The Carnival Review

I don't feel so good& There have been some great carnivals this week! I thought I’d highlight a few of the ones I’ve enjoyed so far. Check them out when you get a chance!

Carnival of Personal Finance #118 was held over at Money, Matter, and More Musings. It was a massive carnival with 88 submissions making the cut. My article on disputing incorrect collections on my credit report was included.

The Festival of Frugality #92 is up over at No Credit Needed. There were quite a few great submissions this week. My article on choosing not to give up TiVo made the edition.

Carnival of Money Stories #26 was particularly interesting over at I’ve Paid Twice For This Already. PaidTwice did a great job weaving the submissions into a story and my post about my furniture giving up was included. Very creative, PaidTwice!

Make It From Scratch #31 was hosted by Sunflowers in my Kitchen this week. I’m glad she enjoyed my recipe for Chicken Tetrazzini and included it.

The Carnival of Debt Management #24 was held by Debt Consolidation Lowdown. My post about setting up an overage fund was included.

The Carnival of Recipes was hosted by This Mama Cooks. Sadly, I wasn’t aware the theme was diet recipes so my Tetrazzini recipe was a little out of place. I guess my recipe served as an example of how NOT to diet.

My favorite articles from these carnivals:

Thanks for the link, and I’ll have to wander over to the food-related carnivals - can’t think about money all the time, after all!

Brip Blap -

We blog a lot about food because we love food, and it was one area we had to cut back in when we made the decision to “go frugal”. At first, it was really difficult changing our eating habits, but we’ve found so many ways to save money with food and still eat extremely well. It’s a great way to be frugal without having to *feel* frugal. It’s a big part of what keeps us happy.

I love to cook, and used to cook professionally, so you will definitely be seeing great cost-cutting recipes on this site.
