Oct. 2, 2009 - Molly's Money-Saving Digest for October
Molly is back with a new Money-Saving Digest for the month of October! This month's theme: What can we learn from the Great Depression?
In this issue, we learn about the Great Depression in several articles, find out what's usually on sale this month, learn about couponing (there is a way to make it worthwhile!), get some Biblical encouragement and plenty of practical information. There's even a little parenting advice. There is also a weekly menu which is going to be featured in every digest from now on. This month's menu includes such delights as Chicken Fajitas and BBQ pork sandwiches, along with side dishes, desserts, and all the recipes needed to create these meals.
The articles on the Great Depression are extensive and interesting, based on research and the memories of those who lived through it. Although I don't believe we are anywhere near a Depression like that one, the lessons learned from that time can serve us well as we try to stay afloat in a struggling economy. Even in good times, frugality and contentment are valuable. The Digest ends with this "Word Worth Saving": But Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment, let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 5:6-7. A good word in any era, but always especially important to remember in times of financial struggle.
