Bookmarked: Carnivals and More – July 26
Carnivals
Emily over at Taking Charge hosted the 162nd Carnival of Personal Finance: Baseball edition, which included my post on the value of online savings accounts.
I also participated in the Festival of Frugality #135 – The Frugal All Over Edition at Antishay Ventenne, which included my post on the Best Buy Reward Zone program.
Thanks to both for hosting!

- Somehow, Squawkfox came up with 50 Reasons to Go Green with Reusable Shopping Bags, the most obvious and important reasons having to do with the environmental impact. I have been thinking about doing this for some time, and I may just now do it.
- Over at Cheap Healthy Good, I enjoyed “The Booze of Summer: A Quick and Dirty Guide to Lighter, Cheaper Drinks.” I have found myself out at social functions with bars more often lately, and so this is a nice guide to try to stay cheap (and semi-healthy).
- Upgrade: Travel Better recently looked at the potential fall-out of American Airlines’ recent decision to pull its results from the Kayak search engine. Is comparison shopping about to die? I hope not, but this is certainly an ominous sign.
- And in honor of my friend who can’t stand it when I turn our air conditioner on, The Personal Financier takes a look at ten ways to more efficiently and economically use the air conditioner. All very timely reminders!
Have a good weekend everybody!

Thank you for the mention! Using reusable bags is really easy…it just takes some planning.
