The August Edition of the "All About Parenting Blog Carnival"

Friday August 1, 2008

How are you dealing with the cost of groceries and gas this summer? Has it forced you to adjust some of your spending habits? Let us know by participating in this week's poll or leaving a comment below.

Unfortunately, for many single parents who are barely squeaking by on one income, with or without the addition of consistent child support payments, these issues are really hitting home. That's why I chose money-saving tips as the theme for this month's All About Parenting Blog Carnival.

Here are the tips bloggers from all around the Net submitted to help you cut back on expenses and save money:

General Money Saving Tips:
  • In the post "How I Built My Emergency Fund," Single Ma, of Single Ma's Fabulous Financials, shares the tips and tools that helped her reach her own personal money-saving goals.
  • Lois over at Goodies for Mom provides a list of simple and practical suggestions in her post "Money-Saving Tips."
Back-to-School Money Saving Tips: Parenting Money Saving Tips:

The next All About Parenting Blog Carnival will be hosted by Christy's Family Computing Blog, on the topic "back-to-school." The deadline for submissions is August 25, 2008.
