Hey Prescott, hope your week’s off to a good start!
In today’s wallet-friendly edition: A $41,000 Subaru donation, Earth Day Celebration, and Chalk It Up! + lots of fun things to do for free.
Gold & silver are hot: Gold's been taking a hit the last few weeks after coming off its best year since 1979. Despite the short term pullback, experts expect it to rebound this year, and they're even more optimistic about silver. Curious why precious metals are still in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free, and definitely worth a read.* |
📰 In the newsLocal kindness makes a difference: Findlay Subaru Prescott donated $41,000 through the Share the Love event, with checks to be presented to two local nonprofits, including Dogtree Pines Senior Dog Sanctuary, celebrating support from Prescott -- read the full story.
Two years of research unveiled: Prescott Valley is asking residents to weigh in on a draft Wildlife Connectivity Guide protecting waterways and open spaces, with an upcoming open house and option to submit feedback online -- see open house and feedback options.
Factors shaping local retail: An explainer shows how retailers choose Prescott Valley sites, needing 20,000 to 25,000 residents, good access and traffic corridors, and why town influence is limited in a tertiary market -- read the full explainer.
Heads up for pet parents: An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half — this free comparison tool makes it easy.*
Highlights this week: |
💎 Local business spotlightRefill your art stash: The Art Store keeps Prescott’s creatives stocked with friendly know-how, a deep selection, and an online shop for late-night inspiration. With brushes, paper, inks, and more at the ready... even that long-delayed piece starts to feel doable.
Broth therapy, unlocked: Because sometimes dinner is a steaming bowl and quiet headspace, Vietnamese Pho Noodle Shop in Prescott ladles deeply savory pho, with brisket nam, the all-in dac biet, and a legit chay version. Settle in, sip the broth, and let the world hush for a minute.
Fresh hair, fun vibes: If your strands need love, Whiskey & Willow Salon and Boutique brings bright western-boho energy with color, cuts, extensions, and lash and brow magic, all from a friendly, talented crew. You’ll leave feeling polished and a little extra put together.

🫶 We got your backYour homeowners insurance has a blind spot: It covers your house if a tree falls on it. It doesn’t cover your furnace when it quits in January, your AC when it dies in July, or your water heater when it starts leaking on a Tuesday. Those are all classified as "normal wear and tear," and they're 100% on you. American Home Shield can help fill that gap for ~$1/day (even if your appliances and systems are really old).*See what it covers →
Two sprays before bed, no more snoring? It really is that simple. No mouthpiece to wrestle with, no CPAP mask, no nose strips that peel off at 2am. This doctor-developed throat spray has been keeping sleepers quiet for 30 years, and first-time orders are 40% off right now. *See how it works →
Paying more than $25/mo for your phone plan? Most people are (the national average is nearly 4x for a single line)... all because they don’t realize there’s a just-as-good but way more affordable option. Metro by T-Mobile offers unlimited talk, text, and 5G on T-Mobile's network for $25/mo, taxes and fees included. Same towers, same coverage, way smaller bill. *Stop overpaying today →
Hang onto your memories: I found a box of my parents' old home videos last month and realized I had no way to watch them. In case you didn’t know, you can easily convert all your memories to digital – tapes, photos, negatives. All of it. You'll just ship everything in a prepaid kit, they’ll digitize it, and you'll get your originals back plus online anytime access. *See how it works →
Meet your new favorite sheets: You know that thing where you flip your pillow to the cool side? Bedsure's bamboo cooling sheets feel just like that... across your entire bed. Sets this good usually cost at least $100, but these don't and they're on sale right now at the lowest price in the last year. 63,000 people swear by them. They can't all be wrong, right? *See what all the fuss is about → |
