1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>That's say, good morning now to the host of how

2
00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:05.679
<v Speaker 1>to Money on KFI. It's our very own Joel Larscard Joel.

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh. Yes, you know how they.

4
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Say one person's trash is another person's treasure.

5
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh.

6
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So you say that this has been driven home

7
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>for you.

8
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, so I have found this to be true

9
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 2>in my life of different periods in the past. But

10
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 2>this article in Indie Week caught my attention, and this

11
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 2>the author said, Hey, you know what I did. I

12
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 2>went around to you know, a bunch of college college

13
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 2>students are graduating right now, and she went to her

14
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 2>local university and found the kind of things being just

15
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>tossed aside, thrown away. We're quite nice that these college

16
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>students were saying, I got to get out of here,

17
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>got my degree, and they just left a bunch of

18
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>stuff in the dumpster around the dumpster on the curb.

19
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>And so she was able to score almost seven thousand

20
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>dollars worth of free goods because yeah, people are piecing

21
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>and they're getting rid of their stuff. And I've just

22
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>found this to be true in my own life too,

23
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 2>that sometimes people are done with something. My wife's got

24
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>rid of some perfectly nice tennis shoes the other day.

25
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>She was like, they're just that they don't fit me

26
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>right anymore, and so someone's totally going to score if

27
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>we give those to good will, which we probably will.

28
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's just just a good reminder to say,

29
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>one person's trash is another person's treasure, and if you're

30
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the thoughtful kind of person who's on the lookout, you

31
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>might be able to score a deal and score something

32
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 2>essentially free.

33
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I think gently used as a lovely thing. Yeah, one

34
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 1>of my best friends and I have the same sized shoe.

35
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Most of most of my best friends don't have the

36
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>same size shoe, but we swap shoes back and forth

37
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>all the time. It's like, I don't want to wear

38
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>these anymore. Will don't look at me that way. They're

39
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>still clean all right anyway, So yes, I agree with you.

40
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Well let's move on, because you will still give me

41
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the stink eye.

42
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm just going to say I've had friends legit start

43
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 2>businesses from this where they're like, wait, they see like

44
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>an inefficiency where the nice stuff gets donated to a

45
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 2>certain place, or they're grad at like curb pickups and

46
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that. I'm just saying keep your eyes open,

47
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 2>keep your mind open to the possibility that somebody else

48
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>a's this card might be something that you can pull

49
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>into your life and use.

50
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, look at like the real real They've made a

51
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>fortune off of this one.

52
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Hundred percent, and there's like all sorts of Peloton just

53
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 2>launched a used store, right, so they're they're trying to

54
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>recycle goods for their customers. The truth is, though, in

55
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>so many instances, you're going to do better by cutting

56
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>out the middle van, going straight to Facebook marketplace and

57
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>buying that used Peloton yourself directly from somebody who doesn't

58
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>want it anymore, instead of paying Peloton twice as much

59
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>for the privilege of buying the use Peloton from them.

60
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. Okay, So Campbell's came out with a study saying

61
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 1>that more people are eating at home, and they're home,

62
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>their soup sales are up and that kind of stuff

63
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>because people are worried about the economy. But you're saying

64
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>that your numbers don't jive with that.

65
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, I'm not saying my numbers don't drive with that.

66
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying it's one small little data point, and so

67
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>it's interest saying how that Campbell's coming out and saying, hey,

68
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>people are buying more not just of their can soups,

69
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 2>but of like pasta sauce and crackers and stuff like

70
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 2>that too. They're basically saying definitively, people are cooking at

71
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>home more. And that's kind of sort of true. Maybe

72
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>right now a small trend back towards cooking at home,

73
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>but when you look at the overall trend over the

74
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>past decade, it's been a significant trend of people eating

75
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>out more than they cook at home. That's really never

76
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>been the case until really recent history. And when you

77
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 2>look at the price discrepancy of cooking at home versus

78
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>eating out, it's massive. We're talking average meal in of

79
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>four dollars per person average eating. The average cost of

80
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>eating out is seventeen dollars per person per meal. So

81
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 2>if you're taking a family five out to eat, you're

82
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 2>dropping a hundred bucks. If you're eating in as a family,

83
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about twenty bucks. And that adds up significantly.

84
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 2>And so we've seen a greater discrepancy in the cost

85
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>of eating out and cook me at home, and so, yeah,

86
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>growth we talk about how expensive groceries are, but the

87
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>truth is it's so much cheaper to buy the groceries

88
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 2>and to cook at home. It's important to have a

89
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 2>plan to actually use this up that you buy, and

90
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 2>to not just say on a whim, now we're gonna

91
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>go out to eat tonight, because and I get that

92
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I've fallen. I have fallen into that cycle at times

93
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 2>in the past where you just don't feel like it

94
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>that night. That's why it's so important a meal plan

95
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>ahead of time and maybe even bash cooked on the weekend.

96
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>That can help a lot of people actually stick to

97
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>the plan of eating at home instead of eating out,

98
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 2>because that can be such a backbreaking cost.

99
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>You're making me feel bad. I did that yesterday. I

100
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>was like, I don't feel like cooking. I'm going to

101
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the to my little ginger grass in my neighborhood and

102
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>it was lovely and I have leftovers, so I got

103
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>two meals in one.

104
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 2>There you go, two meals in one. And I don't

105
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>want to guilt people into saying like you can't eat out,

106
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>you shut pan and should like just budget for it

107
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 2>and make sure you're not doing it like thoughtlessly. And

108
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 2>another thing that helps me with that is just having

109
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>a few different frozen foods that we know are reason

110
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>healthy and then we could pop in in a pinch.

111
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>So like when we weren't planning on eating out, we

112
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 2>don't eat out. We kind of keep the eating at

113
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>home and eating out budget impact that way.

114
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Here's my recommendation, and Bill Handle would be happy about

115
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>this because it's from Costco. It's the salmon burgers. They're

116
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>frozen and they make a lovely little meal. You can

117
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>put them on a burger, just eat them as a

118
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>patty and they're kind of last second if you forget

119
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>and you want to eat healthy still and the.

120
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Creator Josie Costco both do a great job with like frozen,

121
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>pre made meal. So I think, you know, people have

122
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of options for that, but definitely look towards

123
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 2>some of those some of those frozen options that can

124
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 2>be healthy and tasty.

125
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So like everything that Joel tells us, we just

126
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 1>need to plan for it, make sure that we've got

127
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a plan so we don't overspend, and then go and

128
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 1>enjoy a good meal. Joel Larsguard, host of how to
