I've always been told I would make a good professor and have been recently thinking about re-entering academia with that in mind. Thanks for posting this. I'm going to give it some serious thought.
However I do have others. My mom and both my maternal and paternal grandmothers were able to cook quite well on a budget. They brought in bulk alot. They shopped at discounted grocery stores like Audi's. I hardly remember having brand named cereal, my mom always brought the sore brand, or that knockoff brand that came in the bag. We also ate beans alot. Most of my clothes came from the clearance rack or discount stores.
I personally can't stand that these companies are doing this. To anyone actually defending these companies, I thought I'd bring a little something to your attention:
It's not just about helping those in need. Though I think it's ridiculous to not give someone a chance at a better life if you have the ability. Clothing that get's thrown away is a WASTE of resources and DAMAGES the environment. Imagine how many clothes are sitting in landfills right now. There's no reason to waste valuable resources; if people keep wasting then one day we may have NONE.

So let's say for instance I didn't have access to any store bought yeast, I read somewhere that certain fruits have yeast on them and you could use the fruit as your yeast substitute. I tried this with apple juice and then some kiwi crushed in (skin and all) because I didn't know exactly where the yeast came from off of the fruit, and after about two weeks i had alcohol but not very strong, now that i've recently found grapes (which was said to be the best wild yeast) I'd like to make sure my final product is stronger than the last, how would I insure this?

I was looking around for healthy applesauce cookies to make and am glad I found this page. Other than raisins what other dry fruits do you think would go well with this recipe
YouTube EDU is another great and free resource. There are many reputable colleges and universities, including Ivy League ones, with videos of lectures and seminars covering various topics. I've been very fond of UC Berkeley's online lectures before they were even on YouTube. Calculus anyone?
that's what my credit union tried to tell me too, which is a bunch of bull....because then it's like you never even had the money in your account to begin with since it didn't cover one single transaction
I recently had $112 in my bank account and after checking my account i had $27 overdraft fees for every purchase i had made that day. I called the bank because the first three that were processed through my account should've went through. The lady then told me that it was withdrawn from my account in the order they were authorized not processed and therefore the money wasn't in my account because it was being held for the ones authorized first. However, the ones authorized first got charged fees as well. After calling the bank back and talking to the bookkeeping department I was told that I had $112 in my account however I had charges totaling $170 and therefore that's why I got charged on every transaction. The only way I had that much charged was with all 6 of my transactions added together. So apparently they like to go by everything done in that day.
So in that case I hope I don't charge several small items in a day and then have an emergency come up for $100 dollars later that day that then overdraws my account and charges for every previous transaction
Those blogs look a little "sell side" to me. I'd add Barry Ritholtz' The Big Picture to start, and Calculated Risk as a follow-on. Zero Hedge if you dare. Bogleheads if you don't.
-Minimize costs, though appreciate good customer service.
-Don't take people words at face value, doubt everything.
-Don't get attached to a position for the wrong reasons. There is a difference between holding on hoping to get money back, and holding on because a stock is great to keep.
Invest by your own choices! Investing is one of those things, like growing up, where you are the one who should make the mistakes. Making mistakes is not always a bad thing, with it comes experience.
None of your oppinions really matter, whats going to happen will, and thats just that, and don't be quick to think thats a stupid comment,"Maybe we should just have the "Worldo." OK I admit that was a stupid comment, lol."(comment17),the "worldo" or a single currency that runs through out the world is the NEXT step.

You said wat I wanted to say much better than I could. Some of the post against the increase were ridiculous, especially the one comparing making $15,000 in 1979 to $15,000 today.
I had the same problem with going paperless. The important emails ended in my spam folder and junk was plentiful in my inbox. That's a great idea having just a separate email for online billing only. Thanks~!
To be terribly blunt, they do not just "get a tax write off is they destroy it." Back in the Clinton administration, tax laws were changed. It became more advantageous to destroy immediately unsold inventory, than to keep/donate it. If the donate it, they get the value of what they paid (wholesale value). If it is destroyed, they get *retail* value to write off. That means from 20-80% more in write off value, for companies.
Don't like that companies have to pay attention to that stupidity in the laws? Vote out the morons, AKA incumbents (with apologies to the real mentally retarded), in Congress of both parties. Then, contact the companies and say. "If you donate unsold merchandise to charities that can use it, I will be sure to shop with you." They pay attention to the bottom line. If they don't, the Feds hit them for "Failing to exercise fiduciary responsibility." That means every executive charged loses everything, and goes to jail. So, they don't have any choice, about what to do.
If you want it to change, then change the spenders in Congress, and give them (companies) a positive reason to do it differently. Otherwise, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Is the tax break for unsold merchandise any higher than the tax break for charitable donations? The media coverage of stories like these is welcome. public pressure and shopper pressure can help change this wasteful practice.

Just a little food for thought.

Great list--I would also say that the best resource of the list is probably investigating local universitites and colleges.
I was amazed at the number of free courses that were offered--and most were very relevant ones.
Great post

Also I tried out some recipes on this site http://www.applesaucerecipe.org/ and they turned out really well.

Thank you so much for all the great sites! The savings are incredible.

Are you sure you want to use a picture of day traders to illustrate a story about "investing"?

Great list, well done. I'm compiling a directory of coupon sites and I found a few new ones on here.
