Here are my five favorites from this carnival:

Shut The Stuff Up
Are you a prisoner of your stuff? Fight back!

Sales: Is buy one get one free really just that?
I hate BOGO sales! They make me feel like I paid twice as much as I should have when the sale wasn’t going on.

Credit Cards: From Foes to Friends
Credit cards don’t have to be your enemy! In fact they can be very helpful.

Travel in Your Own Backyard
Some of my best vacations have been the cheap ones to nearby places!

What Will You Do With Your Rebate?
Will you spend your rebate to help the economy or use it as it most suits your needs? Either way, will it make any difference to the economy?

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.
