CVS Info:

First of all, you will need a CVS ExtraCare card. This is obtained easily at any store at the register. Some will ask you to fill out the form then and there, others will just give you the card and ask you to return the form later.

Once you have the card, you can now start CVSing

The biggest thing to understand is that CVS uses a promotional program called "ExtraCare Bucks" (commonly abbreviated as ECBs.) These print out on your receipt immediately once you purchase an item offering them; almost like an instant-rebate you get at the register. You can turn around and use them anytime on almost anything in the store, except for alcohol, cigarettes, and gift cards.

Often, CVS advertises items as "Free after ECB" – For example, throughout the month of November, CVS has Crest Pro Health Whitening Toothpaste in 4.2 oz size, for free after ECB. The cost is $3.49, but you get $3.49 back instantly on your receipt. The best part is that there are often coupons available that can actually help you earn money… like for the above toothpaste, there are $1 off coupons available, meaning the item would be $2.49, but you get $3.49 in ECBs back. The limit on this toothpaste for this month is 2. So if you wanted to start off small to get into CVSing, the thing to do would be to buy one toothpaste in the first transaction (and use a coupon if you have one, so that you either pay $3.49 or $2.49 in cash), then use the $3.49 ECBs you get back from that first transaction to pay for the second tube of toothpaste, and again, receive $3.49 more in ECBs.

The trick now is to roll your ECBs so that you rarely pay more than maybe a dollar or two in tax on transactions, instead using your ECBs from previous transactions… then earning more to keep doing the same. It's a cycle (and a game/addiction to some, lol.)

Today I felt like doing some cooking. I made:
Fajita Mix
Chicken Fajitas
Chicken Stir Fry
Rice
Kung Pao Chicken
Arugula Salad with Beets and Feta
Orange Vinaigrette for the salad

then DH comes down and goes, "We were supposed to eat leftovers! We have so many leftovers to eat and now we have a lot more food." Annoyed

Question for those who cook with corn tortillas...

How the heck do I make enchiladas that hold their shape? I ended up with a pool of enchilada goo. Frown It was tasty, but lacked form.

Help!

I had the chicken marinating in the fajita mix for a while and then I started slicing all these vegetables and I think I forgot I was making fajitas, because most of the veggies were stir fry-like laugh out loud So I had to make an extra dish (the stir fry) and make more chicken Blush

That's what I did. Frown I only baked it for 30 min at 350, plus a few minutes under the broiler for the cheese to brown a bit. Mush. Total mush.

Maybe you used too much sauce? What did you use for a filling?

I put down a thin layer of Pace salsa verde Coverlaugh and had chicken with one can of drained hot rotel and a bit of the salsa in it - filled the tortillas with that. Did not dip the tortillas. Poured about half a jar - maybe more into a bowl and added sour cream to it to thicken it up. Topped with shredded monterrey jack.

I am thinking that the tomatoes and the salsa had too much liquid in them that came off in cooking and mushied everything up. Too much liquid will definitely do that.

I'll ask DH. He's Hispanic and can cook better than a Mexican version of Gordon Ramsay (DH doesn't curse at his sous chefs either Teehee). His mother taught him well and thankfully he's passed some of that on to me. Tamales, caldo de pollo, carnitas, chorizo con huevos. yummy

He's actually on his way back from Mexico right now. We are only 45 minutes from the border.

Maybe try it with a slightly thicker sauce and don't add tomatoes to the filling, use beans or something else like that?
