I love learning from people who paid off a lot of debt. It’s always so interesting to hear what worked for them.

Mary- “I just made my own yogurt today- 1 gallon (128 ounces) worth! If 1 6oz. plain yogurt is about $1 in groceries, I just made roughly $20 worth of it. My family finishes a gallon of yogurt every week, so I save $20 this week. Definitely worth it!” #moneywin
