We've been doing our part to help bailout ailing companies. In particular, we've been buying gifts for ourselves from all the frou-frou mail order places we'd heard of but never actually bought from. I imagine these poor retailers had a desperate holiday season -- at least, if their 70-80% off promotions were any indication.
So far this recession, we've enjoyed recession popcorn from the Popcorn Factory, a recession gift basket with fancy pears and chocolate-covered cherries and such from Harry & David, recession sausage & cheese from Hickory Farms. Up this week, Fedora's favorite: recession Godiva chocolate. We also got recession pants at Target, but that's another story.
Our conclusion: at 70-80% off, these gift food places are tolerably priced. We don't know how they sell things at full price or even mild discounts.
We're still working our way through the bounty, so come on by if you want to sample some. :-)
