Blog Post Review Day, Vol. 2

September 12, 2007 · Filed Under · 1 Comment 

Carnival TimeCouple carnivals with some great entries that I wanted to talk about. First one is the Festival of Frugality #91 hosted by Stephanie @ Stop the Ride! Well done Stephanie, looks like a lot of work, I like how you categorized the posts. Also, thanks for including my article, My Old Man: Frugal, Cheap, or Just Strange? A few of the posts I really enjoyed:

1- What Do Potty Training Mishaps Got To Do With Money? posted at The Digerati Life. Oh boy, with 3 kids I feel your pain on this stinky situation. We actually used cloth diapers on our first child and saved a lot of money on diapers. Way to much work though, and we went back to disposable diapers on the next 2 kids. I have been using Diapers.com coupons to get a pretty good deal on Pampers, spend $50 or more and they ship for free as well.

2- Millionaire Mommy Next Door wrote a very thought provoking article called The Powerful (and Addictive) Nature of Giving. She is going to be donating revenue from her blog to Kiva.org, very noble endeavor. Best of luck.

3- The Frugal Law Student submitted a guest post by Erica titled 12 Meals that are Easy, Cheap, and Healthy. Great tips that not only apply to starving students but the rest of us as well. My favorite: Curry Mushroom “Chicken”, looks really good, I think I will give it a try.

Second one is the 104th edition of The Carnival of Debt Reduction @ The Happy Rock, titled the “Digging Out Edition”. Very appropriate title! Thanks Rock for including my post How I Got Out Of Credit Card Debt, really appreciate it. Here are a couple posts from the “Digging Out Edition” that I thought were above the fold:

1- One that caught my attention was from We’re In Debt titled Are You Ashamed Of Your Debt? The idea behind this post is that by being open about your debt, it keeps you from hiding it from yourself. Deep…..but true. Also, If you are open about it, there is no doubt that you will be a role model to others with the same problem.

2- Tricia at Blogging Away Debt submitted a post titled I Had No Clue You Could Shift Credit Limits Around! - I found this post very well done. Tricia, I also had no idea that credit card companies are willing to shift balances around like the way you suggested. Good to know. I also like her advice to always wait and think about things clearly before jumping into a decision. This is GREAT advice, especially when dealing with your personal finances.

Check out the carnivals for yourself and happy reading!
