[00:00:01]Hi bestie. Happy Thursday. Thank you so much for stopping by. My name is Nori and this is Norelle's Budgets.

[00:00:09]So happy to be here with you today. I have my sleepy voice cuz I woke up and pretty much uh did my skin care and made some coffee and got right on here. So I do sound sleepy cuz I just recently woke up.

[00:00:25]Mhm.

[00:00:26]Big old coffee mug.

[00:00:28]I worked super late last night. I was at work till well over 1:30 a.m. So, you know, with that hour home, by the time I [clears throat] showered, got in bed, it was like 2:00 something, almost 3:00 a.m. So it was a late night for me. Um and I'm up and at 'em decently early so I could get this video recorded before I headed back to work today.

[00:00:51]So I am so happy to see that you guys enjoyed my one month ahead video. Um you guys there's been a lot of views on it.

[00:00:58]You guys have been active on it. So I appreciate that so much. Um on [clears throat] my day off coming up, I'll make sure to keep watching everybody's videos and commenting. Um I appreciate your love and support so much. Thank you so much for everybody that has purchased from my website norellesbudgets.com.

[00:01:15]I have like two sets of the dashboards left and three or four of the digital dreams book. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, digital [clears throat] dreams book is this one.

[00:01:27]It's a digital dreams savings book.

[00:01:29]And um it comes with different challenges that are white to K themed.

[00:01:36]And once I sell those three or four that I have on my website, that's it. I won't have any more physicals. It'll just be a digital download after that point. I do like to make a physical batch for those of you that don't have printers and you know, would like to purchase it. Um and then um I have my um dashboard set, the bubblegum pink one, and I have my binder in my purse, so I can't bring it over, but it's pretty much in this color scheme.

[00:02:07]And it comes with the dashboard, two dashboards, one that says in my savings era, and one says baby girl you got this.

[00:02:14]And then I have um, I want to remind you guys about the villain's takeover collab. This is a a collaboration with by Moni Sandra, Fancy Budgets, Overthinking and Budgeting, Shades Budgets, Steph's on a Budget, Tobey's Budgets, Annie's Little Savings, It Is Not Too Late Terry, Brooklyn Elle Saves, What's Poppin Sunshine, Lady Lux Saves, Budget With PJ, Savings With Tracy, and Mom Mom Wife Budget Life.

[00:02:41]And I would love to um, start this in June, so I want to give you guys a whole month to download this so we can get it started together, and it's beautiful villain themed challenges.

[00:02:56]Love it so much. Um, if from my download you can get the dashboards for A5 and A6, and the book covers, and the the announcement uh, list, so then you'll know everybody that's participating.

[00:03:11]Um, I love this. I love how easy it is, and how you can make it work for your budget, and you'll have something fun to save with. Like I said, I'm going to start it in the month of June, and I'm going to call I'm going to add it into my mini Mondays, and then obviously this book.

[00:03:26]So, that is the housekeeping stuff, you know, a couple after these, and then it's over and done with, and then my uh, dashboards.

[00:03:35]So, there we have that. So, thank you so much. If you're here and you like my content, if you could please subscribe, I'd greatly appreciate it, or give me a like. If you have the like option, I'd greatly appreciate it. That helps my channel so much, and it gets other channels um, I mean, like it it recommends my channel to other people that like things that you like.

[00:03:57]So, it's a great way to give back to the community.

[00:04:00]Um, all right. So, um, my members should be receiving their little card with their little minis, I mean, tinies.

[00:04:09]A big old stack of them. And then, your two A5 challenges for April March and April.

[00:04:15]And I left this here because I wanted to put this into my binder for my, um, I have a ton of a tinies in here. I've I cut a cut a bunch up and I have them here.

[00:04:28]So, I'm going to take some of these and I'm going to put them in this binder.

[00:04:32]So, whenever I need a set of tinies, I can use these member exclusive tinies.

[00:04:38]Um, so, you guys should be receiving some here in a minute if you haven't already.

