Will Nasgovitz, portfolio manager of Hartland Advisors told CNBC he sees a few consumer staples stocks that will help boost portfolios.

Recommendations:
Safeway Grocery Store —“They’re trading at 10 times earnings…and are going to be a cash flow machine next year. They’re going to have a growth of $700 million of free cash flow versus [over] $500 million this year, and maybe a billion in 2010…”
Hormel Foods —“We think there’s a real margin opportunity...It’s a company with a great balance sheet, a nice dividend, a leader in the space.”
