SMART E-SHOPPING
Shopping can be therapeutic and a great tension release. But shopping during this time of the year tends to be filled with long lines, pushy shoppers and lots of walking. A great solution for this is planning your purchases (as best you can) and shopping online. Online shopping, from the comfort of your home or anywhere else, is one of the most relaxing and hassle-free experiences. We have a few tips and tricks we want to share with you when shopping online this Black Friday and for the rest of the holiday season.
Plus you can shop in your PJ’s, and that’s always a good idea. Tip #1 Plan Ahead Make a physical list of the things you need or want to purchase. Prioritize the list by placing the more important items first. When writing your list think about purchases that will impact you long term vs short term, this will help you when prioritizing. Also, research the costs of the items. Some short-term buys might be inexpensive but not priority. You might be able to squeeze them in when you start shopping based on your budget. Your budget is another factor in planning. Think about how much you want to spend and how much you can spend. Tip#2 Look For the Deals Once you’ve laid out your plan and you have a good idea of what you
want to purchase and spend, the next thing to do is to look for deals for these products. The first thing to note, shopping online is always a great deal as you don’t need to expend any resource but time and energy. Plus you can shop in your PJ’s, and that’s always a good idea. When it comes on to products deals, the first place to look would be the websites where you’re already a customer. E-Commerce websites usually have a pretty active email strategy and would have sent you their discounts and upcoming discounts. So check your email, then their social pages and then their website. After this, there is the almighty Google. Search for the products you need and start comparing the company, prices displayed and product specs. It’s so important to check the product specs in relation to the deal.
Tip #3 Look for Payment Options E-Commerce websites have diversified their payment options and there are now Many Ways To Pay online. Some of these include options like PayPal, eWallets and Bitcoin to name a few. The most common ways to pay are credit cards and visa debit cards. Depending on your needs, researching the payment options offered by these websites is an important step.
Most e-commerce websites have a section that explains these payment options. Explore this section to familiarize yourself and to inform your purchasing decision. Tip #4 Security There are a few things you can do to ensure you’re shopping online safely: 1. Ensure the e-commerce website, especially the checkout page is HTTPS encrypted. 2. Ensure your passwords are strong 3. Use a good anti-malware program on your PC. Tip #5 Buy More, Less Often This strategy helps with minimizing shipping costs. By buying more items at one time, you increase your likelihood of getting free shipping which is a big saver. It also helps if you can identify a website that offers a wider variety of items. Shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday provide the perfect opportunity to utilize this strategy and get more value.

Roast for 30 minutes or until the breast is firm and just beginning to brown in spots. Using tongs, turn the chicken breast-down, baste with juices and roast for 20 minutes longer, until the skin is lightly browned. Using tongs, turn the chicken breast-side-up and baste again. Add ½ cup of water if wine has evaporated. Roast for about 20 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the inner thigh registers 155° to 160° and juices are running clear. Transfer the bird to a cutting board and tent with foil. Remove aromatics and vegetables from the cavity, carve the chicken and serve
