Bits of Pieces

Check out the Festival of Frugality at On Financial Success!

Three of my favorite posts:

• Sound Money Matters discusses pet costs. In my mind, my pets are priceless… and worth every penny. But these tips for lowering their annual expenses can be useful.
• Know the Ledge writes about 5 things you shouldn’t buy cheap. I can’t say I really agree about all of them, but it’s definitely entertaining to read.
• Money Changes Things talks about inconspicuous consumption. As a bit of a crunchy granola type, this post very much appealed to my eco-friendly side.

Don’t forget to check out the Carnival of Money Stories at Can I Get Rich On A Salary, too.  I found these great posts:

• The Happy Rock told me how to check the status of my tax refund, if need be.  (I’m not getting one this year.)
• I’ve Paid For This Twice Already reveals some insight into financial health.
• Think Your Way To Wealth discussed the costs of procrastination and disorganization.  I’m pretty organized… but I do have a tendency to procrastinate.
