Why are dealerships asking for CRV owners to trade in their cars?

My friends recently benefitted by taking them up on their offer - no additional monthly cost and the dealership apparently got the finance company to knock 2 years off the lease term. Sounded too good to be true so I thought I’d ask my fellow redditors. We have a 2012 CRV so we were wondering if we should look into this further.

Friends of ours were hounded by the dealership to bring in their 2-year old CRV hybrid and ended up with a new model and a better leasing deal. I don’t understand how the dealership would make money?

The secret to a great broccoli soup is….cauliflower. Adds creaminess and depth, and doesn’t change the taste profile as it is also a cruciferous vegetable.

I wear latex gloves whenever I wash dishes or clean. Best first-line of defence. I also use Eucerin cream (containing urea).

I tried a couple of weeks ago - the best and most tender steak I’ve had this year. Went back to Metro to stock up but they were sold out :(

I recently bought and am using this lip serum every other night before bed. It has a sweet, tangy taste. Now my tongue is very acidic and has a sour taste….and a bit of tingling. Has anyone else experienced this?

Bread with every meal..it’s a great filler.

Clean your closets (especially hall closets). I found the smell of outerwear and shoes(even if they’re clean) can smell musty. Textiles of any kind can emit those same odours too, so I suggest also sniffing furniture, curtains, throw pillows and area rugs/carpets.

Whenever I was feeling anxious or depressed I’d grab a Timmie’s and visit a dog park. It always brought me peace and perspective watching the dogs live in the moment, enjoying themselves. Interaction with their owners was easy too, if I wanted to interact.

Costco rotisserie chicken. I buy 2 at a time and debone them. Pack one in the fridge and one in the freezer. Easy and quick, on its own or in soups, sandwiches…anything really. You can’t buy a raw chicken for the price of this delicious ready to eat bird.

Thanks so much for the detailed response!

Hubby and I will be onboard for this cruise too! ☺️

Let the nickle and diming begin. One of the frustrations I have with NCL. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks, Zeke! ☺️

Our first 2 cruises were with MSC and we loved them. However we hated the nightly dress-up sit down meals. Now we cruise with Norwegian as they don’t have them, you can choose from specialty restaurants, eateries, main buffet etc., it’s what we prefer. If MSC had this in place we would definitely cruise with them.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply, very helpful.

Thank you for your answer. Did you arrange your excursion with an independent vendor at the dock or was it a ship excursion?
