What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDemocrats are putting the blame for higher prices on President Trump, and the fight has widened the map of competitive midterm districts deep into Republican territory.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy guest has built a morning routine around all this. Juniper Tolliver founded The Receipt Ritual, and she joins us from Scottsdale.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJuniper, what is a price tag morning?
Juniper TolliverHank, it starts at five a.m. with warm lemon water, then you stand in the kitchen and whisper the price of eggs to the sunrise.
Juniper TolliverUse code SAVE ten.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou whisper the price of eggs. Does the routine lower the price of eggs?
Juniper TolliverIt lowers your stress about them, and that's the real inflation. This gold egg timer is part of the bundle. Code SAVE ten R.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth parties are blaming each other over prices, and voters are looking for someone to blame. Where does your routine land politically?
Juniper TolliverOh, I'm completely neutral.
Juniper TolliverI blame nobody, I just breathe in for four counts and out for the whole grocery bill. Code SAVE ten R seven.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat code is longer than it was a minute ago.
Juniper TolliverIt's seasonal. Codes adjust, Hank, just like your cart. The full routine is only two hundred and forty dollars a month.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo hundred and forty dollars a month, to cope with the price of eggs.
Juniper TolliverWith the code it's practically free. Code SAVE ten R seven, dash, plus, gold, eleven. Turn the timer, Hank, feel it.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI tried that code on your website during the break. It said the code does not exist.
Juniper TolliverThat's the cleanse. Retype it with gratitude.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll pay full price. It's cheaper than the code.
