Wednesday Linkings - Week 17 of 2008

23rd April 2008

The next five on the blogroll had some great articles today:

Pinyo at Moolanomy had a great article on Credit Card Arbitrage.  Do you do this?  It scares me to even have a credit card in my wallet, but it might be an option in the future if I research it more.

Mrs. Nespy talked about a free dinner on church night.  I love positive articles like this.

Mrs. Micah talked about her Hamburger Helper problems.  I find that I can mimic Hamburger Helper for much cheaper by buying ingredients and making my own sauce.

Mrs. Miniducky made me jealous with some talk about a beach weekend.  I need to take a couple weeks off to unwind.  But when?

Frugal at My First Million at 33 talked about the Grocery Game and thought a person couldn’t break even.  DH doesn’t even like me playing the CVS game, so I don’t think I could work the Grocery Game, too.  Has anyone had success with this despite the cost?

    The link for Mrs. Micah and Hamburger Helper isnt working. :-)

  2. Brooke Says:

    @Fat Girl (it feels horrible to type that) - it should be fixed.

  3. Mrs. Micah Says:

    Well, my site recognizes it now. :) Thanks for including it. I bought myself a mix of Chipotle-related seasonings which I think will help with the spice part.

  4. Pinyo Says:

    Thank you for the shout out. Credit card arbitrage isn’t for me either. But when you hear people make thousands of dollars with it, it made me think twice…a few times.

    Hey, thanks for the link! I like that my fantasy weekend rings true for other people, too.
