Here we are at another wonderful Friday! I’ve spent the week trying to play catch up with all the blogs I read, commenting, and replying to emails since we didn’t have internet last week while we were on vacation.
It was great to have an escape from the world wide web, but I’m also glad to be back home and caught up (mostly) and falling back in step with everything.
Here are the blog posts that caught my eye this past week!
Enjoy and have a great weekend.
Emily at Remodeling This Life gives us a refreshing look at the little reminders of why we choose to live frugally. Sometimes it gets hard and it’s nice to take a breather, step back, and examine why we live this way.
Ashley at Wide Open Wallet tells us why her and her family eat out as often as they do. I love her honesty. For us, it’s our monthly splurge on our cable package. Sure, we could cut all the frills out, but we enjoy our movie channels and HD package.
Kacie at Sense to Save shows us how to work expensive ingredients into your grocery budget. This is something that could really come in handy. I always forget to budget for special ingredients, so making room for ‘em could help in the future!
Karen from Living Well On Less reminds us that living frugally doesn’t mean giving up on the hobbies you love. Just take a more frugal approach, make it last longer, find ways to fit it into your budget. Living frugal doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun and enjoy yourself!
Linsey at Wise Bread compiled 8 great meatless dishes for meat and tater lovers! I need to take a look at some of these, as cooking with less meat is going to help with our new budget due to my going to a part time job, and my husband is a huge meat eater.
Paid Twice from I’ve Paid For This Twice Already tells us how she went from feeling guilty spending money on “fun stuff” to feeling ok about it because it became a part of the budget. I think it’s important to still have fun even if you’re trying to live frugally and incorporating a bit of “fun money” into your budget (if available) can be a healthy thing.
