SHOPPING LIST.

During these tough times, it's always comforting to know that there's something (to pull us out of the glums) for everyone.

With $900 currently being deposited into most bank accounts, here are some highly recommended items for purchase. Some are an equal $900, some are a little more, and some, are slightly less :)

So head for the nearest ATM, withdraw your "Government Gift" and indulge, because although the world's finances are somewhat drab, there's always room for something fab!
