Green Blog Tour: Greening credit card debt, bread for pennies, craft swap

Greening credit card debt. Given the current economic crisis this country is going through, if you did not worry about money before, you might be starting to feel a little uneasy about your financial future. Most of us will be buying less. Driving less. Finding ways to stretch a dollar. In The Simpler Life, Arduous writes how thinking about money led to worries about money. She read oodles of great advice on blogs about money and debt. Following the spend less financial diets oddly did not seem to work in reducing debt. But then something happened. Arduous explains how No Impact Man, the Colbert Report and a shift in focus led to a greener life and money in the bank.

Bread for pennies. The benefit of cooking from scratch? Homemade meals and baked goods reduce the need for excessive packaging of food and you are able to control the ingredients in food. For those who feel culinary challenged, the whole idea of cooking from scratch can be an intimidating suggestion. Your fears will be assuaged with Incredible Professional Bread by Cheap Like Me. The cost and benefits are weighed, and the homemade artisan bread tips the scale in favor of the effort -- and the effort is minimal. Cost of bakery bread? About $3 dollars. Cost of homemade artisan bread? 41 cents. Cheap Like Me provides the bread recipe link.

Craft Swap. Finding new uses for old things is fun. Making new things out of old things and then sending them to someone in your virtual craft swap circle sounds fun and a charming way to connect with other creative crafters. Meridian Ariel has issued a Recycle - Reuse - Re-craft challenge at Mumsnet Crafters and on her Meridian Ariel blog. Anyone can participate.
