The latest edition of the Festival of Frugality is up at Mighty Bargain Hunter.

 

Here are my favorites from this carnival:

Second-Hand Home Improvement Supplies
Second-hand doesn’t necessarily mean second-rate. There’s great quality stuff out there if you know where to look. I’ve saved a ton of money doing this!

 

The Archenemy of Frugality
Uncommon Cents nails this one right on the head!

 

Is Being Cheap or Frugal Costing You Money?
I’ve been known to step over a dollar to pick up a dime…

 

Take Advantage of Education Reimbursement
It amazes me how many people just ignore this valuable job benefit! Blueprint for Financial Prosperity explains why you should be taking advantage of it.

 

Comparing Working vs. Staying Home
As a current stay-at-home dad, I can vouch for the financial and lifestyle advantages of skipping work altogether!

 

Also make sure you check out my contribution to the Festival of Frugality- Free Home Bar Plans and Wine Rack Plans. The best way to save money on alcohol is not to drink. For those of us for whom that is not an option, a DIY home pub is great way to spend less.
