With everything that is going on in the world, saving money has been a priority for many. During the pandemic individuals and families found themselves in a crisis because they did not have enough money to cover their monthly bills. With several areas of employment getting shut down, most were looking for ways to cut back and save what they can.

The Saving Savvy Homemaker lesson explored many options to help those looking for alternative ways to keep money in their pocket. This lesson was taught via video to all 7 counties in the Louisville area. It detailed ideas such as: changing your cable and internet bill, lowering your cell phone plan, how to cut cost at the grocery store, looking at your rate of return from your bank and renegotiating your credit card payments and APR.

Those who attended the class stated that they learned more effective ways to save, and how to talk to their bank about different fees. When asked a few months later over 1/3 said they have saved upwards of $1500.
