It’s the tenth day of the tenth month of the year 2010. Pretty cool, huh?
Coupons, Online Codes, and Deals
It never fails. Every year in January, I vow to save more money on our groceries by using coupons, stockpiling, and finding the best deals. I even swear to write down the totals of everything I spend on each shopping trip to see how I do at the end of the year. I have the best intentions, but time keeps me from following through.
I recently found WeUseCoupons and have been amazed at the great coupon tips and tricks, free stuff, and great steals and deals posted there daily. The forum is very active, and the people there are helpful and inspire me to do better with each trip to the grocery store.
There are also other areas of the forum to help you find online deals (great for the holidays coming up….think Black Friday and Cyber Monday!) or even hang out and chat with other members.
If you’re new to couponing, already know what you’re doing, or are just curious, pop into their forums one day and check things out. There’s something for everyone there!
Healthy Choice Steaming Entrees
Healthy Choice recently launched their new line of Steaming Entrees and invites you to check them out on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/HealthyChoice.
I received two Healthy Choice Steaming Entrees to try out (Lemon Herb Chicken and Rosemary Chicken & Sweet Potatoes) and share my thoughts about. I’ll admit that I am a frequent buyer of frozen entrees because they’re so easy to pop in the microwave at work to have for lunch.
But first, I’d like to warn you that if you buy one of these and put it in the microwave it will make a loud squealing (or hissing) sound while it cooks. I failed to read this on the packaging and nearly had a heart attack when it started doing that. Of course, this is perfectly normal, but I just wasn’t used to having my food “talk”.
And here is the Lemon Herb Chicken:
Final Thoughts:
The chicken really tasted great and this was a pleasant surprise since most microwaved meats often don’t turn out so well. The green beans were crisp and tasted fresh, as did the tomatoes and noodles. It really was a good frozen entree. However, it did seem like the entree was almost swimming in water, and to be fair, that was probably because of the steam. I did cheat and add salt to my entree because I like just about all of my food seasoned with it, so I guess that probably cancelled out the “healthy” part. Overall, the taste was good and definitely worthy of a second try.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Healthy Choice and received samples of their new steaming entrées to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
