Odd$ and End$

I participated in some recent carnivals:


Make It from Scratch Carnival over at Gotta a Little Space to Fill.
Carnival of Pecuniary Delights #22 over at The Canadian Finance Blog.
Carnival of Pecuniary Delights #20 over at Counting my Pennies.
The Gardening Carnival over at My Gardening Patch.


My favorite links this week from around the web:

1. I made this roasted tomato and vegetable sauce from An Oregon Cottage this week. It was so easy and delicious. The beautiful garden veggies in this pan are from my CSA.
   

2. Do you brew your coffee at home? I found this coffee tip at Living On Less.

3. 9 Ways to Save Money Before 9AM at Frugillionaire. Unfortunately I can have these done by 7am.

4. Simpler Living interviewed Katy Walk-Stanley of The Non-Consumer Advocate, a blog that I follow. Katy lists her top 5 favorite posts. My favorite is #3, "When Free is too Expensive". I get sucked in to these FREE deals at places like Rite-Aid and CVS and I am left with too many deodorants and too little closet space. I am still trying to find a happy medium and a clutter-free home.
