UPDATE: The free month of Hulu has been retired but now they've lowered the price to $5.99 per month 🙂
If you've been wanting to cut cable to save money and try out Hulu as an alternative – now is a GREAT time to do it! Hulu just lowered their price to only $5.99/month (was $7.99 per month). This comes on the heels of the Netflix price hike – and is a good alternative to the popular streaming service.
*NEW* if you've been hearing about Disney Plus coming out this Fall – you know it makes lots of sense to have Hulu now.
Disney owns Hulu and they'll be starting their own streaming service in November of 2019. They've already mentioned the possibility of a Disney Plus Hulu package deal – which would make great sense for lots of families! Since Disney has pulled their Disney movies, Star Wars movies, and basically all of their programming from Netflix, I foresee the Disney Plus + Hulu combo to become a super popular choice in the near future.
Best part? Disney Plus will only cost $6.99 per month!
This is a chance to check out Hulu's fantastic lineup of shows and movies. (I have to admit – I've LOVED having Hulu ever since signing up back in November!)
There's also a great lineup of kids shows, including nostalgic classics like Duck Tales (from back when we were kids) 🙂
Hulu with No Commercials – $11.99/month afterwards
or
Hulu TV with Limited Commercials – $5.99/month – this is a nice deal as it's regularly $7.99 per month!)
If you've had Hulu before, I'd love to know if you've been pleased with it!
If you're curious about other ways to cut cable and save money, go HERE to find four more ways to ditch the cable bill too!

The FabFitFun Fall Box is here and I've got a fun new coupon code to share! New customers can get $10 off their first box with code SUMMERLOVIN! That makes a box just $39.99, which is AMAZING considering you get over $200 worth of products.
Check out what came in my Fall 2019 box in the pic above!
Y'all – FabFitFun is a subscription box like no other. It only comes four times a year and when it does, it's packed to the brim with 7-10 high-end full size beauty products, trendy accessories, and other fabulous spendy finds. (I checked the prices online of each item, and they legitimately would cost you over $200 ~ crazy!)
I just opened the FabFitFun Fall Box yesterday on Facebook Live and OH MY GRACIOUS…. there were so many great things inside! But I think my FAVORITE was the Kate Spade Lunchbag…. or maybe the Buffalo Check Scar that I turned into a table runner…. I honestly can't decide!
These first 3 items should be in EVERYONE's boxes:
Annual subscribers will have the option to customize these – seasonal subscribers will get one as a surprise 🙂
Annual subscribers will have the option to customize these – seasonal subscribers will get one as a surprise 🙂
These FabFitFun Boxes are shipped in Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. At $39.99 (after coupon code) it would make a really nice gift, especially for someone that lives far away.
If there are a couple items in your box that aren't quite “you” (I'm still not sure about those earrings….) you can stash them in the gift closet, and save for birthdays!
Fun way to treat yourself!
I've tried FabFitFun and while I didn't go into it expecting to love it – I TOTALLY DID. Since the box cost me $39.99 after using the $10 OFF code I COMPLETELY feel good about this box, and am excited about getting another box! (See my FabFitFun Box review here)
If you’re interested in trying out Fab Fit Fun, head HERE to sign up. The picture of my box above was my first Fab Fit Fun Box, and while I did’t use all of it, I did love a LOT of it, and the items I didn't keep I gifted to my nieces and sisters this Christmas ~ perfect!

ESPECIALLY with school starting – whew!
Need some ways to save on back to school shopping? We're sharing our SMARTEST tips and tricks for saving money on school supplies, clothes shopping and more!
The first day of school is almost here (and already is here for some of us!) – which means things are about to get EXPENSIVE.
Not only are we shopping for new school clothes, backpacks and shoes, but we're also buying school supplies galore! Tack on the fees for various class needs, sports, band, honor's classes, etc… and we're looking at a serious season of spending.
But there are actually LOTS of little ways to save on back to school shopping – here are our 13 best tips!
This one sounds like a no-brainer but it's a good idea to take inventory of what you already own before setting out to buy new things. The kids might say they need a new backpack, or zipper binder, when in fact they've just misplaced theirs in the back of the closet or under the bed.
And do you remember that tub of clearance school supplies you got last Fall? Probably not! Make sure you haven't stashed any items away for later and forgotten them.
I've purchased unnecessary school supplies waaaaay too many times to count, because I was following the generic supply list put out by the school district. While this grade-specific supply list is generally what kids will need for school, it's really a collection of items most teachers tend to put on their lists. For the REAL list of what your child's teachers want them to bring to school, wait until the first week of school when your kiddos will bring home a list that includes more specific items.
If you're like me though, and like to get a head start, you can pick up the basic supplies that are always needed: Notebooks, Folders (different colors for each class), #2 pencils, pens, and filler notebook paper.
