Who to contact first

Start with @mealsbymitch, then @dollartreedinners, then @diaryofacheapskate. That sequence prioritizes exact niche alignment, consistency, and then strong observed view performance.

Keep @southernfrugalmomma as a highly relevant smaller-audience option: fit 96, but 3.2K median views. Treat @frugal866 as secondary: 124.2K median views are promising, but only 60% of recent content is on topic.
