    Stir Fry Chinese Greens With Mushrooms

    My staple dinner when “batching”, but always added some chilli, and a piece of fish. Perfect. A complete meal in a pan.

    Deb's Dollar Dazzlers: How Social Media Changed Competitions, More Survey Sites, and Slow-Cooked Turkey Drumsticks

    “Tread your own path”. Just looking at my records: in 2024 I collected the following in supermarket gift cards - $235 from Octopus; $100 from Purkle; $100 from Connect Panel (news.com.au). I also won $14,000 worth of prizes from competitions.

    Deb's Dollar Dazzlers: How Social Media Changed Competitions, More Survey Sites, and Slow-Cooked Turkey Drumsticks

    Constructive comment would be to try a recipe, and then have something to say. I wouldn’t be so publicly rude to knock a recipe that someone has posted, without trying it. If I wasn’t interested in trying it, I’d keep my views to myself.

    Deb's Dollar Dazzlers: How Social Media Changed Competitions, More Survey Sites, and Slow-Cooked Turkey Drumsticks

    Thanks readers, lovely to read your comments. Let me reply: 1. Try my recipe, with one drumstick at a diagonal in your slow cooker, to serve two. I’m not reading here that anyone commenting has tried my recipe. My recipe is the crux of my post! 2. “Serving guides” are fine, but I have cooked...

    What’s the most impressive physical thing you’ve ever done?

    Just before my 50th bday, I raced my hubby to the top of Ayers Rock (Uluru), because he was always telling me how unfit I was, but I knew that wasn’t true! I must say, it was hard going, my knees have never been the same since!

    Deb's Dollar Dazzlers: How Social Media Changed Competitions, More Survey Sites, and Slow-Cooked Turkey Drumsticks

    Obviously you have tried my slow cooker turkey drumstick recipe, which is great that you have! The meat is absolutely succulent, nothing dried/shrivelled about the turkey meat (eg like BBQ’d or oven roasted turkey). There is plenty of meat for two, we serve it with roasted vegetables and gravy...

    Thanks for your input.

    Deb's Dollar Dazzlers: From Relish to Rewards – Stretch Your Dollar Further

    Good luck with future crosswords! I used to enter them a few years back, and won a couple of minor prizes. I’ve just recently started “crosswording” again, no wins yet. The lounge sounds a great win and resale. I once sold a camera at a bargain-box price, as I’d already bought one for myself...

We also scan the Aldi aisles for a few other buys, trying different products etc. It’s about a 15 minute drive for us to get to Aldi. We have Coles & Woolies situated close...

    Deb's Dollar Dazzlers: Recession Busters

    Exactly! I cook, sew, garden, do voluntary work, enter comps, complete surveys, sometimes work one day a week, read, Bookclub, walk the dog, support the local craft brewery (lol) … for me there’s retirement time to fill, and winning/earning shopping vouchers is fun! But it’s all about...
