festival of frugality #152: affected by recession edition

Uncategorized

welcome to the 152nd edition of the festival of frugality!  i am fwp, your host for this week.

if you haven’t been here before, welcome. while you are here, there are a few things i would encourage you, dear reader, to do:

so here we are in a recession. as a few of you may or may not know, i lost my job friday morning, along with many other americans across the country. and the saga continues.

given this sudden lack of regular income and disruption to cash flow, it is more important than ever for those in a similar predicament to be wary of spending money needlessly.  being frugal and saving can be our most powerful allies during times like these.

as such, here are this week’s carnival submissions that i believe share ways to spend sparingly, not wastefully, or preserving one’s money. thanks to everyone who participated!  please visit the bloggers’ sites to read their full posts, to offer feedback and support.  share this issue with others, and socially-bookmark!
