Mapgirl Hosts 68th Festival of Frugality

Did you know that yesterday was the sixty-eighth Festival of Frugality? Mapgirl did a splendid job displaying the thirty-two entrants and adding a little editorial where she saw fit. Now, she also did something that I love to see in a host, putting your foot down for the rules. As administrator for the Festival, it’s simply not feasible for me to check all the emails and then verify them as unique but when a host goes above and beyond, I’m incredibly thankful.

Please note that there were two submissions that violated the Carnival of Personal Finance rule of being submitted to only one carnival. Because the CoPF appears on Monday, I have removed those two submissions from the Festival of Frugality. Also, one eager submitter put in two articles for the same week, so I held one back for next week in favor of another blogger who is unfamiliar to me, posting on the same same subject, though I won’t say who or what because this Festival is inclusive and I’m less of a meanie when hosting the Festival of Frugality than with the Carnival of Personal Finance. Just wait till next week to see the good stuff. I assure you, it’s good stuff.

Please follow the rules of the Carnival or the Festival you’re submitting to.

Thanks Mapgirl!

    No problem! I love rules, both enforcing them and breaking them judiciously! I really enjoyed hosting the Festival of Frugality and encouraging other people to host.
