Bargain stores can be a good bargain all so short shopping trips throughout the year will help. Some shoppers love the sort and hunt method of shopping, the scavenger method, said Bishop. Others dont have that kind of time. We get new stuff in every , couple of weeks, said Brown. Its good to shop our store often and get to know our store. If you find an item you want, its good to buy it quick - some things are closeouts and one-shitems. When buying some products, its important to shop around, so you feel confident in what youre r. buying and your price, said d, ot Be-aze- Finally, time your shopping for maximum success. Your highest volume shopping days are Friday, Saturday and Monday, said Bishop. Try to do your shopping from 9 a.m. to Noon on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, these are the quieter hours and you dont have to wait in such long lines.

VOLK Standard-Examine- r correspondent FARMINGTON - Set an extra in Farmington is preserved historical homes in the area. Its rock face and wooden framed windows are reminders of another era of time - where charm, hard work and delightful lives were the order of the day.. For the Neumann homestead and home-base- d business it is still the essence of what can be found on the premises. With the purchase of the home 43 years ago, Gunter and Moselle Neumann knew they were stepping into a home that was already nearing the century mark. It was originally built in 1857 by William Kelsey Rice, Gunter explains. Building a bakery thick With only two rooms and adobe walls, the home eventually grew to a slightly larger size by the time the Neumanns purchased it. But it wasnt until 20 years ago that it was decided to enlarge it considerably, and in the process, the de- tached garage would be fashioned into the family business site, Neumanns Bakery. It was a business that Gunter was well prepared to take on. Bom in Berlin more than 75 years ago, the Neumanns immigrated to America because of their membership in the LDS Church in the 1920s. A baker by trade, the senior Neumann eventually opened the Bread Basket in 1947; n Farthat in time came to be a mington business. When Gunter was called to serve an LDS mission in Switzerland in the 1950s, he was given the rare opportunity to stay an extra year. Once he was released from his ecclesiastical duties, he was employed in an appn rentice-like situation with a bakery in the area. 18-in- well-know- well-know- It was during that time that he would meet Moselle. A graduate of Utah State University, Moselle's secretarial skills landed her a job working for the United States Embassy in Switzerlahd. From there, she would spend some time working in the embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where she would have many rare opportunities, one of which was to meet emperor Haile Selassie. She even took a picture of him, Gunter says. Started their family Back in the states, the two were soon married, bought the old home in Farming-to- n and started their family. Within seven years and two months, the Gunter and Moselle Neumann family had grown to eight members, adding four boys and two girls in very close procession. Well, Gunter and I were both a little older when we married and we just wanted to get our family here, Moselle said. By the 1970s, Gunter was preparing to go into business for himself and decided the garage on the south side of the home would make the perfect place for a bakery. Since a large-scal- e remodeling of the home was needed, the Neumanns began work on both projects. Wanting the new sections of the home to blend as well as possible with the older ones, the Neumanns hired Steven Baird, a historical architect, Moselle said. Rock for the home would come primarily from the ground that the home sat upon and something that is distinctly Farmington. This is the only place you can find brown rock like this, Gunter said, showing off some of the more unusual pieces of stone and explaining how it was all accomplished during six summers and mostly by their son Reid. It was a mammoth undertaking, as the , more than 2,000 rocks were pulled up from the property and then hand split by Gunter and his children. With the remodeling complete, the Neumann Bakery swung into full gear, and once again the children were put to good use. They were my delivery people, Gunter said. I would give them the choice between staying here and washing dishes or going out on delivery. They were glad lo deliver. Using techniques and recipes he gleaned in Switzerland, Neumanns Bakery, which is essentially work done on consignment, features a number of unique and unusual treats. We do eclairs, lots for missionary farewells and things like that. We also do sheet cakes, wedding cakes, Gunter said, listing just a few of his specialties. One such specialty is the fondant, or rolled type icing, that is being seen more and more atop some of the wedding cakes that come out of Neumanns Bakery. The recipe for the icing is one that Gunter improved, Moselle said of the tasty cake topping. In addition, Neumann makes a gingerbread cookie and Spitzkuchen, a cake-lik-e cookie that has almonds. Glimpse into history Today, a visit to Neumanns Bakery and home finds not only an unusual home-base- d business, but with the home itself, an interesting glimpse into the history of the early settlers. With the preservation of the homes original two rooms, which the Neumanns have filled with wonderful antiques and artifacts, the entire compound is the result of a great deal of care and love, not only for the present, but for the past, as well. Its also taken a lot of hard work, Moselle said, smiling. A lot of hard, hard work. Keep costs down and enjoyment up during holidays money worries dont need the best of you.' Try some of tips to keep costs down without diminishing the pleasure of holiday gift giving and entertaining. Part of the charm of Christmas is in its special aromas - the scent of pine trees or a crackling fire or Christmas goodies baking. The following old fashioned ideas are given to help add that festive feeling to your home without wrecking your budget. Holiday Scents Welcome holiday guests with scents of the season: Fill a small sauce pan or crock pot with your favorite simmering potpourri or try the following recipe. Let this mixture sim- - IIOUSE Sense D Teresa Hunsaker USU Extension Service mer, releasing a spicy scent. Stove top potpourri Combine: whole allspice whole cloves cinnamon sticks or bark Pieces of dried orange peel Put 1 to 2 tablespoons in 3 cups of water in small pan or crock pot. Bring to a boil. Let simmer, adding additional water as needed. Fill a pretty bowl with potpourri or hang tiny bags of it on your Christmas tree or from hanging light fixtures. Make pomander balls. Stick whole cloves in lemons, apples or oranges (cover entire surface). Suspend the balls in a warm, dry place, such as a closet for one week. Then hang them throughout the house. Gift giving on a budget Make a list of food, gifts and decorations to be purchased and carry it with you. A list may help you avoid impulse buying, which is expensive. Set a realistic budget for holiday expenses. This budget should include not only the cost of entertaining, but also the cost of eating out at Christmas parties, etc. Pay cash whenever you can. Youll shop more selectively and avoid those dreary January bills. Consider gifts of service. Give a coupon g for hours, meals, treats, household chores, car washes, etc., that mean something very special to the recipient. Comparison shop, especially for toys where prices may vary widely. Consider a phone survey before hitting the streets. Use creative gift wrap substitutes to replace more expensive wrapping paper, ribbon and cards. Select lightweight, gifts friends and relatives. for baby-sittin- le out-of-to- Itihh it yw-M- Itounliful IleallhCareand Rely- hilnation needv volunicerv to read o revklcniv ol all agev lo help with j tiviucc and ouungv, and lo he a friend.
