The Twelve Days of Apple

Apple has a bit of a reputation as being pricey. High quality, but pricey. However, when compared to the cost of the items mentioned in the Twelve Days of Christmas, you could go overboard on Apple products for 12 days for less than half of the cost. According to a recent article from the Associated Press (found on Yahoo! News), the cost of the 12 days of Christmas has increased 10.8% to $96,824 (according to the annual Christmas Price Index compiled by PNC Wealth Management). Yowzers!

So, for those of you on a budget, I give you the twelve days of Apple.
