It never hurts to ask

I just attended some “recession-proofing your clients” seminars for my job and came away with some great tips for Provident Living.

Such as asking the cashier at any retail outlet if they have any promotions or discounts at this time or in the near future. I bought some kids clothes at the mall, asked the cashier, and she said, “Next week we are having a sale on accessories, but I can give you 10% off today.”

I was surprised, because I was just trying this tip out without expecting anything. I had no idea how easy it was and so simple. I struck out at the next store, but I didn't feel awkward asking.

Apple Dip (Crockpot Dulce de Leche)

Take one or more cans of condensed sweetened milk (fat free is okay!), remove label and set in crockpot. Fill crockpot with water to fully cover the cans plus some. You want the cans submerged in water for the entire cooking time, may add water if needed. Cook on low for 8-9 hours.

When you open the can you can stir in a teaspoon of vanilla if you would like. The source for this recipe claims you can keep unopened (but 'cooked') cans for several months in the pantry.