[00:04:43]Some people messaged me on Instagram, told me they got it. I got an email from someone else.

[00:04:49]So, I'm glad to hear that you guys are receiving everything.

[00:04:54]All right, cool. So, let me grab my $15.

[00:04:57]So, I have today's tiny savings day.

[00:04:59]Um, I have a couple extra dollars in here because they're left over from the last few savings. So, 1 2 3 Oh, 5 10 1 2 3 4 5. Let's do that.

[00:05:11]So, that's my $15 right here. This is the $3 left over from the last few savings days because I have quarters in my envelope. So, I always leave that there.

[00:05:21]So, I did verify off camera that I had my $15 in quarters ready to go. So, that is right over here.

[00:05:29]This is $15 in quarters. These prop, uh, papers or or dollars are from the Dramatic Panda over on Ko-fi. She has amazing freebies.

[00:05:41]All right. So, $15.

[00:05:43]And then, I have my tinies right here. So, going to place them.

[00:05:50]>> [snorts] >> Some of these are almost done, some of these are getting started, and I love using tiny's with the quarters because a little bit of money goes a long way. So, I like to share tiny's because this is a way to save. Everybody saves full dollar bills, and everybody saves all that good stuff, which is great. I think it's awesome, but also I want to save in a way that shows people with a super low income or just a couple dollars to save that you can save, and you can do it in a way that, you know, will work for you.

[00:06:23]So, I just moved my um my dice tower out of the way, but then I realized I need it. So, let me actually move my binders out of the way.

[00:06:35]All right, so let me move my dice tower back. Let me just put it right here.

[00:06:40]Um I always like to get some of this um sort quick.

[00:06:45]This was a gift from the lovely um um um um Mida from Color Cash and Color Budget. So, thank you. I still use it, Amida.

[00:06:57]All right, and then I have my six right here. I'm going to take a six-sided die, and I'm going to roll it, and whatever many quarters it is from one through six is what I'm putting in each one, and I'm starting here and working down.

[00:07:08]Let me have a sip of water cuz my throat's killing me.

[00:07:18]>> [snorts] >> Mhm.

[00:07:22]All right, here we go.

[00:07:25]Two.

[00:07:26]>> [clears throat] >> It's five.

[00:07:34]One.

[00:07:39]Oh my gosh, five.

[00:07:45]three one three two six So, 1 2 3 4 5 and 6.

[00:08:06]1 2 3 4 5 6 three two two four six That one got a ton.

[00:08:35]two one four And I got two left. Let's see what I got. I got five, so it'll just go there.

[00:08:49]That was fun.

[00:08:51]All right, so Let me Let me go ahead and grab this and put it here cuz I might need it cuz some of the papers are super thin.

[00:09:07]So, 1 2 3 4. Let me just go ahead and swap it. 1 2 3, so 175.

[00:09:14]This is for my sweet savings book. These are the minis that come with it. The tinies, excuse me.

[00:09:20]Um so, I have been Oh my goodness, I just I hate when I do that.

[00:09:28]I just scratched my eyebrow and I had I had just done my eyebrow before we this video.

[00:09:34]Anyhoo, um so I have $1.75.

[00:09:38]So, if I do No. Yeah, I have multiple dollars here.

[00:09:43]$1.75 here, and then if if I add a quarter, then I can do a full dollar. So, let me do that.

[00:09:51]Cuz each square is a quarter.

[00:09:57]Boom. All right, so that made it the full dollar.

[00:10:00]Now, I have 50 cents. So, I have $1.50.

[00:10:03]So, this is $1 to here.

[00:10:07]And then 50 Okay.

[00:10:09]So, I'm going to I'm going to go ahead and color this right here.

[00:10:24]So, this is $1.50.

[00:10:35]And what I said when I started this tiny is that when I finish these tinies, these sweet savings book tinies that came with the book, these are going to be ones that I am going to use towards the book to save in the book.

[00:10:51]So, this one total saved was one two Hold on.

