Weekend Roundup – Sick Edition

It’s been a difficult week here in the Not Made of Money household. All four children have been sick. Thankfully everyone looks to be on the mend now, but what a week it was! Our Target pharmacist knows us all by name now. On to the reading for the week.

I want to give a big welcome to Frugal Zeitgeist to the Frugal Blog Network. This past week she shared her gym shopping experience with a pretty comprehensive look at what questions to ask and how to get the best possible cost. Almost Frugal takes a look at frugal gift giving. Frugal Babe shares the cheapest health food. Tight Fisted Miser lists five free frugal resources.

We participated in the Carnival of Personal Finance hosted at Broke Grad Student. My favorites from this week are:

We also participated in this week’s Festival of Frugality hosted at Fire Finance. Here are my top picks from this week:
