By the time you read this, I will be on the road to my old hometown to visit friends and watch some small town fireworks. Fortunately, whatever the public show lacks we will make up for with our own show. No, I’m not foolish enough to waste my own money on fireworks – I let my friends do all the buying!
It’ll be nice to go “back home” for the first time in over eight years. I can’t say why it’s been so long, I just haven’t had any real reason to go back. But it’s a wonderful thing to see how things have changed in your absence.
This week my wife’s article, Save Big With Summer Bargain Hunting, was included in the Carnival of Personal Finance which was hosted this week by Greener Pastures: Personal Finance. This was her first submission, so congrats to The Cavewife for making it into the carnival!
I also wanted to share a special shout to Glblguy, host of Gather Little by Little. He’s a good friend of mine and he just celebrated his first year of blogging this week. Head over and send him your congratulations if you haven’t already.
Here’s some other deserving articles I found this week:
- beingfrugal.net – Are You Under the Influence?
- Clever Dude – Wanting Too Much
- I’ve Paid For This Twice Already – Short Term Disability Insurance As A Stopgap For The True Emergency Fund
- Chief Family Officer – How I paid zero dollars out of pocket at CVS in June
- MSN Smart Spending – 8 natural ways to make water more flavorful
- My Two Dollars – Rice is Nice..And Cheap!
- The Wisdom Journal – The Truth About Your Credit Score (from an expert)

Have a great, safe 4th of July. Enjoy your weekend!
