Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Add this dynamic duo to your holiday tablescape. This nutcracker pair has a
sweet style that will make your dinner guests smile.
Your friends and family aren't the only ones who will enjoy the checkout aisle
item. For under $5, you'll appreciate the price. In comparison, a similar set of
Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Nutcracker Salt and Pepper Shakers sells for $4 more
($8.99) online.
According to the Grinch, Christmas "doesn't come from a store." But in this
case, it might. We found a magical mug and stirrer set featuring the classic
character for a bargain price. The under-$10 find is the perfect stocking
stuffer or Secret Santa gift.

Are you planning a winter getaway? Pass on plain accessories and snap up this

Don't worry about overspending. This pretty pastel pair only looks expensive. At
$9.99, the checkout aisle deal is a steal.

is in the air, you can turn up the heat, open this zesty citrus diffuser, and
imagine that you're in an orange grove on a warm day.
Deck the halls with this affordable holiday accent. The glistening green candle
adds a festive touch to your mantle, entryway, or Christmas breakfast buffet.
Score major savings on this interior accent. Compare HomeGoods' low $7.99 price
