Frugal Mania

If you hadn’t noticed folks, I’m running a bit behind these days, but with good reason. I have recently moved, had to deal with my mother being in town (not as bad as that may sound - she works out of town for weeks at a time), and had to do some legal running around for a friend in need.

Oh, and in two days I will be leaving for North Carolina where I will surprise my father for Father’s Day - the first time we have seen each other in 18 years.

It means I have also been remiss in sharing with you the current week’s Festival of Frugality, #128 in the weekly series. The Festival of Frugality is hosted at No Debt Plan this week. Head on over and check it out.

On regular days, No Debt Plan writes about helping you get and stay out of debt. I strongly recommend his RSS feed if that is a topic that interests you. And if that isn’t a topic that interests you then when they heck are you even reading this? Do you just love me that much?

Here are my personal picks from this week’s edition, though all of them deserve some kudos:

• Budgets are Sexy, “10 Reasons to be “cool” and make your own cards”. What, would you rather give your cash to Hallmark?
• FIRE Finance has a great piece on generic drugs that you really should read.
• “Do you notice frugality?” from Mighty Bargain Hunter gets the ‘it made me think’ award for the week.

Hope you’re have a great week! I promise to do better about not leaving you to wander the unfrugal life without my expert (if overbearing) guidance.
