Inaugural Podcast for Bree on a Budget featuring Bree Pappan, Gregory Howell and Cynthia Nicola

Voices of Pueblo: Bree on a Budget – Thrifting and Savings

The Voices of Pueblo podcast welcomes a brand-new voice to the conversation — Bree Pappan, the thrifty maverick behind the Bree on a Budget column in the September issue of the Pueblo Star Journal.

In this inaugural companion episode, Bree joins Gregory Howell and Cynthia Nicola to go beyond the page and dive into the art and practice of saving smart. Together, they explore how thrifting, resale, and secondhand shopping have become essential tools for Pueblo families facing rising costs — and how these choices also support local businesses and reduce waste.

From practical tips and personal stories to a few laughs about bargain hunting, this episode shows that living well on a budget is not only possible, it’s empowering.

Whether you’re a seasoned bargain hunter or just beginning to look for new ways to stretch your dollars, this conversation offers insight, encouragement, and a fresh sense of community spirit.
