New Year's Hustle
Only a few days are left until the New Year, and the hustle and bustle has already taken over the city. People are rushing to buy groceries and gifts at the lowest prices, but not everyone is successful. Most homemakers start shopping around the 10th of December to keep costs to a minimum.


Based on personal experience and knowledge of prices, a general figure has been calculated for creating a festive table on New Year's Eve. This amount is 5750 soms. It includes two types of hot dishes, four types of salads, fruits, and an alcoholic basket worth 1500 soms. Within this budget, you can delight five picky guests.
The main alcoholic attribute of the New Year - champagne - can be purchased for an average of 500 soms, considering that the minimum price for the beloved Soviet Champagne is 200 soms.
During this magical holiday, we should not forget about the little dreamers. You can order Grandfather Frost and the lovely Snow Maiden for an average of 2,500 soms. The magnificent acting skills and enthusiasm of the performers will leave no child in the world indifferent. Fairy tales, songs, round dances, poems, and desired gifts will delight the children splendidly. However, unfortunately, the performance lasts about half an hour, and you must discreetly place the gift into the kind grandfather's bag to avoid any mishaps. If the actors do not suit you, parents can also transform into magical characters, especially since it will cost much less: the rental price for fairy-tale costumes is only 500 soms per day. However, the closer it gets to the holiday, the higher the price.
One should not think that only parents should have such epic costumes for the New Year, as children also need to surprise their peers with stunning outfits at the matinee. Such a costume can be purchased for a price ranging from 1000 to 3500 soms, or rented for 500 soms. And for good performance and behavior, the child deserves a sweet reward. A gift box filled with candies, enclosed in a beautiful cardboard box shaped like a hut, for example, is sold for 480 soms. It contains quality chocolate candies, mainly produced in Russia and Ukraine. And if you try hard enough, you can find a decent "gift" for 250 soms. The sweets everywhere are of good quality and fresh, while prices fluctuate due to the countries of origin and the number of grams in the package.
And what is New Year without a wonderful evergreen tree? You can purchase a small tree for up to 2500 soms, while larger forest beauties are sold for 4000. You can buy a piece of the forest for yourself until December 31 inclusive at the well-known Christmas tree market.
Equipped with all the necessary attributes of the New Year, you will have a good chance of celebrating it memorably in the warm circle of family. And for those who are used to lighting up the dance floors in clubs during the holidays, there are also several enticing offers. Almost every club in the capital will host festive events that include, in addition to feasting and explosive musical emotions, an interesting show program, and in some establishments, live music. The cost of this pleasure will depend on the number of attendees and the variety of services offered. Considering this situation, one can roughly calculate the simple values: from 500 to 1500 soms for entry without a deposit and up to 4000 with a specified deposit.
One cannot forget the third option for celebrating the New Year. Starting from 12 noon, right in the central square, you can bid farewell to the old and welcome the new 2016 year. Contests, star performances, a night disco, and, of course, a grand colorful fireworks display - everything will amaze and delight us on December 31 in the main square of Ala-Too.
Where and how to meet the year is a personal decision for everyone. The main thing is to make the right choice, as the saying goes: "How you meet the New Year is how you will spend it."
