Horne's Gravee (gravy enhancer) is fabulous. I not only use it for thickening and adding flavor to my beef gravies but use it for seasoning steaks and burgers,even roasts. To help tenderize and flavor a steak, moisten the steak, sprinkle the Gravee powder on the steak (both sides) tenderize by poking with a fork or meat tenderizing tool. Let sit for a few minutes or better yet overnight, the longer it sits the better the flavor. Then grill as you normally would. Oh! So good; tender, with flavor that won't quit.
Trust me, once you have tried this product, you will never go back to your old way of tenderizing and flavoring meat. It only costs about $4.00 for a 340g can, which will last you for quiet awhile. I find it at CanadaSafeway, if you can't locate it on the shelves ask the staff to show you where they keep it. You will not regret trying this product.

Zulily is a website that has a multitude of little shops inside of it. I have been ordering stuff for my grand children and nieces and nephews since just before Christmas of 2013. This site amazes me, the variety of items you can find, not only for babies but for everyone, including your pets. Some of the little shops can be pricy but being the thrifty person I am I shop mainly the specials and sales. For instance I recently purchased the following for under $37.00 (including shipping) 1 zip up hoodie and pants in toddler size, 4 onesies size 6-12 mo and a polar fleece Peacoat , kids size 12. Quality is excellent; styles are varied from funky to old-fashioned and frilly. It is a must see site and believe me once you go there you will be hooked like myself. -

I was introduced to this product in the 1980's by a friend whose daughter was a model in the States. My original little jar(tub) was priced at 39 cents. I believe it has gone up in price to about $4.00, but well worth every penny. I have my original tub, but have bought a few more over the years. Excellent for chapped and sore lips, and the girl who was the model said if they had a blemish before a shoot was scheduled they used this to help heal blemishes. I never get blemishes so have never tried that out. She modeled for years so I am assuming it is true. A great little product, still available at most drug stores and a product that works every time.It is made by the CARMA LAB..INC of Wisconsin, USA. It is a little known product but a powerful one. -

Dance Experience is a fantastic organization that has been around for 39 years. Started originally by Morrie Murray, as a non-profit, affordable dance studio for children. She wanted to give children a chance to learn to dance while having fun and make it affordable for the parents. The studio is taught at a elementary school, as the organization puts all it's monies back into the classes etc. This past year the school has 316 students and teaches such a diversity of classes. Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Tap, Hip Hop, Musical Theater and more. Ages range from 3 -50 with class levels for each appropriate age. I attended 3 out of the 4 year end shows this year and was blown away at the level of expertise the students had, the expression of enjoyment on their faces. My own daughter went to this studio, then taught at this studio and now my grandchildren and daughter-in-law dance there.
The most important thing that impressed me from the beginning of this school was what was being taught. Respect, talent while still giving the students a sense of fun, and the cost is minimal compared to other studios. For more information you can e-mail [email protected]. You will be glad you did if you are looking for a dance studio for yourself or your child.

I received a sample of this in the mail; tried it; not too enthused. It's OK but not great. I have problems sleeping and it really didn'y help. I do like the fragrance and it was nice having it sprayed on my pillow and at least I had a pleasant smell to fall asleep to. Wouldn't purchase on my own. This is why when you are on a budget, samples are so important. No sense spending ,money only to waste it. -

A great place to find clothes, household items etc at bargain prices. They get designer items frequently at ridiculously low prices. You have to pop in often to just check on what has recently arrived. Need a quick gift, you can find something suitable for almost anyone and the cost is so much lower. Perfect place to find bargains. In Edmonton we have one on Whyte Avenue and 104 St and one downtown on the north side -

Fresh is better but who always has fresh citrus on hand.

Blue Dragon makes quite a few sauces that are prepared and sold in pouches for use in chinese meal preparation. Very low cost of $1.37 for a 140ml pouch. I like to do a lot of Chinese cooking and this sauce is every bit as good as that I make from scratch with no mess or bother. Another nice thing about it is that it is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It needs not be kept in the refrigerator and has a long shelf life., -

Encounter Omega- 3 Enteric coated soft gels were recommended to help me sleep. I have had a sleeping problem for years, fall asleep quickly but do not seem to be able to sleep for any length of time. Well l have been taking this supplement (1 1000 IU gel before bed) for approximately 1 week. Not only am I sleeping better at night but I am diabetic and my glucose reads have come down so much that I should soon be able to lower my insulin amounts. Apparently the omega-3 helps your body to produce its own Melatonin. Believe me with results like I have seen in the past week, I am definitely sold on this product. I would recommend it to anyone, not only is it helping me to sleep but it helps with cognitive health and/or brain function along with cardiovascular health. Cost was approximately $15.00 for 60 soft gels, not a bad price for all the things it helps with. -
