You wouldnt do a root canal or an appendectomy on yourself so why dont more of us use a professional to help manage our money? The Cookies explain how a financial planner can help you reach your financial goals and grow your money. The Cookies also help a family with multiple pets and even more vet bills, find out if pet insurance is right for them; plus they speak to a vet to find ways to save money on vet costs and medications without sacrificing care. Robyn then challenges each Cookie to borrow a friendly pooch and compare 5 different ways to groom a dog: do-it-yourself, vet grooming, a large chain pet store with drop off service, a u-groom, and a groomer that comes to you. Will battling suds in your own bathroom be cheaper than a drop off service with no hassle? And ever wonder why you end up paying so many additional fees on special event tickets? The Cookies did, so they head out to investigate. An insider in the biz helps decipher what it all means, who the money ends up going to, and better still - ways to avoid paying them.
