truetrae smart shopping expert headshotI’m Trae Bodge, a smart shopping expert with a passion for helping you save money and get the best value from your purchases.
I love thrift stores, modern art, good food, and exploring new places. When I’m not helping you find the best deals out there, I’m hanging with my 15-year-old daughter, Sadie Mae, and my husband, Chris.
Happy Shopping!

MY FAVORITE WAY TO SAVE $

I have been saving my spare change and contributing monthly to Acorns for several years now and I’ve saved over six figures (so clearly, it works). If you’d like to see how this easy-to-use platform can help you crush your savings goals, click the Acorns logo below! Plus, if you open an account with my link, you’ll get a little money to invest and I will too (thanks!).acorns savings app logo