[00:10:58]One two three dollars four dollars five 25. So, I'm actually going to write that down.

[00:11:16]So, 525.

[00:11:19]And then this is going to give me $1, $2, $3 $4.75. So, that's going to make it a full amount. Okay, so 525 in this one.

[00:11:30]And then so far I have 1 2 25.

[00:11:34]So I hope that makes sense. So what I do is that I divide each icon into um the amount needed.

[00:11:44]1 2 3 4 5 6 7 50.

[00:11:49]So it's going to be a nice amount when I'm done with it. Once I finish it, like I said, the money will go straight into my sweet savings book to add a little bump cuz I've only been saving like $9 a week. So that will give me a little extra umph. You know what I mean?

[00:12:03]All right. So let me put this to the side here.

[00:12:08]That way I know it's done. All right. So we have this one from Budgeting With Lisa and that one 2 3 4.

[00:12:16]1 2 3. Okay. Actually, let me go over here. I need singles for 1 2 3 4 5.

[00:12:24]There we go.

[00:12:26]Today I brought four $5 bills cuz I knew I could condense it. I didn't have as many singles, so.

[00:12:32]All right. So Budgeting With Lisa and that we finished all of these already.

[00:12:36]This is a super cute fun set that she has available for sale on Kofi.

[00:12:41]And then we have So I need if I get one more quarter, I have a dollar. So let me do that.

[00:12:49]And then let me color the quarter.

[00:12:57]I wrote it in in every place left.

[00:13:01]So I have a dollar 50 left and then I have a dollar So each one of these is 50 cents.

[00:13:12]So I have a dollar 50. So I just need 50 cents to finish it. So I'm going to rob this one so I can finish it.

[00:13:30]>> All right, so 1 2 3 4.

[00:13:36]1 2 3 4 5.

[00:13:40]1 2 3 4 5. So, we have $10 saved with this lovely um set from Budget With Lee Sandra that you can purchase from her.

[00:13:54]So, a nice $10. That's perfect. So, that's $10 added towards the end of the month savings, as you know.

[00:14:04]I like to do whatever I can to add towards the end of the month.

[00:14:14]So, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to add I'm going to write $5.

[00:14:21]Oops.

[00:14:24]I need a big marker.

[00:14:29]$10, excuse me. I'm going to write $10 on there.

[00:14:32]And this is going to go in my completed.

[00:14:35]So, let me get my bell.

[00:14:38]Hey.

[00:14:40]We're back to it. We're back to it. All right, so we added that into the bag for the month of May. So, we'll see how much we end up saving.

[00:14:49]All right, so I have a space available, so I can add some in here.

[00:14:54]Um I think I am going to do one of the ones from my member exclusive tinies that you guys are going to get or got already or getting.

[00:15:02]Um I'm going to add these three, and I can decide how much each one is going to be. So, it's this a cute little purse I mean, with binder, stars, and a bear with a balloon.

[00:15:15]So, that's going to be the set that we're going to start next time, cuz I don't have any quarters this week for it, cuz I finished the one.

[00:15:21]But then we know that we're going to use that member exclusive um set.

[00:15:28]To save with it.

[00:15:29]>> [clears throat] >> All right, so best friends for life. This is from Annie's little savings. This is a freebie available in our coffee. Give her some love and support. She's so kind and supportive. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2 3 4. All right, this is the first time I'm using one of her freebies on my channel, I think.

[00:15:55]All right, so $3.25. So, $1 $2 $3.

[00:15:59]So, yeah, so this one can be a quarter each.

[00:16:11]And then this one can be a quarter each.

[00:16:20]All right, so I have $3.25.

[00:16:22]So, $1 $2 $3. So, this one's done and then I'm going to do a quarter over here. So, I'm going to go ahead and color the one on this side.

[00:16:38]And then I'm going to color all the balloons on this one.

[00:16:42]It's a cute Winnie the Pooh one. It comes with these two tinies and it comes with um a big A5 one. If you go and got her freebie, I shared it in one of my freebie roundups the last few Wednesdays ago.

