Most savvy shoppers know that the time when demand is low and supply is high is the ideal moment for buyers to make purchases.  Now that the Super Bowl is over and spring is in the air, the general public is shopping for patio furniture, Easter dresses and other seasonal items.  Thus, now is the perfect time to  shop for large electronics, like HDTVs and home theater systems.  You may even find a fantastic deal on floor models or a return.  Great deals can also be found on items that are used in conjunction with these large electronics, such as LCD TV stands.

Shopping in this category now while demand is somewhat lower, could really help stretch your tax rebate dollar.  You know how I like to stretch a dollar

I’m hoping to redo my office sometime this year, and will be going relatively modern when I do so.  This Office Star screen back office chair, had the sleek look I desired, as well as an ergonomic design, comfy seat and arms that I wanted.  Office chairs are generally something I prefer to try out before buying, but I gave it a shot.

The very evening I ordered, I received an email stating that they had upgraded my free shipping and and already sent out the chair.  It arrived right on the day quoted in the email.  The chair didn’t take long to put together, and everything for assembly was in the box including an assembly tool.  I was rather impressed by the excellent quality of the components.  This is far better than any office chair I’ve had before, and I expect it to last a long time.

All in all I was very pleased with both the product and customer service I received from CSN Stores.

Disclosure: Product supplied by CSN Stores.

On December 26th, the rumbles of those who did not get what they wanted for Christmas start.  I say if you didn’t get what you wanted, go buy it for yourself, at CSN stores.  They have a huge selection of great gifts to give yourself.  With over 200 stores, with everything from kitchenwares, bed linens, leather messenger bags, exercise equipment, office furniture and much more, you are sure to find something to ease your post holiday blues.

I need to redo my office soon, so I have my eye on a nice office chair, myself.  They have a great selection of those too.

By now I am sure most of you have already heard, Hugh Hefner  is marrying is youngster girlfriend Crystal Harris.  Appartently she cried when he gave her the ring… I’d cry to if I knew I was selling myself out to be grandpa golem’s “child” bride.  OK, she isn’t a child, but geezer Hugh is 84, and she is 24, making him 3 1/2 times her age.

His first divorce was back in 1959.  Crystal Harris’ parents were probably not even born yet.  They must be so proud.

Hugh eagerly divulges his frequent usuage of Viagra.  I am wondering what she takes?

They both look quite pleased with their naughty selves don’t they.  tsk tsk

1. Sign-up to get deals emailed to you from your favorite retailers.  Sometimes having a heads up early is the only way to scoop of the very best deals, before they are sold out.
2. Always search for online coupon codes before buying anything on the web.  Seeing that you could have gotten 20% off once your purchase is complete won’t do you much good.
3. Also check for printable coupons or newspaper insert coupons before going on any significant shopping trip.  During the holidays, stores often have percentage off coupons available.  If you forget inquire with the cashier if there are any active coupons going on right now.  Sometimes they have one in the drawer they can use for customers.
4. See if the manufacturer has any rebates out.  Often stores will advertise that there is a rebate available, but sometimes they miss them.
5. Some stores have their own rebates available, which can be combined with manufacturer rebates.  When making purchases on large electronics and such, it is a good idea to get an extra copy of your receipt.
6. The sales have started early this year.  Waiting for the crowds on Black Friday may not be necessary this year.  Grab a deal on the items you want now.
7. Sometimes it pays to be  a night owl.  There are many stores that have been doing overnight sales online.  No need to drag sleepy kids out to the store to grab a great bargain.  Order online and have it shipped to your home, or a local branch of the store.
8. Check reviews before buying major purchases.  Many items, such as electronics have re-stocking fees.  Don’t waste money by having to return items that do not meet your expectations.  Check out several reviews, before making any big purchases. 
9. Check the return policies at stores before buying your gifts there.  While most retailers are very accommodating about returns, especially after the holidays, some are not return friendly at all.  A few retailers will not accept any return with receipt, even if the item is exclusively sold by that store.
10. Double check on what kids want for Christmas before shopping.  They are notorious for telling five people they want XYZ toy, or changing their minds entirely.

These are just a few commonsense tips to help with your shopping this year.  Do you have any you would like to share?

Chocolate is a wonderful traditional Christmas gift. Every year chocolate makers bring out a selection of novelty characters to tempt us over the Christmas period. As a Christmas gift chocolate is incredibly versatile, with so many types and varieties to suit anyone’s taste. If you really want to spoil someone this year, a gift of luxury chocolate is an excellent idea.  

  
Hotel Chocolat is a luxury British cocoa grower and chocolatier who make the finest quality chocolate from the most authentic high-quality ingredients. Hotel Chocolat is the only British company to have its own cocoa-growing estate – Rabot Estate on the island of St Lucia, Caribbean. Here they produce fine cocoa from specially selected rare trees that is used to make their exquisite chocolate so special.

In Hotel Chocolat’s new Christmas range, chocolate Santa’s make a strong appearance in a choice of varieties and sizes. ‘Tiddly Caramel Chocolate Santas’ is a selection of eight miniature figures cast in solid milk caramel chocolate – perfectly sized for little appetites or as an after dinner treat for kids and adults alike. The ‘Milk Chocolate Jolly Santa’ is a merry little red-checked chap cast in mellow 40% milk chocolate to spread Christmas cheer.

More snappily-dressed is the ‘Milk Chocolate Best Dressed Santa’ a solid 40% milk chocolate Santa Claus, sporting a fetching berry flavoured chocolate scarf. Alternatively, choose the ‘Cool Yule Giant Slab’, a 500g bar of silky smooth milk chocolate and mellow caramel with a whirl of creamy white chocolate, adorned with a milk chocolate Santa figure.

All these delicious chocolate gifts use only the finest cocoa selected by Hotel Chocolat. Grown in countries including Ecuador, Venezuela, and Ghana the company works closely with farmers through it’s ‘Engaged Ethics’ programme to assure a fair price and stimulate sustainable development in farming communities. So if you’re tucking into delicious Hotel Chocolat chocolate over the Christmas period, you can feel satisfied not just by the taste – the product is sourced ethically by a company that works to benefit its suppliers.

See Hotel Chocolat online to view the entire range from Christmas crackers to luxury hampers, and read fascinating information on how fine cocoa is grown, interesting chocolate facts, and indulgent gourmet recipes. It might give you some ideas of what to ask your own Santa for this year!
