There is so much going on this week! Lending Club [1] is open again (which is great since I have $300 in my Lending Club account after winning the PF Challenge [2]) and Prosper [3] is entering a quiet period to add a secondary lending market.
In addition, Grocery Game [4] notified me that chicken was at a rock-bottom price this week… 88 cents per pound! So I bought a couple and I am making the frugal chicken soup recipe [5] from feelgood eats [6].
My favorite article this week is Back To Basics: 79+ Brilliant Budgeting Resources You’ll Love [7] at My Super-Charged Life. It’s a budgeting bible!
