Money saving tips: 7 ways to boost your bank account
(WSPA) – How much are you really paying for groceries and streaming services each month? Answering those two questions could get you on the road to bettering financial footing. 7NEWS Here to Help talked to financial experts and savvy parents about what we can all do to beef up our savings. If necessity is the mother of invention, mom-of-three Stephanie Lewis has certainly come up with some creative ways to save for her family. The Duncan, S.C. mother said the biggest savings have been slashing that grocery bill. 'I can get my cart full and not even spend $100, where if I go to the big chain stores, a couple of bags and you're at $100,' Lewis said. Lewis shops at ALDI, so 7NEWS did some price comparisons. First, like any grocery store, the true savings is buying the store brand. For instance, 'Fruit Round' cereal is more than three dollars cheaper than the brand name 'Fruit Loops,' plus it doesn't have food dye or high fructose corn syrup. ALDI even has taste testers to make sure it makes the grade. And when comparing items with other stores, there are notable savings. On the day we were there, cotton candy grapes were selling for $1.10 cheaper per pound than Publix, grassfed 93% lean beef was $1.50 cheaper than Walmart, and the Organic milk was $1.60 cheaper than Target's equivalent. A recent report by ALDI compared its private label pricing to other store brands and found that a family of four can save nearly $2,000 a year. When it comes to the more expensive brand-name products, the savings jump to nearly $4,000. The point is, shoppers like Jeff Schlaudt said, when you choose to buy your groceries at places that offer better pricing, you notice a difference. 'Yeah, it definitely saves us a lot of money. We want to eat that way, organic and healthy no matter where we shop so having that option here for much lower prices is a game changer,' Schlaudt said. If you want to save money too, tally up what you spend on groceries per week, and do an experiment on how much you would save at a less costly store. For the most success, be willing to bring your own bags, ALDI does not provide them for free, and be open to buying off-label brands. Of course, Lewis has other saving tricks up her sleeve, like avoiding the cost of too many streaming services. To do that, she rotates between them so she's only paying for one or two at a time. 'Catch up on some TV shows, and then at the end of 6 months have a reminder on your phone, cancel, try something new and it saves you a lot of money,' Lewis said. As for paying down debt, 7NEWS checked in with Gina Zakaria, who has achieved Instagram fame as 'The Saving Whiz' for paying off more than $100,000 in credit card debt over 5 said to start, transfer balances to cards that offer 0% APR she said to follow a 'reverse budget,' where you pay off a portion of the debt first each month and limit remaining expenses to what's ask your creditors to work with you.'We were able to negotiate those rates down a little bit; a lot of people don't realize that banks actually want to work with you,' Zakaria said. Now more than ever, there are also ample side gigs that can bring in extra income, from Uber drivers to Instacart shoppers. The Espositos, who are retired, supplement their income by taking on a tenant. 'We rent an apartment that my husband built, a detached garage, and we rent it to traveling nurses,' Klare Esposito said. As for your investments, financial advisor Becca Mathis said, make your savings count by storing emergency funds in a high-yield savings account that earns around 5% interest. She also said to avoid knee-jerk reactions when it comes to your portfolio, including your 401(k). 'When the market is down, sometimes people want to get out. It's scary when you see your investments declining. But if you choose to move out at the botto,m you are more than likely going to miss out on the recovery,' said Mathis. She also advised that if you want to save more, don't fall into spending pitfalls. 'I think in today's social media world, it's very easy to get caught up and always want more,' Mathis said. Back at the store, Lewis doesn't just stick to a budget with food. Instead of doing back-to-school shopping before school, she buys supplies and her kids' clothes mainly when sales hit at the end of each season. 'They've got them 75% off, grab it stick it in the closet and it's great for next season,' she said with a smile. Finally, one surefire way to prevent major money problems is to make building an emergency fund a priority. It's wise to have 3-6 months' worth of expenses saved up so that you don't have to use a credit card or other high-interest loans if your car breaks down or you run into another financial problem.

