Welcome 5280, Yahoo! and Slickdeals forum readers!

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This week, we’re seeing an influx of new readers to Cheap Like Me from three online addresses:

Denver magazine 5280′s terrific blog, “Cheap Thrills,” focuses on ways to live cheap in the Mile High City. The “Recession School” series features how-to posts on living frugally by choice or by need. Writer Jennie Dorris talked to me last week about this blog, and here she highlights three of my most popular posts.
A member of the Slickdeals.net forums wrote about her (successful!) experience using DIY deodorant. If you’re unfamiliar with Slickdeals, the site is a user-driven vehicle for sharing great deals online and off, with deals updated in real-time. If you’re looking for the make-your-own natural deodorant post, you’ll find it here.
Yahoo!Finance interviewed me for an article on living with fluctuating income. See that article here and my post about it here.

Welcome, new readers.
