    Jen & Jill….you are my wise and hilarious parasocial guardian angels and your podcast/book helped me change my life!

    I started listening to the Frugal Friends Podcast on January 1, 2025 while putting away Christmas decorations.

    Absolutely love all the wonderful, engaging and helpful information Jen and Jill share. Such a variety of impactful topics, and they make them all engaging while encouraging their audience, rather than shaming them. Was recently teaching a financial literacy class. When asked about podcasts I’d recommend, this is the first one I mentioned!

  • Great find for budget ideas

    I found this podcast a few weeks ago when looking for ways to cut costs. I’ve been binging it ever since. Love the tips and the friendship between the hosts. My favorite so far was a “bill of the week” tip where a listener dig through out paperwork to get her transmission replaced for $200.
