The Eight Little Pigs-Festival of Frugality #130

Jump to Comments

I am so excited and honored to be chosen for the editor’s pick for this week’s Festival of Frugality with my CVS Extra Care Bucks post. It’s being hosted by Out of Debt Again and features some great articles!

Here are the other editor’s picks:

• Money and Fitness Blog figures out if Shopping at Warehouse Clubs is Worth the Membership Fee. Mr. A’s Costco membership recently expired. I still have mine because my employer pays for it. We were wondering if it was really worth it to renew Mr. A’s Costco card. This was a timely post with some good answers.
• BeThisWay really sticks to her guns from Are You Going to Be This Way The Rest of the Time I Know You in Free Isn’t Really Free, A Story of Mendacious Marketers. I just loved this post from BeThisWay standing her ground and not getting sucked into this telemarketing deal her hubby asked her to check into.
• SavingAdvice socked away $100,000 in 9 years and tells us about it in How I Lived in Million Dollar Homes for Free. The thought of doing this is pretty amazing. I could never do it, but what a great idea for younger people with few ties.
• Squawkfox tells how women can save potentially $4200 over 35 years with 10 Reasons The Diva Cup Can Change Your Life. I have been a fan of this extremely frugal and green monthly feminine product for over a decade and Fox gives us a great overview.
• Faron Benoit from Financial Learn shares 15 Cheap Romantic Date Ideas. I really liked all these inexpensive little ideas for spending romantic time with your honey. Mr. A and I are technically newlyweds but get so bogged down in daily life. I’m going to keep this list handy and try a few.
• The Happy Rock presents Free Workout Program – 100 Push Up Challenge. I’m always looking for ways to incorporate exercise easily, and when it’s free, that’s even better! I gotta admit while reading this post (since I don’t know if I could even do ONE push up!) I was intrigued by the Happy Rock’s reference to replacing one’s chair with a ball. Hmmm… could do that at home and maybe get some additional exercise in without thinking too much about it.
  
• Grey from Frugal Fu presents The Fashion Debate: Could you (or should you) look good for less? Grey says, “…after some trial and error, I learned to find styles of clothing that were flattering to my body shape. And for once, I felt beautiful.” Amen, sister! I too discovered the knack for finding the right clothes, it’s important for women of all sizes to find the style that looks great.
