Let it Snow! Beverly Hills Transformed into a Winter Wonderland http://www.redtri.com/los-angeles/let-it-snow-beverly-hills-transformed-into-a-winter-wonderland
DECEMBER Annual Sales — CHEAPER AROUND CHRISTMAS Some things are actually cheaper during the season. It’s that old supply and demand thing. 7-1/2 watt Christmas tree lights can cost as little as 10 cents apiece. These are the same lights that go into nite lights (usually white or clear) that many people use to illuminate their hallways. Yet if you go to a store for a nightlight bulb you can pay as much as 70 cents apiece. So buy a bunch. The same is true for candles. If you like to burn a candle or two other times of the year, you will pay a small fortune. Yet at Christmas, candles are cheap. If you live in an area where the power seems to get knocked out during a hurricane or a winter storm, having a supply of candles is very comforting. BEWARE: When you exchange or get a refund for a Christmas gift make sure that you get what you’re owed: • #1. Get a refund or credit for the price that was really paid. Since so many items go on sale right after Christmas, clerks may only credit you for the current sale price, not the actual price that was paid. This is not proper. Insist on getting a full credit or refund. • #2. Make sure that any tax is also refunded. Stores have a way of “forgetting” to refund the tax. BEWARE: Jewelry stores often promote big sales around Christmas, but the savings are often not much more than the regular price. Don’t be fooled. TYPICAL ANNUAL SALES: The day ‘AFTER’ Christmas prices drop dramatically. Items like bathrobes and sweaters can be cut in half along with other Christmas items. TRAVEL: Early December is a great time to go to Florida when it is often a good bargain and less crowded. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: apples, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, collards, cranberries, endive, grapefruit, kale, mushrooms, oranges, parsley, rutabagas, winter squash, turnips. NOTE: With some produce now available all during the year, many people have forgotten when fruits and vegetables are really fresh. Buying in season means that these items are often cheaper, fresher, taste better and that money may be going to local farmers.
