Well it’s about time I paid back all the wonderful bloggers out there that mention me weekly in their blog roll. I do read many blog posts each week  some of which I’d like to mention.

I’m just getting into the swing of this so it will take some time but I hope to have this post up every Friday. I’d like to pick posts  from Sun-Friday blog posts to give me some time get to read as much as I can.

I tend to read posts that peak my interest and potentially those of my fans here at CBB. It’s important for me to see my fans grow their knowledge about Budgets,Investments, Savings,  the Frugal Lifestyle and of course delicious frugal recipes!

If there is a post you want me to check out don’t be afraid to email me at canadianbudgetbinder@yahoo.ca  and introduce yourself… I’m a nice bloke I promise!

So please take a moment to read some of these great posts and as always if you leave a comment please make sure you let them know Mr.CBB sent you! Share the love!
