Moneda Moves (64): Saving dinero cooking with what you've got š³
Hola, mi gente. Iāve been thinking a lot about food in my kitchen lately. Why, you ask? Hereās one reason: US grocery costs have jumped the most in 46 years. So while our spending may not go to purchasing air travel, experiences or that new bar in town, I knew I couldnāt be the only one watching my spending at the grocery market.
To learn a bit more about how we can manage our food spend, I reached to Dannielle Romoleroux. Sheās the founder of First Gen Money, a financial literacy company that focuses on the first-gen folks, those who are first to graduate from college or build wealth in the U.S. Listen to the latest Moneda Moves episode here, on Apple and Spotify.
Sheās the daughter to Ecuadorian immigrant parents herself, and recently became debt-free, having paid off $26,385 in 26 months. Go Danielle! Sheās also luckily employed, but keeping an eye on her budget. I spoke with Dannielle about how she manages her food spend during the pandemic as a first generation millennial and how sheās learning to Cocinar (Cooking) With What Iāve Got -- a clever name for her new YouTube series.
Take a listen and let me know: How are you cooking with what you've got?
If you're Hispanic, you've probably heard this before: "Hay comida en casa," "There's food at home!" It's definitely something we are reminding ourselves often of during the pandemic.
