In this lively episode, Richard and Amanda break down why this year’s ads from Home Depot, Walmart, Best Buy, Lowes and others that actually feel worth the buzz. From tools to tech, the savings arereal—and the commentary is sharp. You’ll hear: A no-nonsense take on which retailers are stepping up and which ones are still stuck in the clearance aisle. A frugal intervention for anyone chasing deals at Dollar General (spoiler: don't do it). A reminder that smart shopping means buying what you need—not what the marketing machine tells you to want. A fun detour into trout fishing (with a strong recommendation for Fern Valley on the Soque), tribute band (Purple Madness), and the math behind 50-year mortgages (it doesn’t add up). See other links below. Whether you’re a deal hunter or just here for the banter, this episode blends frugality, humor, and cultural chaos in classic Frugalocity style.
