BIFF BIFFWELL, hard-hitting interviewer, chats with... CONSUMER REPORTER CELINE PAYCHECK! BIFF: Celine, our mailbag is full of letters asking: what should I get dad for Christmas...on a limited budget?? CELINE: Good question, Biff! High-end gifts for Dad like the "Reach-A-Round Razor" for pesky back hair...or the "Snak-o-belt" are simply too expensive for most buyers! Instead, I advise shoppers to wait until the last minute! Buy that gift for Dad today or tomorrow when the prices drop! BIFF: So there are bargains to be had, eh? CELINE: There sure are, Biff! Howveer there is a downside! Most of the good merchandise has been picked over! Shopping for Dad at the last minute means you might have less to choose from! NATE: I can afford both the cowboy hat and the "buns of steel" video! ELLEN: He'll be thrilled.
