This Week Thursday: A change

In an effort to diversify my weekly postings, I am changing Thursdays from Thrifty Thursdays to This Week Thursdays. I figure between Money Monday and Save-It Saturday, there are tons of thrifty ideas being posted. On Thursdays, I will post links to various things I have found on the web, mainly what others are blogging about, contests, and freebies.



What Others Are Talking About
-Meal plans made exclusively from items bought at Aldi's

-The Happy Housewife (no relation to the Happy Wife) blogs about differentiating between needs and wants

-There is a tribute to Erma Bombeck over at A Homemaking Journey.

-Bill Schmick, of A Few Dollars More, blogs about the safety of bank deposits
