Cost Cutting Tips For Businesses - Roundup

Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. So when I set out to write a post on some cost cutting tips I've picked up over the years, it dawned on me that I should probably sweep the web to see if I was actually saying something unique. As it turns out, I wouldn't have had much to say that wasn't already out there. So, with that in mind I dutifully scoured the web and made bookmarks as I went and pulled together the following list of resources that I found to be pretty valuable as far as cost cutting, and thought they would be worth sharing. This will also save me the time of writing a 1200 word post, so this is a win-win-win in my own humble opinion.
