I recently switched to Billie. My mom told me about the brand Billie. Before Billie I was using Shick Intuition razor but I never got around to buying the replacement razors heads for it. So I then switched to the Shick Hydro Silk Trim Style Razor. But I mostly just used the electric shaver part for my bikini area. Then I started using again the cheap $1 pink razors from Walmart or the cheap $1 white razors from Target cause that’s what my mom always had us girls using when we were growing up. But for some reason they wouldn’t shave even if they were new once they got wet it’s like they immediately went bad. So when my mom told me about how she switched to using Billie. So I started looking into the brand. I had my fiancé go to Walmart while I was working and pick one up for me. He got me the Billie razor in the Primary color set. The handle of the razor is green, blue and yellow. He said he almost got me the glow in the dark glitter one but wanted to get me the green one instead. I have not used it yet. But I am planning to soon.
Do you have a category for savings where you are allocation monthly from a checking to savings account? Feels like by budget is incomplete with out it, but they are marked as internal transfers since between accounts. I’ve been torn the best way to handle monthly savings goals
Very helpful video! I used the code above and was able to get a 2 month free trial instead of 1 somehow :) Lowkey obsessed with this app and is way better than mint (btw this is coming from a 8-9 yr user of mint)
You should do an updated video. With over two years of experience on this app, your insights would be greatly appreciated. As I transitioned from meant, I have tried YNAB and it doesn’t play well with a few of my accounts.
This was soooooooo good!!!!!! And I haven’t found anyone with your true experience on this platform! To me…this is the only app that is better than Mint. I am still trying to link our real estate, but I have patience 😂
So I apologize if this comes through like a dumb question but does the Copilot app make the payments for you? Or do you still have to go in and make the payments yourself?
I think the easiest way for you to track this would be to add a new category for the one time bill/expense. Once you've added the category, click on the category from the category dashboard, and in the top right corner you'll see 3 dots. Click the dots and select "Edit the budget." You'll see right under the category name a box that says "Budget for all months." If you click that box, you have the option to select "Different budgets for different months." Once you select the different budget option, it will default to the current month you're in. If that expected expense is in the future, select the month you'll expect the expense from the little timeline beneath the budget line and type in your expected expense for that particular month. Hopefully this helps!
You have the ability to export your transactions at any time. As long as you keep your categorizations up to date, you could create your own reports in excel, but they don't currently offer premade reports. At the end of each month it produces a "month in review" that you can scroll through to analyze your spending, but you can't export those charts, unfortunately.
I’ve been searching online for an alternative to Mint since it is shutting down Dec. 31, 2023. Your video was PERFECT for me. I can’t tell you how helpful this was. Many many thanks!
Style Rewards: You get 2 points for every dollar spent. Once you get 1,000 points ($500 spent) you get a $10 off reward. Not a great perk IMO. If you are a Loft CC holder, you get 5 points for every $1.00 spent. So, $200 spent gets you $10 off.
Some updates a few years later… (from my experience today) Refunds are 30 days. I double checked my e-receipt. I went in today during their 40% off sale. Today is a Tuesday so they must have a new sale structure. Before I went in, I signed up for text message alerts and got an additional 10% off with the code being sent immediately. I ended up with 50% off of all my items. I looked at the price tag prices and what you said still seems to be correct. I had one item from the sale section ending in .99 and the 50% off still applied. As far as sizing, I’m in between 2 sizes and I’m in between petite and regular. (It is a pain) I tried on a pair of size 6 petite pants and they were too short but the waist fit nicely. The associate that helped me said, “Let me get you a size 4 in regular.” I told her there was no way a 4 would fit but she brought me a 4 regular and the waist fit me just as the 6 petite waist. I guess she really knew her stores products and sizing. One thing I wish you would cover is the style rewards program and how that works. Good video even 6 years later. Thank you 😊
Yes. I am doing a test run of Copilot, started today, and added my AES (state) and Aidvantage (federal) loans to the app with the Plaid login. I saw other banks listed for differing loan servicers.
So if she said she can make one razor last about a month or so but only shaves one or times a month…is she saying that the blade only lasts to use 2 times?? Lol
I know this video is older but I thought Ojai Sunset was a great dupe for Viva La Juicy!!! Because I was like, "wait this reminds me so much of something I've smelled before!!!" Not sure if you've smelled Viva La Juicy----but it's sooooo goood and Ojai is a total clean dupe!
An idea for you I have one of the quip cases and fill half way with tips and the other half with cotton balls to remove my eye make-up with just an idea
