Star Money Articles and Carnivals for the Week of Dec 17

As a reminder, I am currently running the $25k Red Kettle Challenge.

Here are some pieces I found especially worthwhile and some of the carnivals Free Money Finance was in this week:

• EDITOR'S CHOICE! Carnival of Personal Finance


• Wise Bread has uses for stale cereal.


• The Simple Dollar advises to use the peak-end rule.


• Lazy Man and Money discusses a hotel credit card scam.


• My Dollar Plan lists holiday gifts that give back.


• Nerdy Finance Carnival last week and this week.


• Festival of Frugality

Enjoy!

P.S. Carnival Hosts -- If my post is in your carnival in a given week, please send me the URL to the carnival and I will include it in my weekly roundup.
