While Back to School season gets me excited every year, I don’t ever look forward to the colder weather or the sniffly cold/flu season that comes afterwards. I’m excited to be partnering with Randalls today to share some of our family’s preparation tips for cold & flu season.
I’m not usually one to prepare in advance for every worst-case scenario. BUT after experiencing what it’s like for our whole family to be sick at once, I realized it’s not a bad thing to be prepared for the craziness that comes during the flu season each year.
Since we’re kinda hyper-budget-conscious I knew I had to find a way to prepare that wouldn’t break our budget or throw off our monthly spending. One way we’ve found to save money, even during sick-season is to buy Randalls’ line of Signature Care™ products whenever possible. In the Houston area, you can find these exclusively at Randalls, Tom Thumb and Albertsons, but they’re also available at all Albertsons Companies stores including Safeway, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets, Market Street, Albertsons Market and Carrs/Safeway. Signature Care products are affordable and effective. Over-the-counter medicine can be SO expensive so this is always step one in getting ready – making sure we have what we need in stock and we’ve purchased the best products we can at a great price! Signature Care medicines have the same active ingredients as the leading brands and they are FDA approved and pharmacy recommended as well! They even come with a 100% money back guarantee
Next on the list of things to stock up on comes the food. Now, I always try to keep “easy food” like spaghetti fixings in the pantry. You just never know when you need an easy meal, or when you might be about to start cooking dinner only to realize you’re out of a random ingredient you need to make the recipe work. If you literally always have a jar of spaghetti sauce and a box of noodles in your pantry this won’t be a stress anymore!
This season, take it a step further and make sure you are stocked up with food everyone wants when they are sick, too. Since you’re already at Randalls (or whichever of the Albertsons sister stores are closest to you!) stocking up on cold medicine, you’re in luck! They have a stellar line of organics right there in the store too. These are perfect for everyday cooking and especially for sniffly days.
When both parents are sick and everyone is craving comfort food, Randalls will TOTALLY have your back with O Organics® chicken noodle soup and their amazing saltine crackers too! It’s the perfect remedy for whatever is ailing you, and oh so easy to heat up so you can go back to laying on the couch and hoping someone gets better enough to take care of YOU soon. I love going to Randalls because their brands and products speak to what we need for our family.
If you aren’t the one sick, you can prepare homemade chicken soup for your family. Watch the video below to see how to use the same amazing, O Organics line to make this classic favorite for your family.
Serve it up with some rice, and you have the perfect hot soup for sore throats and upset tummies! For me, rice is the ultimate comfort food, and served up with a hot bowl of homemade soup makes it even better!
Make sure you grab a couple of boxes of granola bars from the O Organics line too. These are perfect to snack on when you aren’t feeling well and require ZERO preparation (a must for sick days!).
Do you have special ways that you prep for the cold and flu season and save money at the same time? Share with us in the comments!
