Begin the week well: a Monday Money Motivation Crockpot meal plan, a quick podcast, BOGO Pizza, deals for college students, & more!

Begin the week well: a Monday Money Motivation Crockpot meal plan, a quick podcast, BOGO Pizza, deals for college students, & more!

It’s a rainy Monday here in the Queendom, but I’m making the most of each minute this morning and setting the tone for the week ahead. Here are my favorite resources and deals of the day.

FREE Crockpot Meal Plan

I’m working through my $50 Crockpot ALDI Meal Plan to pull some meal plan ideas for the week. This morning, I’m keeping it simple by tossing some frozen green beans in a small crockpot and some frozen chicken breasts in another. If you’re looking to save money by using your crockpot (great idea!), check out these posts:

  • How You Can Save Money With Your Crockpot
  • How to Save the Most Money on and With Your Crockpot

Speaking of meal planning, don’t forget to use my All New: FREE Printable Meal Planner You Can Edit to get things in order this week. I just did the same myself. AND if you don’t know where to begin, I’d recommend checking out Easy Back to School Meal Planning Hacks for some ideas.

Debt Slaying Encouragement

  • Should You Stockpile While Paying Off Debt?
  • Why We Didn’t Default on Our Student Loans

Best Debt Free Video of the Week

I LOVE this fun music video from Caitlin Boston who paid off over $222k in debt over 10 years. Heads up that some of the music has some language so earmuffs or headphones may be required.

Listen to a Quick Podcast

One of my favorite podcasts to record was this one with Audra Haney on the 5 Minute Mom Podcast. We talked Financial Foreplay and paying off debt while raising kids. It’s less than 30 minutes, too.

B1G1 Pizza!

If you need a little extra help when it comes to dinner tonight, don’t miss the opportunity to save on pizza from Papa Murphy’s. You can get a FREE Large Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza when you buy any Large or Family Size Pizza. Order online and use the code BOGO.

Target Car Seat Trade-In

Target has a Car Seat Trade-In Event coming up soon! September 3 – 13th, you can bring in a car seat and get a coupon good for 20% off a new car seat, stroller or select baby gear. Heads up though, the coupon is only good through September 14, 2019 so you’ll want to use it before it expires. Check out the details here.

Deals on College Gear

Know a student heading back to campus? Today only, snag some Amazon deals on collegiate gear. PLUS, Don’t miss my posts with ways to save when it comes to college:

  • How to Save Money on College Expenses
  • 5 Ways to Save Money on College Textbooks

Mondays set the tone for your entire week. Take things by the horns and get organized this morning! I know you can manage your money well this week. Achieving goals is all about what you do in the small moments of the day. The grand accomplishments sometimes seem to outweigh the mundane. And the peak moments of life rank higher in our hearts and minds. But the tiny moves you make – meal planning, balancing the checkbook, looking ahead on the calendar – pay off in spades or even better in debts disappearing.

Come back every Monday for the motivation you need. I’ll be here dishing it out and ready to encourage you to take a tiny step toward financial health.

Our new book Your Money, Your Marriage is now available! Be sure to check out videos on managing money together on Facebook.

Check out Cherie Lowe, the Queen of Free for the best money saving and debt slaying tips!
