Saving Money List of Lists:

  1. Use It Up: Frugality And Food at Bible Money Matters – This is a guest post from the writer of stretchydollar.com.  It’s part one of a four-part series titled, “Use It Up, Wear It Out, Make It Do, or Do Without.”  This article is great because it tackles the importance of buying what you will use, instead of wasting what you don’t.  In a nutshell, he says when you waste food, you waste money.  Be sure to check out the others in the series: Part 2: Wear It Out, Part 3: Make It Do, and Part 4: Or Do Without.

The Blog Carnival Grab Bag

I have been blogging for one year, and I feel as though I was trapped inside a cave, because for most of that time, I only peaked my head out occasionally to speak my mind.  Thanks to Darren at Problogger for showing me the importance of solid interaction with other bloggers, and J Money, from Budgets Are Sexy, for yanking me out of the cave and encouraging me to participate in these carnivals.  Yeah J Money, now I understand your addiction a little bit better.  My Google feed page is seriously suffering from a capacity overload!!  Good thing I like to read, and hopefully soon I’ll be ready to host some carnivals myself!
