Frugal Friends Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Frugal Friends! Every episode is full of helpful tips and realistic advice that make managing money feel doable, not overwhelming. The hosts are honest and relatable, and I always leave feeling inspired to take better control of my finances. It’s a great listen for anyone who wants to save more, spend smarter, or just feel more confident with money.”

I found this podcast in 2022 because I was looking for ways to save money and cut expenses. I listed to a couple of current episodes, then went back and binged the entire podcast from episode 1. I listen to it so much that my husband now recognizes Jen and Jill’s voices and loves to refer to them as MY frugal friends. These ladies talk about finances for every day people, which is refreshing because most personal finance podcasts focus on high net worth, large portfolio people. They inspired me to become a CFP, and we finally have a handle on our finances through putting values based spending into practice. Jen and Jill have changed not only my life, but the life of my family as well. Thank you ladies!

I have been listening to Jen & Jill for several years now. I feel each show is like catching up with friends. Their advice & topics a have made me look at my spending, thinking about what is importance to me, and help break the cycle of feeling like I need “all the new things”. I have given myself permission to buy higher quality items, instead of replacing cheaper items every few years. The book they released…. Is absolutely helpful without being preachy. I have the hard copy, but also purchased the audiobook, because I enjoy listening them. Please keep up the awesome work. Love you both!!

I came across this podcast in the last month and couldn’t believe I’d never seen it before. Not every episode topic is for me, but I have enjoyed working through many older episodes - the conversations are helping me shift my thinking about money and spending for the better and I have felt a positive mindset and mood boost lately by making small changes. Loving the Sunday series on YouTube as well.

I was looking forward to this podcast and the content, but you should be warned that you’re going to waste SO much time just fast forwarding through the ads. I’m not including their plugs that are in addition to that.
For example their “Budget Better Bonus Series l Step 1: Look Into the Past” episode is 27:40. Of that time, the ad time is about 8.5 minutes. That’s wild.

I also didn’t appreciate or find it necessary that they said they think of feminists as being “abrasive” in the intro of their “Money Lies Women Believe” episode.
