Don't forget to use up all your soon to expire coupons. Now is a great time to find sales as the stores do their own end of year clean out. There are also lots of rebate offers expiring at the end of the month. I'm off this morning to get it all done!
Update:
Went to the store today, still sick, but I just can't let my coupons expire! Saved about $50 in coupons and did another $51 in rebates plus a free calendar. Nice!

Fresno Bee today
The Fresno Bee had a great article today about a guy who found his way out of debt through the bible. Imagine that!
Target holiday markdowns
Target holiday markdowns (except Christmas) follow a 3-3-2 schedule. It goes to 50% off the day after the holiday, then three days later 75%. Again, three days after that what's left is 90% off. Two days after that it goes to salvage (Goodwill). However, Christmas is a little different.
Christmas markdowns are based on manager discretion and inventory. Based on prior experience, 50% off from 12/26-12/31 is typical. January 1st markdowns usually go to 75% off, and then a few days after that 90% off.

Harvard University
Harvard University Announcement
Harvard University has announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution."
If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!
