Clever Posts Of The Week

Clever Posts Of The Week – August 1st

Whew, I’m glad it’s the weekend!  After a 3 day mini-vacation to our favorite water park destination earlier in the week, and a hectic couple of days at work trying to catch up I’m exhausted and ready for some down time!  Between our trip to Chicago earlier in the month, and our water park trip this week our wallet is exhausted and ready for some downtime as well.  We’re looking forward to a couple of weeks of low spending before we gear up for the school year.  Our son will be a sophomore this year, so we have to prepare for him getting his license in a few months.  Yikes, if that doesn’t make a guy feel old….

Here’s my top five posts of the week, enjoy and see you back here on Monday!

  1. Vacation money: Pay with cash or credit card? from DINKS Finance
  2. 10 tips to help you save money on your broadband from Money Bulldog
  3. The Best Ways to Save Money When You Go Shopping from Money Stepper
  4. Why Cheaper Isn’t Always Better from Prairie Eco Thrifter
  5. Resources To Use When You’re Going on a Budget from Avant Credit
