Roll up your sleeves, America. Tax rebates, reportedly $800 per person, are coming. Now it’s time for us to do our part: It’s time to go shopping.
We’re here to help with The Buzz’s Guide to Blowing Through Your Tax Rebate.
Vino: Wash down the $9.95 Sirloin Special at Sizzler with 2003 Griottes Chambertin from Dugat winery in France. “Bright ruby-red. More vibrant, minerally nose shows good peppery and stony lift,” says wine reviewer Stephen Tanzer. Available at www.premiercru.net. $795 for one 750 ml bottle.
Smokes: After dinner, stroll out to the parking lot and fire up an Arturo Fuente Hemingway “Untold Story” cigar. Make sure you’re at least 25 feet from the door. Available at www.cigars.com. $798.95 for a box of 25.
Screen: Turn your family room into the Harvard Exit with “Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus Films,” a 50-disc collection of films from the likes of Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini and François Truffaut. Available at http://www.ifc.com. Lists at $850, but currently on sale for $599, which means you can throw in a half-dozen Dane Cook videos.
Remember, your tax rebate will only help the terrorists if you use it to pay down your credit card or open a savings account. Get spending!
