Meet the Blogger

Hey there, and welcome to 2 Hearts 1 Wallet! If you’ve ever wondered how to slay your grocery budget like it’s the finale of The Great British Bake Off, or how to turn pantry basics into meals that would make Gordon Ramsay say, “That’s bloody brilliant,” you’re in the right place. This blog is all about eating well, saving smart, and creating delicious vibes with your partner—without crying over your Venmo balance.

Hi! I’m Stephanie, Born in the Bay State, but raised by the Big Apple—I’m an honorary New Yorker now! I know all too well the struggle of living large in the city of $8 oat milk lattes. I’m married to my amazing husband, and together we’ve perfected the art of ballin’ on a budget. Whether it’s mastering the weekly Trader Joe’s haul or figuring out how to make date night magic happen in a 500-square-foot apartment, I’m here to share all the tips and tricks we’ve picked up along the way. When I’m not channeling my inner Ina Garten, you can find me deep-diving into TikTok food hacks or hunting for NYC’s best cheap eats.