[00:16:56]Three Wednesdays ago.

[00:16:58]So, go check it out. Give her some love and support. Like I said, it's Annie's little savings.

[00:17:08]All right.

[00:17:12]We made a big dent in this one since we just started it.

[00:17:15]And it's only two of them, so So, 325.

[00:17:30]That goes right there.

[00:17:37]Oh, man.

[00:18:14]So, I got $2. So, let me go here and I'll go ahead and color these two right here.

[00:18:25]I mean, these four cuz if I color these four, it's $2, which is what I need.

[00:18:41]Okay. And I have So, I'm going to add 50 cents so that I can swap it for a dollar.

[00:18:50]So, then I'm going to color one two, and then I have an extra quarter.

[00:19:03]So, three.

[00:19:07]So, this one's done. Let me put these up front with this one.

[00:19:12]All right.

[00:19:13]So, now I have 1 2 3 4 5 25. So, if you remember going over to Coffee, going over to YouTube, and you can get this at the Boo Boo collaboration that Lisa and I did.

[00:19:25]It's a member exclusive. It has tiny's.

[00:19:27][clears throat] It has a mini and a big full page savings, which is this one, which I want to start from my birthday month in June.

[00:19:39]All right. So, next up I have this one from Our Simplistic Life. These were some minis that I already had printed and cut up, so I wanted to use them so they wouldn't go to waste. 1 2 3 4.

[00:19:51]1 2 3 4.

[00:19:57]275.

[00:20:00]And then I'm going to add 50 cents to that one, so that'll be a full dollar.

[00:20:13]Okay.

[00:20:27]So, each of these were 50 cents I mean 25 cents.

[00:20:30]So, I was able to do Yeah, so that's $1 $2. Yeah, so that was $2 for that one. And same thing for these, so that's done, so that goes there.

[00:20:51]And All right. So, I have two $1 ones in the center, and then I have a quarter.

[00:21:02]So, I'm going to go ahead and color the drinks in the middle, which are both $1.

[00:21:14]I wrote numbers on them, so as to kind of make them work. So, $1 for the each one in the middle, so that's 1 2 dollars.

[00:21:22]And then I have a quarter, so everything else around it is a quarter.

[00:21:27]And if I follow that, obviously that would give me a full um an even number, that's why I did that. So, that's why I'm just going along with what I wrote.

[00:21:35]1 2 3 4 25. This one's completed. This one's like started in the other one as well. So, we're going along in this one.

[00:21:45]And this freebie is from Our Simplistic Life.

[00:21:54]All right, last but not least, this is a Lilo and Stitch set from Lisandra. You can purchase from her.

[00:22:03]So, 1 2 3 4.

[00:22:06]Okay, I got to get my binder cuz I got to swap out.

[00:22:10]1 2 3 4.

[00:22:13]I got to get a one from the tiny savings cuz this one was from the quarters that I had last week.

[00:22:21]All right, cool.

[00:22:25]So, I have 2 25. Let me see how much I need.

[00:22:30]So, that's all done.

[00:22:33]Okay, so these are the two left.

[00:22:36]So, I have a $1.50.

[00:22:48]All right, so I'm going to do one dollar.

[00:22:58]And then I got a quarter, so I can do this part.

[00:23:09]And if I add 50 cents, I'm going to take this out.

[00:23:14]So, I'm just going to add the 50 cents, swap it. That is even now. And then I still have 50 cents left over cuz we finished this set. Yay, we finished the second one.

[00:23:23]So, let's count how much I have. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 $12.

[00:23:32]Hey, $12.

[00:23:34]That's awesome.

[00:23:37]So, Hey.

[00:23:42]All right, so $12 completed. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to put this in here.

[00:23:50]So, that's $22 saved in two of them.

[00:23:55]Those little bits add up. So, I have 50 cents.

[00:23:58]So, I'm going to go I'll put it in this one from Lisandra and I cuz this one has a ton.

