One thing in the news recently that really concerned me was when Dr. Mercola announced that he, his family, some of his top employees, their spouses, and their children all suddenly had their bank accounts closed by Chase Bank.

He'd banked with Chase for years and with a popular website, a line of high-quality supplements, and a best-selling book, it's not like he was bouncing checks all over the place.

I don't always agree with Dr. Mercola, but I really like him. I respect his ability to listen to other points of view and to even air them on his platform.

My concern is the same is probably anyone else's who has dissenting views. Am I next?

Here, Marie wrote about what happened and offered a couple of suggestions for protecting yourself.

What do you think about Dr. Mercola and his employees and families being debanked? Are you concerned this may become more widespread? Is this the next way that unpopular views will be silenced and their espousers "canceled?" What are your thoughts on ways to combat this? Would you continue doing business with Chase Bank after this?

Let's discuss it in the comments section.

Whether you’re dumpster-diving-for-food poor, have an incredibly limited grocery budget, or have a garden variety thrifty grocery budget, you’ll find some ideas that work for you. Most of the suggestions also consider that someone with a tight budget probably spends a lot of time working and can’t always deliver every single bite from lengthy scratch-cooking processes.

This can’t really be called a cookbook as much as it is a "hodgepodge of thrifty ideas about food." You can substitute ingredients in just about every recipe based on what you have on hand. The flexibility is what helps to make it so frugal. The foods you’ll make are truly YOUR meals, based on what you have, what you’ll eat, and what you can afford.

Saving money in the kitchen doesn’t have to be dull and depressing. These frugal ideas, paired with the right attitude (and a sense of humor), will level up your menu!
