The neat and tidy list of FG reader blogs!
A reader had asked if could make a list of all the blogs written by Frugal Girl readers, and after combing through all the comments, I think I have made a complete list.
Hopefully I didn't miss anyone!
I have not read every post on every blog on this list, so as you read...chew up the meat and spit out the bones. We are all adults here. 😉
I just took the descriptions of the blogs from author comments, so all of these are self-described. 🙂
Happy reading, friends!

Oh my goodness! I had no idea that so many of your readers had blogs themselves! How fun!
Wow, Kristen, this list represents a huge amount of work and is a wonderful resource. Many thanks for compiling this for us!!
Hope you’re all well and raring to jump into classes. The usefulness of your blog, in so many areas, cannot be overstated. You are soo outreach oriented, which says what a great nurse you will be!
Aww, thank you for those kind words! I am out of my quarantine now and all set to go to class tomorrow. Whew.
Thank you Kristen for taking the time putting together this extensive list.
There are some blogs I will "try".
It makes me happy to see that so many people are still writing and sharing online, despite blogs being pronounced "dead." The more independent voices online, the better.
And thank you, Kristen, for putting together such a user-friendly list. I know this sort of thing takes a lot of time, and I appreciate it. Now to read!
Thank you for compiling this! Much appreciated!
Now, to help me understand how to support the writers. I presume that if I open any of the ads on a page that the blogger will get a tiny fraction of a cent. Do you get anything if I close the ads by clicking the "X"? Or since that doesn't open the ad, does it not matter?
Most ads these days are actually payable just by having them viewed, so you don't have to click on any of them unless you are interested in the product or service being advertised. And it's no problem to close an ad once it has loaded. Go for it!
WOW! I know what I'll be doing over the next few days!
Thanks for this!
What a FABULOUS list! I can't wait to get started on reading my way through.
Thanks! You did miss a few below:

Thanks again for puttingthis together, and have a blessed day!
Or, if you only wanted to feature blogs actually written by readers, themselves, I completely understand! ☺♥
Yes, I believe that was what this reader had requested; wanting to get to know others in the community here.
But in the future, we can do another post where you guys recommend all the other blogs you like to read!
Oh, cookie crumbles! I got left out. I had emailed you but maybe it got caught in ye olde spam folder.
This is mine though: https://www.mariazanninihome.com/
Thanks for posting the others. I will definitely give them a look.
Oh no! You are right; it probably was the spam filter. I will update the list to add your blog. 🙂
@Kristen, you're the best. Thank you!
This is amazing! Thanks so much. I can't wait to dive into some of these other blogs.
Thanks so much for including me, Kristen!
@Caroline Starr Rose, I placed a book request with the library for one of your books! I can't wait to read it with my kids - knowing that it's written by a FG reader!
Trying this again. For some reason I couldn't comment earlier. Anyway .... thank you to all you bloggers out there who put so much effort into producing good content. And thank you, Kristen, for compiling this list! So many blogs .... so little time ....
Thank you! So much to explore!
Oops, guess I missed the boat on this one. If it's not too much trouble, could you add me? Thank you!

Tara! Hi!!!! So good to hear from you.
And of course I will add yours. 🙂
Kristen, thanks again to you and Tara for your efforts to highlight bloggers within The Frugal Girl community and deepen the bonds among us. Your efforts are very much appreciated! Lot's of great reading material in this list, for sure!
Thank you so much for putting this together! I have already found some great reading. All the best as you head back to nursing school!
Thank you so much for putting this together and including my blog! I hope some of you pop over to read 🙂
It's -27C today (-17ishF) today with wind and snow warmings so I know what I'm doing! I have never read any of these blogs so thank you for putting this list together.
Kristin, thank you so much for including my blog on your list of reader blogs. I look up to you so much that if you read some of the posts, you'll almost hear YOUR voice. My favorite way to punctuate an idea is to write "ha" - another Kristin-ism.
Thanks again, Paige from Paigespage.net
PS I added your link to my blog for some backlink "Google Juice."
Aww, I am honored that you have adopted some phrases from me. 😉
I plan on checking all of these out - thanks for putting the list together!
I don't comment often, but I read your blog regularly.
