Thursday’s Best of The Carnivals

Published June 19th, 2008

I tried something new this week: I visited a couple of different carnivals than I normally do. What were the results? I found some really great posts relevant to the subjects I write about here at Value For Your Life! So my Thursday gift to you is my picks of the best posts I found this week and hope you find them useful.

Cheap Healthy Good made me a very happy girl with this post Summer Cooking: 60 Cheap Healthy Marinades!
Broke Grad Student made me smile, with his take on 6 Ways a Boyfriend/Girlfriend Can Save you Money, this post brought me back to my university days, and when I first started dating my husband!

Visit the Coqui gives some great suggestions (including names and phone numbers) of things to do if you have 48 Hours in San Juan. I was lucky enough to spend a short amount of time in this beautiful place, and visited the fort San Cristobel, then took a tour of the Bacardi factory–with sampling afterwards

The Carnival of Money Stories

Terry Dean’s post From a Sale to An Experience is a must read for anyone who owns a business or works with the public–I agree completely with what he’s saying.
Can I Get Rich On a Salary’s post Looking Back 10 Years and More Than $1,000,000 Ago is entertaining, and might just be the kind of inspiration you need to get your finances in order and move forward with your goals.
