Jan 27, Top 50 Frugality Blogs of 2011
I just found out my site is on the Frugal Dad list of the Top 50 Frugality Blogs of 2011. I guess I was so busy back in December that I totally missed the notice they sent me. I'm number 31 on the list but you'll want to bookmark this page and come back to it time and time again. There are many great sites there, all with sage advice for people in any walk of life who want to live smarter, easier, and better.Giveaway – Win a FREE RV Cover
Starting today, you can enter to win a FREE RV Cover for your motorhome, fifth wheel, or travel trailer. The kind folks at EmpireCovers.com have offered to sponsor this awesome giveaway.
