This week in Festivals & Carnivals….
The Carnival of Debt Reduction (#42) is up at Blogging Away Debt. Our Solutions for Cheap Trash Bags was included this week.
The Carnival of Family Life (#8) is back in its hometown at The Pink Diary. Our blog entry on Simon Mall’s Kidgits Program was included this week.
Raising 4 Boys hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance #55 (which was no small task given the holiday weekend). Included within this carnival of finance was our Sam’s Club Review (if you haven’t read it- it truly is a must read!)
The Festival of Frugality took a vacation this week and will be back, in full force, next week.
This week’s good reads….
Pragmatic Finance has a great blog entry on Discover Cards current rewards. Most notably, for parents, is the five percent back on tuition costs (including preschool!).
Supermom in NY has three tips for people trying to get themselves out of debt. She has a particularly useful one on utilizing money orders for people who are not cash savvy.
Tired but Happy has a great blog entry on the public school systems. She is exploring charter schools (just like our family!) and offers some great options for parents when choosing the public schools.
