Welcome to the January 28, 2009 edition of the Money Hacks Carnival.  I’m LittleMissKnowitAll, your host for today’s gathering.  My specialty is frugal living and the tools you need to live the frugal life.  Stick around, make yourself at home, check out a few posts.  If you’d like to learn more about how to save money and be more frugal, consider signing up for my newsletter!

And since we’re all about frugal living and using your money wisely, for my top 10 posts I’ve chosen posts that I think teach excellent skills and lessons on ways to save and multiply your resources!
