Festively frugal
| The 110th Festival of Frugality went up yesterday at Mrs. Micah. There's plenty of good stuff in there. I especially appreciated Bean Sprout's alternatives to Freecycle. I've never actually used Freecycle, but I am subscribed to the local group. I had to opt out of having posts e-mailed to me because they were so frequent, and it seemed that half of them were the mods scolding and nitpicking the users. That really turned me off, and I haven't been back to check it since. Other articles I enjoyed include this post at Frugal Parents on reusing greeting cards to make bookmarks and gift tags. File this under "concepts so obvious I feel like a moron for never having thought of it." I hate to throw out greeting cards, but after a while they just become clutter. Now I've got some good idea for making them serve a purpose other than soothing my inner sentimental packrat. There are plenty of other great reads over there, so go check 'em out!
