[quote=Anonymous]I think you can mention what YOU are doing and maybe they will pick up on the fact that your habits are different than their s and perhaps that’s part of the problem.

For example you could say - “Thank goodness for Harris Teeter gas points, I saved $16 today!” Or “Can’t wait to see what the Prime Day deals are so I can start stashing away gifts for Christmas!”

I have two moms in my neighborhood who are always complaining about how expensive kids activities are. Based on their job titles, I assume we earn more.  Come to find out that they both use Fresh Direct or Instacart for all their groceries and that they just buy whatever ingredients they need for the recipes they pick out. I stock up on basics at Costco and shop the weekly sale ad. I use the store’s own program so that I order online and they put it in my trunk - and I get the local sale prices and my rewards points. I didn’t scold them or try to give them advice, I just mentioned that I use the store program because it’s cheaper. [/quote]
