A fresh print review and an archived radio interview

Good morning and happy Friday!

It’s a refreshing look at a time-honored tradition: saving money while getting to enjoy something that you truly love.”

Have an awesome weekend, and let’s hope Arsenal bounce back tomorrow against Sunderland. We need a win, Come on You Gunners!!
