I am glad you had a good time on your trip. Have you ever been to Publix? It is very similar to Hyvee. I will always love Publix more than Hyvee because it reminds me of home in the same way that Hyvee reminds you of home.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back!
Keep up this blogsite! I am delighted to have found you, and I used your Ecotrin idea to help buy milk and other things I needed at Walgreens until all the smaller sizes somehow disappeared frome the shelves of my local stores! :O)
ReplyDeleteI've been to Public in Florida and I thought it was a great store. Nicer than HyVee. I wish we had either one of them in St Louis.
ReplyDeleteThe Ectorin deal was fantastic. I used some of mine for road food this last week. (20 oz. sodas, chips & candy) I forgot to include those purchases in my weekly totals. Now, I'm feeling quilty when I hear of others purchasing healthy things with their Ecotrin RR.
