I would normally put the Carnival of Personal Finance over the Festival of Frugality on my fave carnival picks but due to the an excellent presentation by Ask Mr Credit Card on the Festival of Frugality, I will start off this post with the festival’s articles. It takes a lot of time to think for a theme and then organize all the articles around that theme. Scriptwriting of a father and son financial lessons is a very unique idea and it flows very well with the frugality concept.
