In the US it is election day, and Briana puts together the voting edition of the Festival of Frugality.  I voted this morning, did you?  My kids and I waited almost 2 hours in line and my older one (he’s 4) helped me push the final “confirm vote” button.  Her election winners (editor’s picks) for this festival are:

• Polly Poorhouse presents Frugal Fu: The November “No Eating Out” Challenge posted at Economic Crunch. 
• J. Money presents Never let the marketers win - Send in those rebate forms! posted at Budgets are Sexy.. 
• Jim presents How Much Is That in Minimum Wage Hours? on Blueprint for Financial Prosperity posted at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity. 
• Silicon Valley Blogger presents Improve Your Shopping Habits: How To Recover From An Impulse Buy posted at The Digerati Life.
• Student Scrooge presents Oops — Almost Forgot About That Gift Card posted at Student Scrooge.

Thanks for putting together a great festival!  Next week the festival travels to Quest To Be Debt Free so make sure to enter early!
