I decided to change the name of this particular feature, because I wanted to do some more things with it. I felt as though I was limited to the old title (Odd Cents’ Favourite Posts). I’m also going to be looking at stuff that caught my eye, favourite posts and general happenings with this blog and my travel blog.
Favourite Posts of the Week
On Friday night I wanted to look for some new personal finance blogs. Since joining Yakezie, I’ve seen many personal finance blogs that I never knew existed. And what’s even more amazing is the fact that they are so different, each with a creative spin on personal finance.
My favourite posts for the week of 4 March 2012 are:
- 1. How To Budget For A New Car at The Jenny Pincher
- When Weaknesses Become Assets at Impulse Save
- Make Your Own Peanut Butter at A Beautiful Mess
- The Importance of All the Little Things You Don’t See at Cash Money Life
- A One Percenter’s 7 Best Financial Decisions at I am 1 Percent
- 3 Money Traps You Should Always Avoid at I’ve Paid For This Twice Already
- What Is Wave Accounting? at Finance Triggers
- Frugal-hacking My Way Through a Month Without Pay at Surviving and Thriving
- Financial Advice: The Preserve of the Rich, or Something For Everyone at Sterling Effort
Happy reading!

Upcoming Events
Over the next few days to weeks, Odd Cents will be going through some design tests and changes. I’m in the process of upgrading the site to improve your experience. If you find that you are having difficulties, please email me at oddcents AT gmail DOT com. I’m also finalising a new series which is a spin-off of something that I tried earlier.

I launched a rather low-key a giveaway at the end of February but I’m very happy and excited to announce the winner! The winner is S of Sustainable Personal Finance.
