on this Friday afternoon in the heart of Illinois. Yes, where I live is called the heart of Illinois. Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it? We are under a winter weather advisory for Saturday afternoon and evening for freezing rain changing to snow. Oh Yuck, I just got my car all cleaned off from the last snow.
I have been busy this morning. I can’t seem to stay away from the grocery store. I try to limit myself but I get carried away. At Food Depot this morning my cash register receipt showed that I saved over $35 on this shopping trip. I was surprised to see that Food Depot is still carrying all kinds of Green Giant canned veggies for 49 cents a can. I don’t use many canned goods and I am pretty well stocked up. I also got the large size box of Post Raisin Bran for $1.67. I thought that was quite a bargain and that was without a coupon too.
There is not much news around here today. Several of you asked for updates on my sister and my niece. My sister is doing well except that she has caught a cold. I am hoping that is all it is and not the flu. My niece came home from the hospital today and she is doing well. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. I do believe that prayer can move a mountain.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay safe and be happy!! Don’t forget the tips for avoiding the flu. And if you haven’t got a flu shot yet, what are you waiting for?

Beth, It is like spring here today. I walked to the mailbox with my eyes closed and letting the sun shine on my face. Loved it. It's so warm it's scary . We have had single digit temperatures and now almost 60 degrees in a matter of a week. The world seems to be changing. Hope you stay safe and enjoy your weekend. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteIt was a chilly 28 today when I took the boys to school.
ReplyDeleteI do the same when I go shopping, I try so hard to stick to my list but then something catches my eye or the boys want something ...lol
Have a great weekend!
Have a wonderful weekend Beth.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, Glad to hear your sister and niece are doing well. Hope your sister's cold improves quickly. We have rain today but our temps are in the 60's. I've told you before how I love to shop at Food Depot. Glad you got some good bargains today. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteoh i hope you have an awesome weekend as well!!
ReplyDeleteno flu shot here, i take my chances!!
I tried three times to make a comment for pity sakes. Lets see about this time.
ReplyDeleteI did get the flu shot as soon as it was available. Boy am I glad. xoxox
Hi Beth
ReplyDeleteThe snow is getting nearer and nearer to us also.
Pleased to hear both your sister and niece are doing well.
Hugs Nita
I wish I could order groceries online from your grocery store. I pay 99 cents for most of my vegies, sometimes more. That's what happens when there are only two choices in town.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your relatives are doing well. I have never had a flu shot, and don't intend to ever get one. Neither does my hubby. So far, we haven't had it.
That sounds like a good place to shop for food. Your prices seem lower than ours. We do have a warehouse type food store also - Woodmans. Prices are so much cheaper there also. I've been getting flu shots for the past 20 years. Wouldn't go a year without it. I'm still extra cautious anyway and carry wipes with me in addition to all the hand washing. We're also staying away from crowds - especially in the movie theater.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, My husband insists that he and I and our teenaged son get flu shots every year. It really goes a long way toward keeping us all healthy! Hubby and I are teachers and are exposed to lots of sickness but yearly flu shots and lots of hand sanitizer really helps. I haven't had the flu for years (knock on wood!) Have a nice weekend and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYou got some awesome prices on your groceries!
ReplyDeleteSo glad everyone's health is improving! Enjoy your weekend!
We got up to 58 degrees here today! You got a great deal on your groceries. Glad to hear your sister and niece are doing well. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing - can't pass up the deals. Hope you don't get too much ice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great price on the raisin bran - one of my favorite cereals.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a warm rainy day.
I've never had a flu shot!!
Why is it that food costs so much money and often the food that doesn't cost a lot is the food no one wants to eat......so really good that you got some bargins......
ReplyDeleteIce coming your way..we have enough here already:(
ReplyDeleteblessings...
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of how you all get to use coupons there, you get a lot of good mileage off of it and so much savings. here in Canada they don't double up on coupons or in store sales+coupons they say you can only use one and usually its like 10 cents - $1 off, "oooh" please....Am jealous. Its wonderful if one clip coupons they can virtually get stuff for free and all is needed is sweat equity.
I hate those ice storms! I went to the grocers three times this week and spent more than I wanted to on every trip! lol
ReplyDeleteI am glad your niece is doing well and hope your sister only has a cold- xo Diana
Rainy here. I am so glad your Sister and niece are doing better. I pray it is not the flu. The flu is creating havoc here too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got some good sales...I can't resist them either.
Have a great weekend Beth!
Blessings, Joanne
I spend so much time grocery shopping...when I see deal like those veggies or cereal...i buy a case.
ReplyDeleteThank you: Glad to opme here.
ReplyDeleteBS
Stay warm & safe in the winter weather. Glad we got some rain finally. I look forward to Spring! Be well. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHave food shopped 3 times this week , looking for bargains mostly. Expected Snow and cold weather looming all over the Country, here. Hope it don't get too bad for you. Glad to hear the family are doing well Beth.
ReplyDeleteHugs Sheila x
You really have some good bargains at your grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't get the freezing rain today. We had rain yesterday but it quite before the temps dropped. Today is sunny and cold.
We don't have a Food Depot here in Orlando, but I do visit Aldi and get some bargains. :) My son and I are getting a flu shot, but hubby doesn't want one...stubborn.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday to you!
I'm so glad you sister and niece are doing well. I hope you didn't get that ice storm.
