If you're looking for some ways to save money, and who isn't, then you'll want to check out the 34th Festival of Frugality. It's hosted this time by Blueprint for Financial Prosperity.

At the Festival, you'll find yours truly's item on upcoming mega-yard sales, along with tips on tipping, budget-conscious ways to take good care of your pet and how to find cheap software.

There also is a mini-trend on couponing. Three bloggers -- Free the Drones, Tick Marks and Personal Finance Advice -- discuss the dangers and delights of these cents-off slips of paper.

This is just a small sampling. Do your bank account a favor and check them all out at the full Festival.
