This is a good question. What you are talking about is called the serial comma, or sometimes the Oxford comma. It is a comma before the last item (actually, before the "and") in a series of three or more things. Whether you should use the serial comma is matter of style. It is generally acceptable to use this comma or to omit it. Different publications follow different style sheets: one might require you to use this comma, and another to omit it. People can have strong opinions about whether to use the serial comma. Those who think it should be used believe the style to be more consistent and clearer, and can cite examples in legal documents in which the comma made a major difference in the terms of an inheritance. Those who think it should not be used believe that it serves no purpose and does not add anything except an extra character. Examples using the serial comma: He got up, made coffee, ate breakfast, took a shower, and got ready to go to work. She works at the store on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. The same examples, but without the serial comma: He got up, made coffee, ate breakfast, took a shower and got ready to go to work. She works at the store on Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.
