Festival of Frugality #123 hits Sound Money Matters this week!  Scroll down past the book review to get to those meaty articles.  :)  There were 6 editor’s picks this week:

• Money Blue Book manages to find the upside to higher gas prices - less traffic and more use of public transportation.
• Mrs. Nespy’s World runs down the job benefits that can be a deciding factor for prospective employees. It pays to treat employees well.
• Cheap Healthy Good explains why diet foods are actually not good for your weight or health and suggests ways to eat more healthfully instead.
• Frugal Homemaker Plus discusses the importance of teaching children about frugal values early.
• Just Shoot Me Now shows you how to outwit the stores by always checking the unit price. Bigger isn’t always cheaper.
• Credit Addict explains how to combine the stimulus checks, grocery gift cards, and rebate credit cards to save loads on groceries.

Next week the festival travels to Frugal For Life, the queen of the festival, so get your entries in!
