		<title>Modest clothing sale alert!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still here! I&#8217;ve been working on a little project that has been taking time and energy, but I hope to be back soon with quite a few updates. For today, if you&#8217;re looking for modest, affordable clothing, head over to Shade Clothing right away. Quite by chance, I discovered today that they are liquidating [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unsausage Burgers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I participated in a financial workshop which had a fun twist: frugal, healthy recipes. I talked about how to make unsausage burgers. We all know how pricy it can be to eat out at fast food places all the time. With these burgers, however, you can make your own &#8220;fast food&#8221; at home. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top Ten Reasons to Make Your Own Convenience Food Mixes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. They taste good. Duh. Isn&#8217;t that one reason why we pick up mixes at the store? Whether it&#8217;s a cake mix, a box of mac and cheese, or a box of elaborate cous cous with olive oil and garlic, you&#8217;d have to agree that if it didn&#8217;t taste good to someone in your house, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to make vegetable broth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Trader Joe&#8217;s hearty vegetable broth. But with the nearest Trader Joe&#8217;s thousands of miles away, I figured it was high time to make my own vegetable broth. (Not to mention that I never, ever succeeded in using the entire aseptic container of broth at once and I had to freeze the remainder anyway!) [...]]]></description>

		<title>How I &#8220;got burned&#8221; buying flowers online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[{Flickr credit where credit is due: CCCvrcak} Last year&#8217;s Mother&#8217;s Day shopping was a disaster. (Now, I know my mom is probably reading this so I should be careful with what I say.) I ordered flowers from an online source that shall remain nameless to protect the guilty. Both my mother-in-law and mother live a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frugal Friday: nonstick cooking spray alternative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently bought a really cheap brand of nonstick cooking spray. It was $2-something at Smart and Final. That would have been a great find, except it didn&#8217;t work. It left gunky residue on my pans and it didn&#8217;t keep food from sticking. Ick! I kept thinking there has to be a greener way&#8230; a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sack lunches save MY economy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DH and I have been trying an experiment. He has usually been eating lunches at the hospital cafeteria and just putting them on his ID and the money gets taken out of his paycheck. Somehow in the last few weeks, I convinced him that in order to start making headway on paying off our debts, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to plan a frugal wedding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got married a little over a year-and-a-half ago. So the process is pretty fresh in my mind still. I am sure that there are other ways to be frugal with weddings, but here&#8217;s what worked for me.  I picked up a copy of How to Plan An Elegant Wedding for $5,000 or Less. Seriously. (I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breakfast savings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never knew how expensive cereal was until I started my own home. My husband loves cereal, and some of his particular favorites include Weetabix (which averages $4-something-a-box for the organic biscuits), Grape Nuts, and Raisin Bran. Yeah. They&#8217;re not what I call cheap. (And he goes through it quickly!) On the other hand, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year&#8217;s goals&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been contemplating what kinds of goals (er, resolutions &#8211; but I like calling them &#8220;goals&#8221; much better) to make this year and have come up with several. Journal at least once a week. (I used to be faithful at journaling, but I have been slacking ever since I moved to my current location.) [...]]]></description>
