I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…

Sunday Morning Link Love – Thinkers Edition

As always, some great discussions on the blog this week, including the economy, frugality, and even some deals.  Here are some posts from around the blogosphere (a word I saw in a mainstream newspaper this week even!) that made me think or were awesome tips I wanted to spread around:

• All Things Being Equal – via Mapgirl’s Fiscal Challenge (what a simple and great analysis that cuts right to the chase of why we want and why we don’t need)
• Identity: The Problem Money Can’t Solve – via Frugal in the Fruitlands (and I still am not sure I’ve found my answer)
• Frugal Clothing and Laundry Strategies – via Thrifty Florida Mama (I do the clothes inventory with my kids and it has saved me countless pointless shopping trips!)
• Coupons Make You Buy Things You Normally Wouldn’t – via Tales From The Road Less Traveled (and yay for that!)
• Perk Up Store Brand Coffee – via My Daily Dollars (you know I am working on frugal yet tasty coffee!)
• Frugality vs Self Sufficiency – via Brip Blap (great food for thought)
• In Times Like These, Separate The Want From The Need – via Wisebread’s Paul Michael (and more great food for thought)
• Best Certificate of Deposit Rates  – via Blueprint for Financial Prosperity (in case you need somewhere for your money that’s short term and stable)
• From Pennies One Million Dollars Grows – via Our Fourpence Worth (I love the small steps, big things)
• A Little Something Learned About Apartment Living – via Master Your Card (yikes!)

I also entered some carnivals last week, including:

• Carnival of Debt Reduction at No Debt Plan
• Carnival of Personal Finance at Sound Money Matters
•  Festival of Frugality at My Two Dollars

Check those out for some more great reading!   I need to get off my figurative duff and enter some of next week’s carnivals before the clock ticks to zero…
