My Thanksgiving CVS Shopping Trip
We had a little CVS party last night!
I spent $4 TOTAL for all that above!
We actually had a babysitter early in the evening and tossed around seeing a movie until the sale switched over. But bad planning on our part everything was sold out! At midnight we met my friend Suzanne and my Sister Anna and her husband at CVS! Did our Thanksgiving shopping and got home at 1am! It was fun!
Rumor has it that the limit on the deodorant is 2 and not 1. Also it appears that the limit is also 2 on the Advil and the Excerdrine, but you have to buy them in separate transactions to get your ECB’s!
I did 7 transactions total. It worked out just like I posted HERE. Plus, at the end I did the Playtex deal HERE and left with $10 in ECB’s!

Ovaltine Shakes and Giveaway ~ Whopper of a Malt ~
My 95 year old ( she doesn’t look it does she?) Grandma is in town, she flew down from Iowa. She has a thing for sweets, especially chocolate. So I decided to make her the best malt in the world with a combination of Ovaltine Malt mix and Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. You have to use Ovaltine if you make a malt, then you can feel good about chugging 5 scoops of ice cream because you are getting just about all of your daily needs of vitamin A, D, C and iron, not to mention five other vitamins and minerals. It’s how I like to take my vitamins. In a blender, with ice cream. Also, those vitamins will zero out any calories from the ice cream.
Making a malted milk shake is simple.
You will need:
Ice Cream (lowfat if you’re not into taste)
Milk (skim, if you want to shave some calories)
Ovaltine Malt mix (and the Rich Chocolate mix, just to make it EXTRA chocolatey)
Whoppers
For each person’s milk shake you will want to figure about three scoops of ice cream. If no one has had lunch yet, give everyone an extra scoop. Remember, they are going to get more than 60% of most of their needed daily vitamins! I am telling you, Ovaltine is that good. Especially because we are adding in milk! And whoppers. And Ovaltine.
Remember, the trick is to mix the ice cream, malt, and milk first. I never measure when I make milkshakes, I just add a little milk at a time. The more milk you add, the thinner the malt. Once that is sufficiently mixed up, add the whoppers and only mix for a few seconds. If you mix it too long the whoppers will be mashed to smithereens.
Pour into glasses-my malt isn’t very thick, I wasn’t measuring and dumped in too much milk! My Grandma almost had a heart attack that I didn’t measure what I was throwing in, I just figured it was a malt, you get to taste it along the way to make sure it’s how you want. You can always add more ice cream, which is fine with me 🙂
But I think she got over it and decided she loved it anyway!
Nestle has offered to give 1 reader a HUGE basket of Nestle products! It rocks!
To enter to win leave a comment letting us know what your favorite kind of shake or malt is!
The fine print: Nestle provided me with Ovaltine to try and with coupons to give to my readers. These opinions are my own and if I hated the stuff I would tell you!
