Cooking the Books podcast: The tricks to living a good life for less

Sabby Jey getting lunch for less, with actress Kim Crossman.

Each week, BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackle a different money problem. Today, it’s how to be boujee on a budget. Hosted by Frances Cook.

Life is expensive, and pretty much everyone I talk to right now is looking for ways to cut back.

But if you try to cut out everything fun, it’s a recipe for misery, and eventually a backlash of spending that could put you into debt.

What’s the better answer? Getting smart about living a good life for less.

And I have just the expert to help us with that.

For the latest podcast, I talked to entrepreneur and content creator Sabby Jey about her series “Boujee on a Budget”, and how she finds the best deals.
