MSN Money goes Frugal
I’ve been quiet about this for far too long and it is time to not only toot my own horn (which sounds much dirtier than it is, by the way) but to share another wonderful frugal blog with all of my lovely frugal maniacs here at FM.
Over the past few weeks I’d noticed some incoming traffic from a blog on MSN that is written by Donna Freedman and Karen Datko. Smart Spending is full of great info that isn’t necessarily frugal-specific but it has tons of really useful tips and ideas that are frugal by extension.
The writing style brings the info to their readers in a handy and easy to read format and I haven’t told them yet that I’m going to start stealing some ideas from their uncanny methods for summarizing. I tend to have a problem with that quite a bit - tend to get long winded at times.
I know this surprises all of you who see me as the perfect example of a human being to which we should all aspire to become…
We Internet writers share a kinship no matter how much we may differ in our topics, but when I saw the introduction video that is linked to from Donna’s blog, I knew she was one lady I wish lived next door. Suffice it to say that when I make it back Westward one of these days soon, Donna Freedman and I are going to have to meet!
Check out Donna and Karen and their wonderful blog Smart Money @ MSN Money, tell ‘em you read about ‘em on Frugal Mania and that Michael wants to meet them for coffee one day soon!

Michael, Thanks for the kind words. I greatly appreciate them.
Coffee would be difficult because Donna lives in Seattle and I’m in north-central Montana, but you never know what the future will bring.

Karen, I travel a lot! I could have morning coffee in Seattle and afternoon tea in Montana! Although I would want to be in your neck of the woods for the sunset - there is nothing in the world that compares to the Montana sky at sunset!!!
