Sites I Frequent

March 16th, 2007 at 07:54 am

Well, this is kind of anti-climactic after my 100,000 hits post, which by the way put me over 1000 comments, two biggies in one day.

Anywho, I finally figured out how to work the sites I frequent portion of my settings (never looked under links before), so I have put down some of the sites I visit a lot. Only some of them are to do with personal finance. A couple of them are quite old-fashioned, but if you can get past sentences like, "Suppose your husband can only give you $30 for the grocery budget this week...", they can be quite informative and entertaining.

My favorite in that vein is the Home Economics Archive Research and Traditions, or HEARTH, that operates out of the Cornell Library. It has a lot of really good information from out of print home economics books between the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century. And a lot of is very helpful to frugal men and women today, again if you can get past the less than liberated women ideas. Worth it though.

Menus4Moms is like that, too but had good ideas for scrimping on the grocery budget but still eating pretty well.

I also threw in some legitimate survey panels that I have actually received payment from and did not ever have to pay them anything at all. And my two favorite authors and a couple of my personal fun/fan things to make it look like I am more well-rounded than I am.

    Hi Robin,

    I want to thank you for mentioning on your blog under Sites I Frequent. The site has lots to offer in addition to the Meals for Hard Times article you link to. Many moms indicate that following our free weekly menus has saved them a bundle every week.

    I wanted to clarify why the article you quoted said "If your husband can only give you $30 this week for groceries". Contrary to being a less than liberated idea about women, the comment was written originally toward a specific audience that explains the perspective. The article was originally posted on a homeschooling group and was written for moms who stay at home to teach their children full time.

    Contrary to being a less than liberated idea, homeschooling has been embraced by people who range from pagans to evangelicals and from liberals to conservatives. The thing that these groups have in common, homeschooling, often means that the family has chosen to live on one income in order to let the other parent stay home and teach. This can be the mom or the dad, but in the particular group that DeeAnn was addressing, it was the moms who stayed home.

    Again, thanks for mentioning and for letting me clarify why the comment was phrased as it was. I hope my site continues to be a help to you. Have a great day.

    Owner,

    I think it is a wonderful site. I am a stay at home mom myself who homeschooled for a couple of years. I just thought the phrasing was very old-fashioned, not the site.
