The Festival of Frugality is up at Broke Grad Student. I loved Me vs. Debt’s post about dumpster diving and getting free stuff from the curb. When we replaced our 25 year old kitchen stove a few weeks ago (with a newer one we found on Craig’s list), we advertised our old one on Craig’s list for free. Took about 24 hours for someone to come pick it up from the curb. Much better than sending it to a landfill. And I have to say, we don’t have a Trader Joes around here, but I’m tempted to see if my husband wants to go on a dumpster scouting mission at Whole Foods one of these nights…
I also liked the post from Funny About Money describing ten great investments in frugality. I think it’s interesting to note that pretty much all of them are also investments in environmentally-friendly living. Saving the planet and saving money at the same time – nicely done.Â
Value For Your Life has a great article with 25 ways to save money. Very well thought-out and lots of good tips there.Â
