CVS

I never thought I would, but I have been shopping at CVS more and more. Although their prices are regularly higher than elsewhere, the deals they have, the coupons you can use, and the Extra Care Bucks (ECB) you can earn ends up saving us so much in the long run. Plus, the various points programs available offer CVS gift cards as reward options.

When you utilize the sales, match coupons with the sales, put ECB towards the final prices, and earn more extra care bucks back, sometimes it's as though they are paying you to purchase from their store!

Knorr Homestyle Concentrated Stock

I am so excited about the Knorr Homestyle Concentrated Stock! The containers are so small yet they pack a heck of a lot of flavor! I also love the fact that it contains no MSG! The stock is great to use when you make rice. I've also used it in my soups. I am glad that Smiley360.com allowed me to try the Knorr Homestyle Concentrated Stock as one of my "missions".

I want to share one of my favorite of Knorr's recipes from their website:
