Weekly Round-Up: Settling Into a Routine

I added a new section to the sidebar:

Almost Frugal is a blog about frugality and about learning to be frugal. For me, being frugal doesn’t mean deprivation, it means being smart with your spending, saving and money goals.

Almost Frugal is, most of all, a community. Because learning about frugality is easier when you are with friends, join me as we journey towards frugality together, sharing tips, tricks and support along the way.

This sums it up for me! Tell me what you think.

Here is a recipe from my food blog Almost Frugal Food

• Potato Leek Tarte

And here are some of my favorite links from the week.

• Simple, Green, Frugal Co-op: Why Garden? I thought that this was an absolutely brilliant post, and beautifully written too.
• Tie the Knot for Less: Frugal Ideas for the Recessionista Bride
• Grocery Store Tricks – How Your Inconvenience Profits Your Supermarket | Pay Less For Food

As always, you can check out the Good Reads page or my Tumblr site Almost Frugal Finds for all my links.

Kelly Rigotti started Almost Frugal as a thirty-something American trying to dig her way out from under a mountain of debt (~€60,000). She's almost frugal and would like to be more so, but shops at Ikea too often for her own good.

Kelly has blogged 556 posts here.
