The blogosphere has been abuzz this week with the big Facebook IPO and the quick to follow snafu of a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg himself for allegedly hiding important information from potential investors. We here at Live Well Simply have watched from the sidelines, as well as discovering some other great simple living and personal finance articles that find their way into our feed reader.
- Get Rich Slowly posted an article with a unique frugal eating idea. Cooking like a Peasant will help you keep more green in your pocket, though some of the recipe ideas sounded a little unusual.
- One Cent at a Time wrote a great piece on how to shop at garage sales. When I first moved to Lancaster, the competitiveness of some of the local garage sale ‘pros’ was amusing to me. Getting up at 5am to hit all the ‘early bird deals’ on a Saturday no less doesn’t seem like much fun. However, I’ve snagged a few excellent deals at garage sales in the past. Maybe I’ll have to pick up the habit again.
- A guest post on Christian Personal Finance outlines the cheapest places to live in the US. It is interesting to note that most of these sposts are located far from either coastline.