[00:24:16]So, I'm going to go ahead and do two more of these uh ramen bowls to add the 50 cents and then that way um we're making progress on that one.

[00:24:32]Perfect.

[00:24:35]So, everybody got some love. Everybody got love. Um oops, now I have an extra one.

[00:24:41]And then now I have um an extra envelope. So, I'm going to pick some right now to put in here.

[00:24:48]That's why I have them cut and ready to go. I'm not going to use more of my member exclusive ones cuz I have a few.

[00:24:56]All right, so I'm going to use this one from Creations by Muneca and Delvina and Elvina.

[00:25:07]It says hello March and it's um these quarter, so this is a dollar I mean this is $4.

[00:25:13]This is $1.50. This is $2.50.

[00:25:16]This is $5. This is $5 and this is $3.50. So what I might do is I'll pick and choose cuz some of these are pretty big.

[00:25:32]So I'll do three of these and I'll put the other three in here and I'll use them at a different time.

[00:25:37]So I'm going to go ahead and do this one that's $5 $1.50 and $2.50. So that's 5 6 7 8 9 dollars saved when I finish that one. So that's a little bit better.

[00:25:51]So $9 to finish that one. So and that's from Creations by Muneca and Elvina and that's available as a freebie from their Kofi.

[00:26:03]All right, so let me put this away.

[00:26:07]And then now we get to do our dreams do come true.

[00:26:13]And then we're done.

[00:26:14]And then your girl has to rush and get ready for work and do it all over again.

[00:26:18]So Perfect. So that's done. I'm going to put that inside and then I'm going to get this.

[00:26:29]Lord. All right.

[00:26:31]I'm going to get my coach die for today cuz I've been using the other ones.

[00:26:36]All right.

[00:26:38]I'm going to shake these up.

[00:26:41]And I'm going to put them away. I love the way they sound so much.

[00:26:45]All right, so I got my $5 right here.

[00:26:50]And then these are the rolls from last week 5 4 1 1 5.

[00:26:56]>> [snorts] >> So, let's see what we get today.

[00:27:03]And we got some singles from my sister's binder.

[00:27:07]1 2 3 4 and 5.

[00:27:19]All right, first roll $2. I mean, $2.

[00:27:26]Number two. I don't know what I'm doing.

[00:27:28]I'm all out of sorts right now.

[00:27:30]Tired. It was a late night last night, so my brain's still sleeping and waking up. So, I got a two.

[00:27:37]I put the dollar in the two already.

[00:27:41]Five.

[00:27:43]Okay, five.

[00:27:53]Four. Four is really coming back.

[00:27:57]It's coming back with a vengeance.

[00:28:04]Four again. Oh my goodness.

[00:28:06]I said that and then I get four again.

[00:28:10]And last but not least, the last roll.

[00:28:15]Five. Okay, so that was crazy.

[00:28:18]2 5 4 4 5.

[00:28:23]So, that's our rolls for today.

[00:28:26]And I'm holding it here so you can screenshot it or write it down, whatever it is that you do.

[00:28:32]The last roll was five, so I got to put All right, so number one didn't get anything.

[00:28:41]Number two did, so let me put that in here.

[00:28:48]So, now number two, which is treat yourself. Let me write that with a pen.

[00:28:54]This pink marker I use is not looking like you can see anything.

[00:29:01]So 514, $1 and it makes it 39.

[00:29:11]Yeah, $39 for treat yourself.

[00:29:17]I'm making sure that I got anything, which is number three. Number four got $2, which is car maintenance for me.

[00:29:27]514, $2 and that is $36.

[00:29:34]10 25 31 2 3 4 5 6.

[00:29:40]Awesome.

[00:29:44]Number five is getting $2 and that makes it 28.

[00:29:53]It got $2 last week, I mean last Tuesday and it got $2 now.

[00:29:59]10 15 21 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. So $28, that's correct-o.

[00:30:07]All right, cool. All right, so that's that and so let me go over here and put this money in my sister's.
