Listen to internet radio with MyLitter on Blog Talk Radio

It has been a while, but I think it is time to bring the radio show back! If you are a long time MyLitter reader you will remember that, wow, almost 2 years ago I would do a weekly 30 min. radio show, highlighting the deals of the week and talking your phone calls.

Paul has been encouraging me to do it again and so we will start this MONDAY, June 6th at 10am central time.

Each week will be a mini-coupon class, this week I will be covering Where and How to find coupons, how you can get some free and where to find them in the stores. Plus, I will do a run down on the top drug store deals of the week and take a few phone calls. It is only 30 minutes long and so we will move FAST!

To listen all you have to do is click the link that I will be posting Monday morning OR go to Blog Talk Radio and type in “MyLitter”. You can also see the show HERE.

** The CVS 101 that you can currently listen to is the first one I did, so it is 2 years old… but still good to listen to!

Chicken Lasagna (Thanks AllRecipes!)

Ingredients

  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 (8 ounce) cooking cream cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Meanwhile, place the chicken in a saucepan with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from saucepan, and shred.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Dissolve the bouillon cube in hot water. In a large bowl, mix the chicken with the bouillon, cream cheese, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Spread 1/3 of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover with the chicken mixture, and top with 3 lasagna noodles; repeat. Top with remaining sauce, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven.

*IMPORTANT NOTE IF PURCHASING THE $5.99 ROOT LIFT WITH $5/1 MANUF. COUPONS* From Totally Target:
If you still have the Gift Card glitch in your store (some don’t, some still have it), your final total when using MANUFACTURER’S coupons cannot drop below $10 or 2 of your coupons will fail. This means that you will have to have at least an extra $7.03 in your order (that you won’t be using MQs on) to absorb your coupon value. If you don’t, your first $5/1 coupon will scan fine, your second will scan for $2.97 and your third will scan at $0.00. Be sure and use your $3/2 Target coupon LAST as it has no affect on this glitch and will allow your total to drop below the $10.

Broccoli Salad – My Favorite Salad EVER!

By 15 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

This is my most very favorite salad in the world. YEP. Strong statement, it really is though! My Grandma made this all the time when I was living with her. She would make it and leave the dressing on the side. Then we would eat the salad for days pouring only what we needed for dressing on our plates, that way the salad stayed good and didn’t get all soggy with the dressing.

When I take it for potlucks ( I suggest doing this and making sure you have the recipe to hand out) I keep the dressing on the side until served and then pour it on. It is always a huge hit and you can make it many different ways.

Broccoli Salad
4 cups broccoli florrets cut small
1 cup green grapes cut in half
1 cup purple grapes cut in half
1 bunch green onions chopped.
8 strips bacon fried and crumbled
1 small package slivered almonds
1 cup celery

Dressing:
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup vinegar

Mix until smooth and consistency of salad dressing. Add to salad when ready to eat.

I have seen people add raisins and cauliflower, but I like it best the way I posted.  I also like my ingredients cut up kinda small and not big chunks. Thats it, that easy! make some today!

Have you had this salad before? How do you make it?

CVS Deals June 5th – 11th

By 12 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

If you are new to CVS, you can read my CVS 101 HERE to help you get started. I also have a little video of how to make a transaction HERE if that would help.

CVS is my favorite place to shop! They have such good deals each week. Like many people before I started couponing I would have never bought anything in a CVS, they were too expensive! Read over my CVS 101 to get started.

Here is a super easy one…

If you are new to CVS try to do this deal to see how easy it is:

  • Walk in and scan your CVS card at the Red Machine in the store. Just for fun to see what good coupons you get!
  • Now, grab 2 of the Excedrin 8ct. boxes for $.99 each
  • Purchase one of them, hand the cashier your CVS card and pay the total.
  • Then on the bottom of your receipt, rip off the $.99 ECB that you just got back.
  • Purchase the 2nd box of Excedrin, give the cashier your CVS card, then hand the cashier the ECB that you ripped off your receipt and use it to pay for this purchase!
  • Sweet! You just got 2 boxes of Excedrin for $.99, plus got $.99 BACK for next week!
