What To Buy In December

December 3, 2012 · 1 Comment

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have past, but there are still plenty of bargains you can pick up in the month of December.

Computers – Buy an older model before the new ones are released. Check out tech blogs and manufacturers web sites to stay on top of release dates

Seasonal Produce -  Stick to locally grown produce

Airline Tickets – Planning a spring get away, shop for rates early in the week booking flights that depart in the middle of the week or on a Saturday.  Sign up to receive e-mail alerts for fares in your price range (Kayak.com)

Champagne – Look for specials through the month of December and  before Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Chocolate & Candy – The days after a big holiday is a excellant time to get deals of chocolate and candy.  Check local supermarkets, mass retailers and pharmacies and compare prices.  Look for the  higher end  chocolate  to have the  better  deal . Your sweet tooth will thank you in the new year.

Pomegranate-Champagne Punch

December 29, 2011 · 1 Comment

Here is a great holiday punch from Martha Stewart. We love using Prosecco instead of the champagne – either way, hope you give it a try – Cheers!!

1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
1 cup pear nectar
1/4 cup orange-flavor liqueur
1 bottle (750ml) Champagne

In a large pitcher, combine the juice, nectar and liqueur. Slowly add Champagne. Serve over ice.

I remember the day when me and Merci each bought a punch bowl set (pretty sure the set was $9.99 ) from Woolworths’ about 30 years ago and we felt so grown up and sophisticated.  Now we talk about that day, everytime we have a get together and use it – happy days!
