Attention Christmas shoppers:
'tis the season to buy that special
gift, but does your wallet know
this? Christmas shopping can be
less expensive with a little price
comparing and/or creative
thinking.
The "Name Brand Gift Giver"
shopping for clothes will get a better
price at Columbia's JB White's
a 1
Uldll <11 m<lLy 5. t\ UdMU Killl sweater
found in a variety of colors at
JB White's is priced at $20. A similar
sweater at Macy's is priced
at $45.
Here are some other price differences:
Isotoner gloves: Macy's ?
$26, JB White's ? $20
Isotoner slippers: Macy's ?
$29, JB White's ? $20
Ear Muffs: Macy's ? $12,
JB White's ? $3
Stretch Gloves: Macy's ?
$8, JB White's ? $2
Scarves: Macy's ? $16, JB
White's ? $16.
By comparing prices even the
"Name Brand Gift Giver" can save
money by going to the right store.
The "Budget Shopper" will have
difficulty finding a good deal on
perfume at JB White's and
Macy's. The prices are standard
for all the same brands, ranging
from $47 for Giorgio perfume to
$25 for Ralph Lauren perfume.
Even at K-mart Giorgio perfume is
$46.
K-mart offers one solution to
these high priced perfumes: the
"Imposter" fragrances. Primo
smells like Giorgio but costs only
$3. Deborah's Secret Potion smells
like Elizabeth Taylor's Passion but
costs $8, and Lindsay smells like

The budget shopper could save
big bucks with a little time and patience.
The Old American Store
off of Garners Ferry Road offers
arts and crafts. Practical gifts can
be assembled easily and quickly at
low prices. Unpainted wood boxes
covered with cloth or paint could
make a great plant holder or letter
holder. Jewelry kits, shirt design
kits and stuffed animal design kits
are a few options. Inexpensive
flower arrangements can also be
purchased.
The budget shopper can also get
help from die store in color coordinating
a flower arrangement to
match a room. The store will arrange
the flowers for free.
The creative shopper can find
the perfect gift with just a few dollars
and a large imagination. USC
