I participated in a little project where a blogger would share his or her best savings tip with a fellow blogger. Called a blog swap and sponsored by the Yakezie bloggers network.
I’m surprised no one came with a ‘yard sale‘ post!
My swap
MoneyCone hosted Penny’s post from The Saved Quarter titled Never Pay Full Price. Chock full of pro-tips from a frugal shopper!

I really enjoyed your post on your printer eating up funds! haha
I like your new template and format. I haven’t been here for a while but I immediately notices this change. Nice work! I’ve missed a lot, haven’t I?
Thank you for all the nice words you said about me while my blog was in limbo. I will never forget it.
Thanks Aloysa, glad you like it! And welcome back!
I think it’s great how the entire Yakezie group shares their thoughts and ideas! Great tips from all!
I couldn’t participate in the #2 swap (will do the third). Great tips from everyone.
You should Suba! This was my first swap and it was definitely worth it!
Nice roundup. I just posted a few of my own favorites. I’ll have to go through these articles too now.
Just wanted to say again how awesome I thought your grouping was in the blog swap. I thought everyone did a great job, but the two of you were definitely bringing some A+ game.
Thanks for the kind words BP! Much appreciated!
