• 1 envelope (1 ounce) dry onion recipe soup & dip mix
• 1 cup Swanson® Beef Broth or 50% Less Sodium
Beef Broth
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder or small clove garlic,
minced

Herbed Beef Kabobs
Provided by Campbell Soup Company
• Step 1: Stir the soup mix, broth, oil, thyme, black pepper and garlic powder in a shallow nonmetallic
dish or gallon size resealable plastic bag. Add the beef and stir to coat. Cover the dish or seal
the bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Step 2: Remove the beef from the marinade. Thread the beef and peppers alternately onto 4 skewers.
• Step 3: Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the kabobs for 20 minutes for
medium or to desired doneness, turning and brushing often with the marinade. Discard the
remaining marinade.
week, you will have saved $2600 in a year.
It’s important to celebrate your milestones
along the way and set achievable goals - from
your first $100 saved to your first month of
saving consistently.
It’s also important to make sure your savings
are accessible if you need them for an emergency
- try looking into a high-yield savings
account to store your money. A general rule
of thumb is to work to build enough funds to
cover a 6-month period of rent, utilities, car
payments and other financial commitments.
This number may seem daunting, so start
with smaller goals to save your first $500,
$1,000 and beyond.
Don’t Forget About Your Credit
Your credit and cash are inseparable when
it comes to your financial health. Paying your
mortgage or rent and bills on time keeps your
credit score healthy, which opens up doors
for better credit card offers and lower interest
rates on everything from your car payment to
credit cards, saving you money in the long
run. If you have a good credit score and a
history of making on-time payments, asking
your bank to increase your credit limit could
also give you more access funds, or at least
give you a buffer if you need it.
Look into resources like Credit Sesame’s
free Sesame Cash online bank account and
debit card that can help you start earning
cash - up to $100 - when your credit score
goes up. Discounts and cashback rewards can
also help you stow away money for saving:
Credit Sesame, for instance, offers up to 15
percent instant cash back from thousands of
restaurants and retailers when you use your
debit card. This way, you are improving your
credit score and saving for the future. And
if you connect your employer or IRS direct
deposit (including your tax returns and future
stimulus checks) to your Sesame Cash account,
you can get paid up to two days early.
Keep an Eye on the Prize
Saving money isn’t easy, and it’s not exactly
fun - but as the world continues to reopen after
a year of lockdown, saving now can set you
up for that vacation, bigger purchase or return
to “normal spending” once it’s safe to do so.
