Feeling overwhelmed with summer chaos, constant snacks, and skyrocketing grocery bills?

In this episode, we’re doing a little mid-summer mental health + money check-in for moms, and I’m sharing my favorite strategy to save $100 (or more) this week without sacrificing dinner plans.

I’m walking you through a simple but powerful challenge: Shop the Shelf. You’ll learn how to use the food you already have at home to plan meals, cut waste, skip the store, and instantly reduce your spending.

Whether your fridge feels empty or your pantry is overflowing, I’ve got tactical tips (and easy meal ideas!) to help you stretch what’s already in your kitchen.

Plus, I’ll share how this challenge helps members inside Money Mom Club save hundreds, and totally transform the way they think about meal planning.

Is Costco secretly blowing your grocery budget?

In this episode of the Money Mom Podcast, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on Costco—and how I went from being obsessed with bulk shopping to rethinking my entire approach to grocery spending.

If you’ve ever walked into Costco for one thing and walked out $400 later, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. And today, I’m breaking down:

• Why Costco might be costing you more than it’s saving
• The real reason bulk buying isn’t always budget-friendly
• How food waste and impulse buys add up fast
• What to do if you love Costco but want to spend less
• My favorite alternatives that save time and money

Whether you’re a die-hard Costco fan or wondering why your grocery budget keeps creeping up, this episode will help you shop smarter—without the shame.

🎧 Let’s talk strategy, savings, and shopping with intention.