Every year Walgreens puts out a selection of backpacks for $3.… and Walmart beats them with an even BETTER selection for only $2.77. You can see the available backpacks here – but keep in mind these are on the smaller side appropriate for elementary children.
If you're looking for a great deal on a larger, sturdier backpack, here are the BEST deals on Backpacks for School happening right now!
FabKids.com is a great site for snagging really trendy kids shoes and outfits – but they're ALSO running a special right now to get 2 Pairs of Kids Shoes for only $10 SHIPPED.
This is completely legit – I've done it myself as have a couple ladies on the PPP Team. Just head over to my post here for more details!
Have you snagged our FREE Back to School Cheat Sheet? Every week it gets updated with the LATEST prices around town for all the school supplies you're searching for! You can get yours HERE!
This is really one of my FAVORITE things we do every year here on PPP – it takes SO MUCH frustration out of looking for the best deal, and puts all the cheap school supplies deals together in one easy place!
You can also compare all the sales with this back to school deals comparison tool here 🙂
Waiting for tax free weekends is a great idea when you're shopping for some bigger ticket items like a new laptop, a pricey backpack, basketball shoes, etc… Check out our list of Tax Free Weekends State by State to find out when yours is happening so you can plan ahead!
Old Navy's $3 and $4 Polos are legendary – and they usually go on sale RIGHT before school starts. Children's Place is also know for great uniform sales, and Walmart is a good standby for inexpensive polos and pants as well. Here are some more great uniform sales happening at the time of this posting:
Sometimes shopping online can save you more than leaving your house… Why? Stores often put out online codes that are BETTER than the deals happening at brick and mortar locations.
For instance – right before school this year, Target put out a code for $40 Off a $100 Purchase of Dorm Room items. (Rugs, lamps, bedding, etc…) The same code was NOT available if you were shopping in the store. (I know… I tried it) On top of this HUGE discount, Target Redcard members could save an additional 5% OFF and get FREE Shipping!
(See why we think the Target Redcard is a killer way to save – especially if you get the Debit Cart instead of the credit card. Sign up HERE to get a BONUS $40 off $100 Coupon right now!)
Thrift stores might not be the first things that comes to mind when you're thinking of ways to save on school shopping, but don't underestimate the treasures you can find there! I've found soooo many great name brand items there that my kids love – brands that normally I wouldn't have splurged on at a retail store. A Ralph Lauren Polo for $2.50? Yes please! A LuLu Lemon Jacket for $4? Absolutley!
Beyond name brands – thrift stores can be great places to snag uniforms and backpacks, shoes and belts. Get more tips in my 12 Secrets to Saving at Goodwill.
Many schools will hold clothing swaps at either the end of a school year or the beginning of one. It's a great way to clear out the clothes your child has outgrown and pick up some nice things from someone else. You can check with your school or local church to see if there's a clothing swap coming up. OR if you are part of a church group or mom's group, you may want to try to arrange a clothing swap of your own. 🙂
Many outlet malls carry name brands at big discounts – all year round. but you can save even more with special coupon offers right around back to school time! For instance – Tanger Outlets currently is offering an extra 25% OFF through the end of August. Premier Outlets has a VIP club that offers special promotions as well.
See all our tips for saving at outlet malls here!
Although this savings tip won't come in time for the first day of school – it's still one of my favorite ways to save on back to school shopping!
It's common for stores to mark down their backpacks and other school supplies just a few weeks after school starts. If you (or your kids) can hold on that long you can score up to 70% OFF name brand backpacks and more! Other stores wait longer for the serious school supply markdowns – and in those cases just buy ahead for next year.
This is one of the lesser known ways to save back to school shopping – but it's a good one!

When you're new to Keto it's incredibly helpful to have a keto shopping list on hand so you know what to look for in the store. I was so impressed with the variety of Keto supplies at Aldi – here's a list to help you find all the best Aldi Keto goodies!
Jamie here! I first started Keto on January 9th 2019 – and as of today I am *still* (knock on wood!) really happy with my progress. I've lost 8 inches in my waist (woohoo!) and am down 37 lbs. I feel so much better in general!
Some of you have been following my progress from the first week I went Keto ,to the third week, when I found the comfort of sugar-free sweets 😉
So my latest update is a little bit different – I wanted to help all you Aldi shoppers by sharing some of the AWESOME Keto-friendly foods I found at Aldi! Keep in mind I'm “dirty” Keto – so what might be fine for me, maybe not be right for you 🙂
There are lots of things you THINK might be Keto (and aren't) which are a huge bummer. But there are also several hidden Keto-friendly items you may not have considered! Here are lots of Keto Diet-friendly foods you can find at Aldi (Please note that some of the processed foods mentioned below are not recommended more than once in awhile. Take that for what it's worth!)
I can't even tell you HOW MUCH CHEAPER cream and butter are at Aldi than Walmart, Target, and other stores! I love picking up staples like this at my Aldi 🙂
Aldi has SO MANY KINDS OF CHEESE!! And it's all pretty inexpensive. Cream cheese to Irish Cheddar – you could go crazy on stocking your fridge with tons of cheese varieties!
