Ep. 381 Sorta frugal eating and Q&A

CLOUD10
About this episode

This is the ultimate girlfriend chat. Rebekah and Kelly take over the podcast this week, to allow Meg to tend to her hospitalized mother. They asked the Awesomes in the Hangout if they had questions they wanted us to tackle - and as usual, the Awesomes delivered. Expect a few life updates, some honest talk about what they are watching these days and what will happen if/when (we're going with when) the Sorta Awesome team ever meets in person. Then they share their favorite frugal meal tips - including a snack from Kelly that shocked Rebekah - and some recipes that work well to feed your people when you are pinching pennies.
