Frugal Blogs

I love frugal blogs.
I love getting a peek into someone else's home, and seeing how they live, what they save money on, and what they consider most important.
What can I say, I'm such a voyeur.
And I love pics.
(Really need a camera of my own.....but in debt so not just yet.)
Part of it may be I'm in a city on the East Coast, and it seems so many frugal blogs are written by frugal mommy bloggers way on the other side of country, or at least the other side of the Mason Dixie line.
Here are more frugal blogs that make me smile:
An Oregon Cottage. Pictures and recipes and frugal living, oh my :)
Ten Things Farm. Same as the above, with some basic homesteading thrown in.
Diary of a Stay At Home Mom and Full Bellies, Happy Kids are written by a military wife, and although I live a very different lifestyle, her sweet writing and delicious recipes always make me wonder about the road not taken.
Domestic Witch I want her as my Ya-Ya.

Frugal Mommy Blogs

One of the first blogs I read each morning (I work at home and after getting the children off to school, I need coffee while waiting for inspiration to hit ;) ) is The Frugal Girl
It's a well written, friendly, charming eco-friendly personal finance blog about how to be a better home economist, written by a very approachable personal finance blogger Kristen.

One of the things I adore is her step by step (with pictures! Yay Kristen) tutorials on how to make frugal foods from scratch. Everything is here, from how to make easy to hard (for me, anyway) bread, pizza, all the basics that a mother should know, but (again, me) somehow never learned.
The Frugal Girl has inspired me to try my hands at many recipes I used to buy (next up, cheese bread, ) and even if you only read her Wednesday baking posts, it's well worth adding this gem of a blog to your personal finance favorites.

Another great frugal baking blog is Tammy's Recipes. Another frugal stay at home mom, Tammy juggles four littles (one a newborn) while frugally running her household. Another step by step cooking blogger, every one of Tammy's recipes has turned out really well, and her cheesecake is to die for!

Eat At Home is another frugal cooking inspiration blogger, with printable menus, recipes, and grocery lists. Updated daily, Tiffany's recipes are really easy to tweak, and very kid friendly. And pictures galore.

Three big frugal mommy bloggers are Money Saving Mom , Life As Mom, and The Krazy Coupon Lady. With these three, you'll get all the weekly coupon deals, printable coupons round ups, interspersed with financial goals.

The Coupon Mom
is another popular frugal mommy blogger, and while I just picked up her book, I haven't followed this frugal mommy blogger enough to give an opinion.

Work calls. :)
