Free Holiday Shopping Tips

                                                 
                                            Tips for Holiday Shopping

Try to pay cash anytime you can. It's too easy to use credit cards which cause many people to over spend.

 Set a budget and don't exceed it. That way the last ones you buy gifts for don't get cheated.

If you are paying with credit cards take a minute to determine the cards with the least expensive interest rates.

Get the easiest gifts purchased first. The less to think about the better.

Make lists of everything and be organized.. Write down the names of the difficult people you must shop for and get creative. Look online if you are stuck. You will get many ideas that way.

Buy online. Its safe, fast, and easy. Don't be afraid if you have not shopped online before. Just do it.

Don't get frustrated by gift buying. It's supposed to be fun. Make it enjoyable. Take your time, stop for a treat, or go with a friend.

Don't make your life miserable by putting off all your shopping until the last minute. That sucks.

Bill and Wendy on WGN radio works

I  recently got hooked on a morning radio talk show which airs on WGN-AM radio in Chicago from 9 am to noon Monday through Friday. The hosts are Bill Leff and Wendy Snyder. It's called "Bill and Wendy"

I got curious about Snyder because she is so sarcastic yet comfortable with Bill Leff. Snyder started her career in Northbrook, Il in 1985 on a Christian radio station. She the scoured a publication called "Radio and Records" and landed a position in Peoria, Il.

After that stint she came back to Chicago and got a position at WLUP-FM that started at 4 AM on Sundays.

She was successful and in 1992 she was teamed up with Kevin Matthews. Then, in 1993 Wendy was paired up with Garry Meyer when he and Steve Dahl split up.

In 1994 she started to host shows with several funny men one of whom was Bill Leff. They became popular and developed a following.They were together until 1999. After a 14 year separation  Bill and Wendy were reunited on WGN-AM in 2013.  I got hooked by Wendy's deferential and sarcastic treatment of Leff.

It's a good radio program strictly which is strictly light hearted but entertaining and sometimes contentious between the hosts.

Bill is the baby and Wendy is the mother.
They seem so different but "Bill and Wendy"  works.

Brazzaz Brazilian Steakhouse on Dearborn St in Chicago Great Place

I recently ate dinner with a friend at Brazzaz  Brazilian Steakhouse. I had purchased a Groupon for $25.00 providing $50.00 of food. Unfortunately, I printed out the receipt instead of the actual coupon. When it came time to pay the bill the people at Brazzaz could not accept the receipt. They said I needed the actual coupon.
So, I was stuck. Two people on the staff, Carlos and Samra were amazingly sympathetic. They tried to print the coupon and tried to figure out whatever else anyone could think of . No luck.

Finally, my friend made a plea to these two concerned people to give us a break and just give us a reduction on the bill. They did!! Just because they cared. So, hats off to you Brazzaz at 539 N. Dearborn St. in Chicago, Il. # 312-595-9000 email info@brazzaz.com

You have wonderful employees especially the two who went above and beyond the call of duty to relieve our stress. We will be back for more of your wonderful food that I could not get enough of.  I must have gained 3 lbs at one sitting. It was a great time..