Rodeo star's son remembered by family on 1-year anniversary of drowning death
One year after saddle bronc champion Spencer Wright's 3-year-old son tragically drowned in a Utah river, his mother reflected on the final moments they spent holding him. "A year ago, today, we held you as you took your last breaths," Kallie Wright wrote on Monday, June 2, in a post on Instagram alongside a photo of her and her husband with their young son, Levi, in his hospital bed. The child was removed from life support last year, about two weeks after he drove his toy tractor into the water while playing at his home in May 2024. Rodeo Star Spencer Wright's Family Hopes To Wean Critically Injured 3-Year-old Off Breathing Tube Kallie shared that they held their son as he took his "last breaths." "They said it could take a day or 2. I was so scared I wouldn't be holding you when you left and that was so important to me," she wrote. "You stayed with us [for] 17 minutes. As you left, an overwhelming feeling came over me [and] I knew we had done right by you." Read On The Fox News App "For me, this isn't the day you fully left us, but the day it became official," she said. "Levi, we talk about and think of you everyday. We live for you! Our love for you is stronger than ever." The family remained hopeful about their son's plight over a week following the accident, writing on social media that they aim to wean the boy off his breathing tube. However, on June 2, 2024, Kallie announced that "after several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world's best neurologists & millions of prayers," the family knew it was "time." "Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this," she wrote. "We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go." Wife Of Rodeo Star Spencer Wright Shares Tragic Update On Three-year-old Son Levi After River Accident The accident came after the young boy fell off his toy tractor and into a river on the family's property in Utah. The toddler was airlifted to Beaver Valley Hospital after the accident in Beaver Creek on May 21, Fox News Digital previously reported. He remained in critical condition there until the family made the decision to take the boy off life support. Rodeo Star Spencer Wright's 3-Year-old Son Hospitalized After Falling Into Utah River On Toy Tractor Following his death, the family launched The Levi Wright Foundation, "where we hope to help families that face similar unimaginable situations in his memory," according to the organization's Facebook page. The Levi Wright Memorial Barrel Race is the group's next organized event. The toddler's father is ranked No. 40 in the world in saddle bronc riding. His grandfather, Bill Wright, is in the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. Spencer and his three brothers made history in 2014 when all four qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He ultimately won the championship. The family was the subject of the book "The Last Cowboys" and has been featured on an episode of "60 Minutes."

Escaped Inmate Asks Lil Wayne, NBA YoungBoy, Meek Mill for Help
One of the inmates still on the lam after the recent jailbreak in New Orleans has put out a plea for help directed at Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, and NBA YoungBoy. Antoine Massey is one of two men who remains at large after escaping a New Orleans jail last month. Earlier this week, he appeared to post a nearly 10-minute video statement to Instagram, denying he came up with the plan for the jailbreak ('I didn't break out, I was let out'), proclaiming his innocence (he's facing charges of domestic violence), and asking for help. More from Rolling Stone Elon Calls Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' Bill a 'Disgusting Abomination' Lil Wayne Celebrates Over 20 Years of 'Tha Carter' With New Tour Neil Young Invites Donald Trump to Summer Tour After Springsteen Spat The three aforementioned rappers — all of whom have had dealings with the criminal justice system — are name-checked multiple times in the clip (which has since been deleted). And because there's never a wrong time to shoot your shot, Massey also asked President Donald Trump for assistance. (Trump previously granted a pardon to Lil Wayne, and he just gave clemency to NBA YoungBoy.) 'I'm asking please for help — YoungBoy, Meek Mills,' Massey said. 'People that been through the system that know it's corrupt. Lil Wayne, Donald Trump. When I get back in custody, I'm asking y'all, please come help.' Reps for Wayne, Mill, and NBA YoungBoy did not immediately return requests for comment. The video featuring Massey was posted on June 1, and authorities found it credible enough that they carried out a search of a home where they believed the video was recorded, per The Associated Press. Authorities zeroed in on the location after being tipped off by relatives who recognized the residence, but Massey was not there when the police arrived. Officials did, however, say they found the clothes they think Massey was wearing in the clip. Massey was one of 10 people who escaped the New Orleans jail, fleeing through a hole that was carved out behind a toilet and then climbing over a wall. (The guard assigned to their cell pod was reportedly getting food at the time of the breakout.) Eight of the inmates who fled the jail have since been taken back into custody; along with Massey, the only inmate still at large is Derrick Groves, who was convicted of killing two people last fall.