I felt like their cheese deserved two mentions you know? Because really Aldi has THREE cheese sections. There's the regular bags of shredded cheese, then there's the fun kinds next to the lunchmeat section, and THEN there's a third area you can find cheese… the specialty section! Look for a special case that usually houses hummus, guacamole, etc… You'll find hard cheeses and seasonal cheeses that will make your Keto heart happy 🙂
Aldi has the best price in town on eggs – and if you're doing Keto, there's a good bet you're going through more eggs than normal.
This is a recommended grass fed butter and it's SUPER EXPENSIVE some places – but just $3.59 at Aldi 🙂
Ghee is an ultra clarified butter – and it's even MORE SUPER EXPENSIVE at some places – but not too bad at Aldi!
Avocados are a good source of healthy fats and lots of Keto folks love to incorporate them into their daily meals. I think the week I was shopping, avocados were only 59¢ each! This varies widely by region and season – but it's a good bet you'll find a nice deal there 🙂
While I will never be fooled into thinking cauliflower with cheese is macaroni and cheese – some people are better at pretend than me 😉
I actually go through a lot of mushrooms to add an extra texture to my omelettes, meat dishes and soups.
Blueberries, Rasberries, Strawberries and more are available seasonally at Aldi. While lots of fruits have too many carbs to eat much of, berries are a bit more Keto friendly
When you're trying to go grain-free (part of the Keto diet) – eating corn fed beef kind of defeats the purpose. If you're looking to switch over to grass-fed beef, Aldi has their own Simply Nature brand that is pretty affordable!
So maybe you're not all the way grass-fed, Aldi still has you covered with a nice variety of pork, beef, chicken, ground turkey, and more! I have heard people say they don't buy their meat at Aldi – but I have no idea why. I've bought chicken, beef, turkey and roast there a number of times and it's always been great!
Look for Salmon as well as other fresh and frozen fish – varies seasonally.
Are you even Keto if you don't buy your pack of bacon every week?? (Just kidding!) Aldi carries a few different types of bacon – some more fancy, and some that are really inexpensive. Check the back of the package to make sure there are no sugars added in the flavoring process!
These are one of my favorite lunches, along with some green beans! I slice them diagonally into medallions and fry them up with some frozen green beans. Yum! I believe they only have 2 carbs per link.
Switch things up a little with this one!
I like to make my own little pizzas on my almond flour coffee mug bread – so I like to have pepperoni in the fridge always 🙂
Some people love salami – I'll admit I've NEVER had it but if you need some – they have it!
I WISH!! Haha – just checking to make sure you were paying attention 😉
So many people told me about these things I had to buy a couple boxes! They're only 2 grams of carbs each – but I have to admit, I don't love them. If you're in a pinch though, they'll work!
Not a fan! Moving on…. (But I mean they are cheaper here than some places….)
One of my favorite snacks to grab (and they go well with guacamole or keto-friendly salsa too!)
Aldi has LOTS of nuts – including roasted and salted varieties, and raw varieties. They're SO much less than my local grocery for a big bag. Pecans are my favorite for Keto – they have lots of fat, medium amount of protein, and the lowest carb count I've found yet!
These are only 2 carbs per tub!
I got SO excited when I saw these white cheddar puffs – I totally thought they were going to be like Moon Cheese. But ALAS!! They're made with rice flour or some such nonsense 🙁 Don't be fooled!
I love snacking on briny olives with little sharp cheddar cheese cubes – and Aldi has a few varieties of jumbo stuffed olives as well as plain ones! Plus if you're a pickle person, or need the juice to cure your Keto Flu – they've got you covered!
They come in little squeezy bottles for on the go – or mix in powders. Either way, if you're getting tired of water it's a nice change!
Lots of people also recommend drinking Gatorade or Powerade Zero during their first couple weeks of trying Keto. It replenishes electrolytes to help stave off the Keto flu! I drank a Powerade Zero a couple times in my first week and my second week, and never got the Keto flu!
I drink a lot of coffee on Keto since I'm mixing my MCT Oil and Collagen into it each morning. (I have to space out my scoops over a few cups) The Aldi Fair Trade coffee is so good and it's only around $3.50 per bag!
Lots of Keto Recipes sub out noodles, rice and more with Riced Cauliflower. Aldi has large bags for under $2!
Now that we have to stay away from sugar, get your stevia for your morning coffee! Although for baking and bigger recipes – you'll probably want to order Swerve or Monkfruit sweeteners 🙂
I know this list isn't exhaustive by any means – but I hope it helps you make your Keto shopping list before you head to Aldi! And guys – I would just LOVE to hear about some of the Keto friendly items you normally grab at the store. Leave me a comment below and I may go try out your suggestions!
Also check out my Amazon Keto Favorites in this post here!
