Saturday Roundup: Countdown edition
We're counting down to a new baby around here: the due date is just 7 days from today. How does that tie in to a roundup of frugal links? I don't know, but it's sure on my mind. Wait - I've got it. Making stuff is more frugal than buying it, right?
But on to business.
Here are the week's submissions from readers:
- Jenn @ Frugal Upstate said: As prices increase and budgets are groaning, the food budget is one of the places many of us are looking to cut back. To help, I'm running a frugal food series, highlighting one frugal staple each week. Part I is "Eggs" and my fabulous readers have contributed over 30 links to recipes that can be made with this inexpensive protein. Look forward to seeing tuna, beans etc in future weeks!
- Maria said: I scout out local food sources, from pasture-based dairies to family produce farms and from local cattle for a side of beef to a huge fruit orchard in the next county over. We save money compared to grocery store prices, and are supporting our local economy as much as we can. It's a win-win for us, financially and nutritionally.
- My friend Mother Hen reminded me of HomeschoolFreebieOfTheDay.com. Check it out!
- Laura Williams shares this tip: Baby Bottle Dryer to Baggie Dryer = Frugal Find
- FrugalChoice reminds us that if you let your car idle when it's not moving, you're getting 0 mpg for that time period. If your car is going to be idling for over one minute, turn off the engine and you'll save gas. If you've heard the myth that it takes more gas to start and stop your car than to idle, keep in mind that that's outdated advice.
There's one roundup of links to get things started. Now it's your turn. If you know of another roundup of frugal links or if you did your own, add it to Mr. Linky below!
