Hey everyone, it’s a real honor to be hosting the 250th edition of the Festival of Frugality. I’d like to thank everyone who submitted a post, I had a great time reading them all and had a tough time choosing which to post.
The last few days here in Upstate NY there is a chill in the air and the leaves are falling and it reminds me that the only green we’re going to see for a long time is the money in our wallets, so now is as good a time as any to try to find creative ways to keep more of our money in there whether it’s from investing, saving or just plain paying less for things you would buy anyway. Now kick back with a nice cup of hot apple cider and have a look at some of the best contributions of this week.
