Frugality Elsewhere

Between a broken toe and a cold, I've managed to forget all about which day it is and failed to write about frugality this week. I've failed to do much of anything except nap on the couch - but I do have a few baking projects for the Easter long weekend which I'll be sharing with you later on.

Luckily, other bloggers haven't been as lazy as I have, so here are some recommendations from this week:

• J D Roth at Get Rich Slowly discussed shopping for the sake of shopping
• Frugal and Thriving featured a guest post on how lent can apply to the secular (which I particularly enjoyed because I almost always practice lent - but I wouldn't call myself a religious person)
• Lindy at Minting Nickels set herself some (mostly financial) goals for the next quarter
• MSN Smart Spending featured a post by David Ning on five money truths that aren't obvious
