Does anyone know how to get a airport lounge pass for cheap?

The Question:

Sometimes we have long layovers at airport.

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks..

What did people say?

⇒ Connie: Fly first class. We use Alaska airlines and miles. Hawaiian lounge pass we needed to pay for and your flight must be with Hawaiian.

⇒ Lisa: Forget capital ones United credit card pass…at DIA, they have set up an alternative lounge for all of us with credit card passes due to construction and it might as well be a bus station with off brand packaged snacks. Felt like expired leftovers.

⇒ Wojtyna: Buy a first class ticket & you get a lounge pass for free usually depending on the airline

⇒ Erin: If you are a responsible consumer, the best way is by CC. But this does not work for everyone’s lifestyle. I travel a lot for work and we travel as a family whenever we can too. So for me, the American Express Reserve card and its annual fee of $650, with all the perks, is a great deal. For my husband it’s not as great of deal so he is going to switch next year to the Chase version. If you don’t travel often, then neither of these may work for you.

⇒ Karyn Lynch: This isn’t very frugal because of the 600.00 fee, but it pays for itself if you’re a frequent traveler.

The American Express platinum card offers free entry to many airport lounges. Your food and drinks are free inside including alcohol if offered.

Covers the cost of…

  • CLEAR 189.00 a year.
  • Global entry 100.00 every 4 years
  • 200.00 airline credit every rolling year
  • 200.00 hotel credit
  • 200.00 in Uber credit

There are more benefits but these are the ones that make it beneficial for me. 

Best of luck

Lost time with my family and money from eating out!

My Case: Last night I came home from job 1 to do an extra shift at my hobby job (library movie night staff). I didn’t have much time so we ordered 5 guys $60). I went to my hobby job and made $56. Lost time with my family and money from eating out! Frugal fail and I already saw the movie. What did people say? ⇒ Mary: Maybe look at it that because of the second job, you were able to pay for the 5 guys meal with only an additional $4. ⇒ Judi: You paid for a nice dinner and got to watch a free movie for 4 bucks. Change your thinking you will change your life. I call this a win. ⇒ Theresa: It's not a fail if you learned something. And it is clear that you did. Make the lesson complete by making changes. ⇒ Sandy: I’d say your second job is not helping you get ahead. You don’t say how old your kids are. You’ll never get those hours back. Do as much home cooking as you can( from scratch). Cut corners where you can and enjoy time with your family. Next month, next year, things could be

I need suggestions on frugal foods that fit medical conditions

 The Question: I eat very low carb/keto to control diabetes without meds. I had a bowel obstruction and need to eat very low fiber to help things pass without getting stuck again for a week or two. Any suggestions on ideas of what I can eat that won't break the bank, spike my blood sugar or cause another obstruction? What did people say? ⇒ Donna: Make your own bone broth. I use it as a midafternoon snack. ⇒ Nicole: It sounds like you need a carnivore diet. It's fairly popular and fits what you are looking for. Basically eat unprocessed or minimally process full fat animal products. Double check with your dietitian on your specific needs but it's quite reasonable if you by Mark down meat, pork, eggs etc. I got a ton of steak at 3-4 each by figuring out where and when to shop. ⇒ Mims: I eat a low carb lifestyle because I'm trying to lose weight and get rid of inflammation. I eat eggs, ground beef, canned tuna and chicken mostly for my proteins. I just shop around for t

I still hunt around for the best prices on everything and I can’t bring myself to buy a new car

The Question: I grew up poor. Like not having electricity, running water and only eating at school for stretches at a time poor. I broke the generational curse of poverty and it’s been 20+ years since I’ve struggled but because of my experience with poverty, I abhor waste and always feel  the need to be prepared.  Because of this when we bought our home we bought in the country and I made sure it had its own water source and abundant wildlife. I learned to can food and make all our meals from scratch (because it’s healthier and cheaper) and we save and eat all the left overs. I still hunt around for the best prices on everything and I can’t bring myself to buy a new car. (We have used cars we have kept running for almost two decades). The thought of spending thousands on a vehicle  makes me physically ill to even contemplate. Expensive vacations  give me the same anxiety. We’ll spend the money to visit our daughter who is active duty military, wherever the military may take her but an
