Two years ago, I had never read a blog. However, a few months before I had my leave of absence after my daughter’s birth, I was searching for ways to save money and now I faithfully read several blogs every day. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you. If you have others that you recommend, let me know in the comments section.
Money Saving Mom—She offers a ton of deals to get free and cheap items. She also shares personal stories about her family’s frugal activities such as how they managed to save 100% down on a house. I check her blog several times a day. Thanks to her almost all of the photo books I got for family for Christmas were free.
Life as Mom—She covers a variety of topics from child rearing, cooking, saving money, etc. I check her blog once a day.
Milk Donor Mama—This blogger writes about her daily life and her pursuit to live a frugal life. Like me, she is now pregnant and thinking of quitting her job. I am most impressed with how many groceries she can buy and still pay so little out of pocket. I check her blog daily.
The Frugal Girl—She writes about all aspects of frugal living. She is also my inspiration for my food waste posts each week. I am sure if I did not keep track of food waste for my blog we would waste significantly more. I check this blog daily.
The Simple Dollar—This is one of the few blogs I read written by a man. He writes on all things financial with a frugal slant. He posts twice daily, and I religiously check this blog twice daily. I have just recently found this one, so I am still reading through his archives.
$5 Dinners—She posts dinner recipes she creates for her family. All of them are less than $5. She also includes her grocery trips and how she saved money. She just recently published a cookbook. I check this blog a few times a week.
Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures—Just as the title suggests, this blogger shares her cooking adventures. I have tried, and enjoyed, several of her recipes. The very first recipe I tried was her Panera Bread Broccoli Soup, and it was delicious! I check this blog a few times a week.
The Grocery Cart Challenge—She posts her weekly shopping trips and has a budget of $60 per week to feed 6 people. What I like most about this blog are her practical money saving tips. She has some great ideas for saving money that I had never thought of. I check this blog a few times a week.
Faithful Homemaking—This blogger lives out West, so I enjoy reading about a climate so different from my own. She does write about frugal living, but she also posts great activities to do with kids and craft ideas. I also can relate to her struggles as she raises three young children. I check this blog a few times a week.
Jill Cataldo—I wrote about this “coupon maven” a few days ago. I check her site every Tuesday to read about the best deals at Dominick’s and Jewel’s. It is amazing how much she can save at the grocery store!
A Full Cup—I check this site once a week to find the best deals at CVS and the coupon matches. They feature a variety of stores including Walgreens and Target.
