Eat a Cheaper Breakfast, Dress Your Kids On Less @ The Carnivals

The Carnival of Personal Finance #159 has made it to Greener Pastures: Personal Finance, and the theme was about the construction of “the first zero-emissions city” in the world. My post on expensive children’s toys was selected as an Editor’s Pick! Thank you for the honor, Lisa! Here were a few articles I quite enjoyed:

The Festival of Frugality #132 was brought to you by Budgets Are Sexy, with the theme “Frugal Is, As Frugal Does” ala “Frugal Gump” .

I’d also like to make special mention of the Carnival of 20-Something Finances, Brazil-Carnival Style! where Dollar Frugal selected my post on how to save money by paying ourselves first, as the #1 pick for this edition of the carnival. Thank you Brooke!
