I started using Swagbucks again and signed up for netflix!

I started using swagbucks as my home page again. I had a little under 1300 points with which I was able to redeem $10.00 Amazon gift cards.I haven't used swagbucks in a year so I was impressed that I still had an account with them. I found out that you can apply the gift cards to your amazon account which doesn't expire and you can have waiting for your next amazon purchase. I got 1000 swagbucks for signing up for netflix for one month trial period. if i decide to keep it, $7.99 a month for netflix.

Chicken Carbonara Alfredo with Broccoli

I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.
