Hi, and welcome to Festival of Frugality #93! I'm so glad you're here. Money and Values is a blog focusing on the connections between personal finance and our values, ethics, and priorities-- I write about things like being a conscious consumer, socially responsible investing, frugal living, being environmentally friendly, and more. If that sounds interesting to you, check out some of the best Money and Values posts.
Also, I want to direct your attention to the Carnival of Ethics, Values, and Personal Finance, which is posted every other Thursday. The September 20 edition is up here and you can check out other editions from the carnival web site.
Now, without further ado, let's get to the Festival of Frugality! I've divided it up into sections, so I hope you'll be able to hone in on what most interests you. I've marked my favorites with *. And because I am fascinated by the masterpieces that talented cake artists can put together, this edition of the Festival is illustrated with pictures of amazing cakes that it's hard to believe are real...
