Mr Bargain Queen’s budgeting tip post, A dollar spent is a dollar spent, is featured in this week’s Festival of Frugality over at Tired but happy. Congratulations Mr Bargain Queen!

My other favourite post in this week’s Festival is How Not to Be Frugal: Too Many Magazine Subscriptions from J.D. at Get Rich Slowly.

Magazines are one of my weaknesses and I’ve been thinking of signing up for one of those cheapie subscriptions myself. Even after paying to shipping to Australia, a yearly subscription to my favourite U.S. magazines would cost the same as four or five copies on the newsstand. It sounds like a great deal… but I currently buy two to three copies a year, so it would actually cost me more to do it! And really, I don’t need to look at more pretty pictures of things I can’t afford. So no magazine subscriptions for me!
