Festival of Frugality #131
This week I participated in the Festival of Frugality #131 - Summer Savings Edition hosted by the Broke Grad Student. Included was my post on Why i Hate Open-Loop Gift Cards. There were some great entries, so check out the rest of the festival when you get a chance.
Woops - Festival of Frugality #126
I also somehow forgot to mention that in May, I was pleased to be included in the Festival of Frugality - #126, The If i Had A Car Edition kindly hosted by The Financial Blogger. Included in the Festival was my recent post on The Microsoft Office Burden. My apologies for forgetting the mention until now.

Outside of the great entries in the Festival of Frugality, here are some of the posts that have caught my eye in the last week or so:
- Trent over at The Simple Dollar posted on Ten Tips to Maximize the Value of a Doctor’s Visit. I was actually thinking about this subject the other day — doctors visits are difficult enough once; you might as well get as most out of a visit as you can.
- Frugal Dad has a great post on Cherry-Picking Coupons to Maximize Savings. For some reason it had never occurred to me to turn to eBay for grocery coupons. Thanks to this post, I just won a whole bunch of coupons for Tropicana Orange Juice.
- Five Cent Nickel posted on The Hidden Costs of Renting a Car. It really is amazing how quickly the costs add up, which is why I usually opt to try public transportation whenever possible when traveling. Sometimes that just not possible, but FCN’s post provides helpful knowledge to be armed with.
