pull the trigger (because she's usually drunk and he's poor.) Over on the Request Line, Michael said to rotate streaming services. Watch all you want on one, cancel and go to the next. Jason said stop playing the Lotto even though he hasn't. At least Angi curbed her daily scratchie addiction. Head Roadie Troy said to clip coupons and always grab ramen noodles because you can make a ton of things with them. Gary used the "fear of God" to recycle school supplies. Jerry grows his own weed with seeds from the dispensary.
