Instead of giving people gifts they’ll never use, how about giving them gift baskets with items they need and will appreciate? Just buy the best deals for these themed baskets using free printable coupons, store coupons and cash back offers. Then package them in a gift bag or a basket you have on hand, add a ribbon and give it a name. Here are a few ideas with links to the free and cheap deals for each topic:
Now that your Thanksgiving meal is over, you may have a full refrigerator of leftovers (like I do!). Instead of making a gloppy casserole, I like to use the leftovers to make healthy meals like salads and soups. For example, topping a bed of salad greens with turkey and leftover vegetables becomes a gourmet salad, without having to heat up the oven again. Or put a pot on the stove using water or broth as a starting point, then throw in turkey, carrots, onions, celery–whatever veggies you have on hand–to make a savory soup. I also add a grains or legumes like lentils, beans or pasta to make a more substantial soup. Season with your favorite seasonings and/or garlic to taste. Of course, if there’s leftover dessert I’m happy to finish with that!
With all the socializing, eating and drinking during the holiday season, be sure to brush after every meal with a good toothpaste like Crest Pro-Health Whitening Power toothpaste. I’ve been a loyal Crest user for my entire life and it’s worked–I don’t have dental problems. Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste is the only toothpaste accepted by the American Dental Association to treat all 7 dental health issues: plaque, gingivitis, cavities, sensitivity, tartar, whitening and breath freshening. For more information about Crest, visit www.Crest.com .

Crest has a sense of humor–I laughed at this video showing kids’ reactions to healthy Halloween candy options. Kids know how to be honest! You can stick with Halloween candy for your Trick-or-Treaters–just make sure they brush their teeth!
Seriously, Halloween can get expensive–especially when it comes to buying Halloween candy. You never want to run out of candy for Trick-or-Treaters, so if you wait too long you’ll end up paying full price for more candy than you’ll need. The key to saving is to stock up on sale-priced candy at CVS with coupons well ahead of Halloween (like this week!). If you’re saving 50-75% on candy, it’s OK to buy extra. I make sure to hide it so my family doesn’t eat it all before the 31st!
Of course, with all the candy we know our kids will eat, it’s even more important to make sure they brush their teeth with toothpaste they like. Let’s be honest, we eat our share of candy too. Stock up and save on Crest toothpaste for the whole family at CVS this week with a “buy one, get one 50% off” sale on many Crest toothpaste varieties, such as Crest Pro-Health, Crest 3D White and Crest Complete. The promotion lasts from 10/21 to 10/27.
