A few wonderful posts to enjoy


Recently I have come across some really great posts from blogs that I frequently read. I just had to share them. Enjoy!

The first post I wanted to share is actually a giveaway post. Mrs. Wilt, from The Sparrow's Nest is teaming up with Crystal Paine, from Money Saving Mom and Biblical Womanhood, to offer a chance to win 2 free Supermarket Savings 101 courses! This is the course that I took that started me on the path to the frugal life I lead today. I have cut my grocery budget by 60% since taking this course! This is a great opportunity you don't want to miss. This is an excerpt taken from Mrs. Wilt's post. In the course you will find:


  • Designing a menu plan that really works

  • Menu planning on a budget

  • Simple, no-fuss, frugal menu ideas and recipes

  • Creating a workable grocery budget and how to stick with it

  • Learning how to find good deals

  • Time management and efficiency in frugal shopping

  • The basics of using coupons - where to find them, which coupons to cut, how to organize them

  • Step-by-step explanations on how to make the most of deals at CVS and Walgreens

  • A photo tutorial of a typical $35/week grocery shopping trip for our family including some of our favorite $35/week menu ideas

  • Links to helpful resources and websites to aid you in this money-saving journey

  • And much more!
Oh, and if you've never read Mrs. Wilt's blog, she is doing a month long series on cheerful thrift right now that i'm sure you would enjoy.


The next post I wanted to share is called Recession Optimism, by June, at A Wise Woman Builds Her Home. I felt went along so well with what I was saying in my post on how to afford a larger family. It's about what's really important in our lives. Hope you enjoy it.


The last post I want to share is on the Blessing of children. It is written by Stacy McDonald, who is the author of Passionate Housewives Desperate for God. I am in the middle of reading this book and I love it so far. Stay tuned because I hope to do a review and giveaway of my own after i'm done reading it. You can visit her blog, Your Sacred Calling, here.
