Not Made Of Money

This past week I was lucky enough to find two super soaker water guns on clearance at Target for $1.98 each and at that price, of course, I purchased them both! Mr. NMOM and the kids have been having a great time today playing in the backyard with the water guns and enjoying the beautiful weather we are having here in Florida. It’s given me a chance to get caught up on my reading (and my chores!).

Here are some highlights from the Frugal Blog Network for this past week:

Almost Frugal shows how to cut a little boy’s hair. I admire her hair cutting ability; I have not been nearly as successful at cutting my own children’s hair. Frugal Babe talks about giving an unconventional gift for a wedding. I think this is a great idea and anyway how many toasters does anyone really need? Frugal Zeitgeist discusses spending money to save money. When I find nonperishable items at bargain prices I stock up. Tight Fisted Miser shares some thoughts about how much you should save for retirement. I agree that there is not a “one size fits all” formula.

Not Made Of Money participated in the Carnival of Personal Finance this past week which as hosted at One Caveman’s Financial Journey. I loved the “grilling” theme in honor of Labor Day. Here are my favorite articles from the carnival:
