Around the Blogosphere: 1/25/09

You know what happens when another site links to me?  It pops up on my WordPress Dashboard  and I click through the link to make sure nobody is calling me names.  So far, so good (on the name calling part). 

Guess what also happens?  I go poking around your site and usually find some gems!

Some of my favorite posts from the past few weeks include:

I think my absolute favorite for the past few weeks was a guest post on Wide Open Wallet written by Saver in the City:  Grocery Store Mind Games

 Mercedes (I think I’m developing a full-blown “girl crush” on her)posted a great article entitled “Would You Do This If you Didn’t Have To?”  It’s a great topic!  I know that if money was no object, I would have a hard time switching to “non-frugal mode”!

My New 30 popped up on my Dashboard just the other day and when I clicked through I found a site full of recipes that my husband will LOVE.  As you may remember, I have Bisquick coming out of my ears and her Bisquick Biscuits with Chorizo Sausage Gravy looks wonderful (as do the other Bisquick recipes in the post).  The recipes may not all be frugal and they may not be diet-friendly…but they sure do look good!  Make sure you check out her Healthy & Delicious High Fiber Pancakes (made with Bisquick!) 

If you’ve been couponing for more than 2 months, you probably have more crescent roll coupons than you know what to do with!  TidyMom posted a recipe for Chocolate Crescents that is wonderful!  I’m thinking that I can stock up with the next sale, make these and freeze them until I’m ready to bake!

I’ve been meaning to post this for over a week, but Kendra at Shopping For Two has updated her Budget Spreadsheet and I just LOVE the tweaks that she made!    This is the same spreadsheet that we use each month to create our Family Budget.  To get the spreadsheet, simply sign up for her email list.  Don’t worry – she only sends a few emails a month and they are packed with valuable information (and she’s a sweetie!)! 

Did you see any other great posts or would you like me to read one of yours?  Send me the link!
