Finance Tips: Giveaway Winner, When to Buy Appliances and More
We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season – it’s hard to believe Christmas is just 10 days away!
As we finish up our holiday shopping, I’m planning to watch the Lightning Deals closely this week. I see the one of the deals today is on a Breville Juicer… but I’m really hoping to score a great deal on a Ninja Blender before the holidays!
