Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 See what's new at AOL.com and Make AOL Your Homepage. Good Morning Frugalistas, I hope your morning finds you well. I've been battling a sick bug myself, but trying to stay warm, drink fluids and get as much sleep as possible to keep it as far as away as possible. I'm just not a big fan of sucking down any otc medicines if I can help it - trying to make my body stronger by making it fight it off as naturally as possible. Sadly, that also means running around with a roll of tp to blow my noise some days. This week's newsletter has the final submissions for the 'readers speak out' series, but only because I haven't received any more of them. Again, I want to thank you all for sitting down and sending me your thoughts and ideas so we all can read and be inspired, thank you! Not much else to say, so I will get along to the posts for the week. Enjoy! ~Dawn C. Readers speak out:: Limiting Financial Ups and Downs Repair. Reuse. Save!

It also appears that that prices rise as well. 20 Timeless Frugal Rules (part 1) – I take on CNN/Money’s article about timeless 20 Timeless Frugal Rules (part 2) – money tips, just with a frugal slant and a ‘Dawn’ perspective.
