Personal Finance around the web:

• 10 Ways to Invest $1000, without Putting A Dime Into the Stock Market at Frugal Dad. I wish PA would allow residents to participate in Lending Club.

• Are you getting inundated with holiday store coupons right now? Every day lately, we must receive 2-3 different coupons in the mail. This is how I keep those coupons organized for the holiday shopping season, from the FBS archives.

How will you be spending Thanksgiving? Are you cooking for 25 people or will you be a guest in someone else's home? Are you planning on braving the crowds on Friday? Let us know in the comments.

I am waking up early Thursday morning to run in the Turkey Trot 5k. I only do it so I can eat 3 pieces of pie (pumpkin, apple and chocolate pecan) later in the day and not feel an ounce of guilt. I'm not sure yet about Friday morning. My husband always like to go out, but I'm not about to drag two little ones out so early. I will definitely hit CVS though. My posts will be light this week. I am taking some time off.

Have a wonderful, safe and festive Thanksgiving!
