What's up Reader, Black Friday and all of its chaos is over, but that doesn't mean the sales are gone. I opt out of doing BFS deals because there's just too much going on. Instead, I've come up with two exciting and fun Christmas countdowns just for my subscribers. Day 1 has already come and gone, but you still have a chance to score the deal until the timer runs out below. Sign up for one, the other, or even both, and get some amazing offers from Sarandipity's for a steal or even a free deal. Be sure to check out this week's affiliate offers, freebies in the vault (password is at the end of this post), and the latest events and gifts. The PLR Treasure Hunt: From Graveyard to BootyQuick question: How much PLR do you have sitting on your hard drive right now, completely unused? If you’re like most creators, the answer is probably “way too much” or “I’ve lost count.” I get it. I’ve been there, too. All of those bundles we bought with the best intentions. The templates that were going to revolutionize our business. The content we were definitely going to customize “someday.” Well, guess what? “Someday” just got a date. I’m participating in something pretty unique happening December 1-12, and I think you’re going to want in on this: The PLR Treasure Hunt: From Graveyard to Booty This is NOT a typical, boring summit. It’s an immersive Quest with:
Here’s the cool part: It’s completely FREE to join! Inside, you’ll get:
The Quest is open NOW (Dec 1-12), and presentations are unlocked on December 9th. Sign up now and:
Here’s why I’m excited about this: Most PLR training is boring… This? This is actually FUN! This adventure theme and missions will make you excited to go through your PLR Graveyard. It makes learning feel like play. The Booty Committee will make you feel supported. The strategies are legit game-changers! It’s time to finally do something with all that PLR you’ve been hoarding!

Five Frugal Freelancer Tips |
December is basically the Olympics for small businesses: juggling client work, holiday chaos, tax panic, random school events, family expectations, and at least two sudden deadlines that absolutely did not exist last week.
To help you survive the season with your bank account intact, here are my 5 Frugal Freelancer Tips—simple, smart, and actually realistic. No toxic positivity, no “manifest abundance,” just common sense and a little sass.
────────────────────────
If you created it once, you can reuse it six different ways—blog posts into newsletters, social posts into reels, freebies into upsells, product pages into Pinterest pins. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel; just paint it a different color and call it a day.
And if you want some help planning it all out without sacrificing sanity, my Content Planner is basically a cheat code.
────────────────────────
2. Use PLR to speed up production and stop burning hours you don’t have.
PLR (private label rights products) is the freelancer equivalent of buying the cake mix but still telling everyone it’s homemade. Grab it, tweak it, publish it. Boom—done.
If you’re participating in my $1 Daily Deal Countdown, you’re gonna find some absolute gems in there for repurposing. If you’re not signed up yet… why would you do that to yourself? The countdown is pure gold.
────────────────────────
3. Save money with homemade gifts this year.
Handmade gifts scream cozy, thoughtful, and “I didn’t want to blow $30 on a candle.” You can whip up personalized printables, gift baskets, treats, little DIY bundles—and they feel way more meaningful than panic-shopping at 11 p.m.
If you need inspiration, my Handmade Holidays book has dozens of easy, frugal ideas that won’t make you cry into your tape dispenser. It’s also making a cameo in the countdown this month… just saying.
────────────────────────
4. Cut grocery costs by meal planning and cooking from scratch.
Food prices are rude right now. Meal planning is your shield. Making things from scratch is your sword.
Every dollar you don’t spend on prepackaged nonsense is a dollar you can put toward something fun—like, I don’t know… my Christmas cookbooks? The Cozy Christmas Cookie Cookbook? The Winter Feast Cookbook? The full lineup is rolling out all month.
And if you want to overhaul your grocery budget the easy way, the Replace This With That free challenge walks you through making smarter swaps without sacrificing flavor or joy.
────────────────────────
5. Get a head start on your business for next year.
You do not want to hit January feeling like someone unplugged your brain and plugged it back in wrong. Prep now, plan now, and you’ll glide into 2026 like someone who has their life together… or at least looks like it from certain angles.
To help with that, check out:
• Prompt Cards — creative business-growth prompts for when your brain refuses to cooperate
• 2026 Life Management Planner — part planner, part personal assistant, no coffee required
• 2026 Calendars — pretty, practical, and ready to keep you on track
You’ll thank yourself later. Future you loves being less overwhelmed.
────────────────────────
🎄 And since we’re in the holiday zone… a quick reminder: I’m running two huge Christmas countdown events this month:
Daily $1 Deal Countdown — one product, one day, one dollar.
Secret Word Freebie Countdown — snag a free digital goodie every day until Christmas.
Both come with bonuses, upsells, surprises, and the kind of festive chaos that makes December fun instead of exhausting.
If you’re not signed up yet, now’s the moment. It’s like a digital advent calendar but way more useful.
────────────────────────
Here’s to saving money, saving time, and maybe—just maybe—saving a sliver of sanity this month.
Stay frugal, stay crafty, stay caffeinated. —
Sara

Hi Reader, It's crazy to say I'm already deep into planning for 2026, with the hope that I'll have better efforts at staying on track if I complete the work now.
