If you’re looking for some interesting, budget-friendly reading, here’s two blog carnivals worth reading.

This week’s Festival of Frugality at The Tao of Making Money features some great articles. These are my favourites:

• How to buy fresh fruit and veg — tips from a botanist for picking the best fresh produce at the grocery store.
• How I Decorated My Sonís Room for Under $60
• How To Save Money On Shipping When Shopping Online
• Vacation on a Budget
• Cutting Grocery Costs (without clipping coupons)

There’s also some interesting reading in this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance at Endless Gibberish.
