    76: Buying in Bulk - Cost Savings or a Catastrophe

    If buying more means using more, are we actually saving money or accelerating consumption while filling our homes with stress? Do you subscribe to the mindset of buying in bulk - does it save you time and money? Or are you a person who believes in only buying what you need? Jen and Courtney are here to discuss the pros and cons of buying in bulk and what it may mean for you and your home.   A study by Pierre Chandon and Brian Wansink found that when consumers stockpile products, they are more visible and convenient. This mentality of convenience creates a mentality of availability and often increases how often and how much a person uses the item. Their study found that people tend to consume products faster when they have larger quantities on hand - simply seeing excess inventory increases psychological permission to use more. Listen in as Courtney and Jen discuss their personal experiences with purchasing in bulk and how it impacts their home and their mentalities. Tell us how you feel about buying in bulk. Do you feel that it is helpful or more harmful for you and your family? #bulk #buyinginbulk #savemoney #mentality #mindset

Listen in as Courtney and Jen discuss how meal planning can help reclaim your time and money.   The average family can spend $40 - $125 eating out for one meal.

Jen has found how meal planning can take the stress out of meal preparation, and she shares how this new strategy has saved her family money as well. On average, each planned meal is $15 per meal, or $3.64 per serving.    Using the R.E.C.L.A.I.M. process, Jen has found success in planning and preparing multiple meals at once - saving time and money in the process. If you want to reclaim your time and money while eating well balanced meals, listen in.   #reframe #mealplanning #savemoney #reclaim #time
