Hello and welcome to the 304th edition of the Festival of Frugality! I am happy to be hosting this week and I hope you enjoy this edition’s entries as much as I did.
I hope you had a fun and safe Halloween. After years of not paying much attention to the holiday, Halloween quickly became a favorite again after having kids. My kids went as a witch and a bumblebee this year. Too much cuteness! I’m not biased at all. I was going to share a picture here but my computer and camera are having another fight, so I can’t. Instead, I’ll share them from last year as a kitty and a puppy

They look so, so cute! When my brother was the puppy’s age, he refused to dress up, but still wanted to go trick or treating. We eventually stuck a cowboy hat on him, but when people would ask him what he was for Halloween, he’d say, “I dunno. I’m just Joe.”
