    July Competition – Winter Memory Lane

    Landing by helicopter above the Franz Josef Glacier in NZ, pretty special when I live in sunny Queensland!

    Are Aussie cafes secretly charging you extra? The shocking 30 per cent fee one customer just discovered

    I must be old or something, I would never consider sitting down at a cafe or restaurant if I’d bought something from a takeaway menu! It makes sense to me to take my food/drink and go!

    Greek Shortbread

    Wow! Five eggs. Eggs are like hen’s teeth in my local area.

    What’s a hobby you’ve picked up lately that makes you feel years younger?

    My volunteer job is my hobby, I visit a 9 year old girl weekly, who lives in foster care. When outdoors, we play frisbees, take walks, even jump on the trampoline!

    Deb’s Dollar Dazzlers: Three tasty meals, clever savings, and a $250 cookbook win!

    No big deal, I buy it for $5 on special, and none of it goes to waste! I’ve seen more expensive dips.

    Deb’s Dollar Dazzlers: Three tasty meals, clever savings, and a $250 cookbook win!

    It is expensive, I grab it when it’s on special, there’s plenty left for bikkies, cheese, pate and dips! And a bottle of bubbly. We treat ourselves every now and then, seeing we rarely eat out!

    Deb’s Dollar Dazzlers: Three tasty meals, clever savings, and a $250 cookbook win!

    With the airfryer chicken, you have to be careful that the drumsticks are cooked right through. Seems like the end has dropped off my recipe, as I had another 5 minutes of airfrying, giving it 25 minutes. Just 20 minutes is not long enough. To test, you could use a thermometer (I don’t own one).

    Deb’s Dollar Dazzlers: Three tasty meals, clever savings, and a $250 cookbook win!

    I’m sure you could replace pate with dip (eg hommus). I actually make my own hommus, and add chilli, so I might try that sometime instead of using pate.

    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...

    Deb's Dollar Dazzlers: How to win a share in $40,000 of prizes, common survey mistakes & a last-minute, easy dinner

    Thanks for your input. I really think you are missing a few points I have made: 1 I suggested (using The Barefoot Investor's quote) "Tread your own path" - my articles are to help people, and people can make their own choices 2 I have re-iterated many times to "Read the Terms & Conditions" 3 I...
