Barely, it feels.
I just wanted to check in and let you know I haven’t forgotten about Frugal in Virginia. Salmonella food poisoning has wrecked absolute havoc on me though, and I have yet to recover. Each time I think I’m on the mend, I get sick again. I will resume posting very soon with the top deals. Should be any day now that I turn a corner.
Would you like to hear something kind of humorous though? So here I am sick with food poisoning for almost a week at this point. My husband also had it but is feeling better. He has to go back to work today. Oh, and this food poisoning came from a party I threw for about 20 moms and family members at my house. (It was catered food, not my own, that got people sick, thank goodness!) Did I mention I have a 2 week old baby and a toddler to care for?
Okay, so here’s the real kicker. Things seem pretty bad, right?
I decided to drink some Gatorade this weekend, hoping it would help re-hydrate me. I hadn’t drank Gatorade in at least ten or fiften years, and probably only drank it once or twice in my life.
I’m allergic to Gatorade.
My lips started to feel like I had been injected with novacaine and before I knew it, I looked like a very sick Angelina Jolie. So if I ever want my lips plumped, there’s no need for Botox or anything expensive. I’ll just drink 8 oz of Gatorade. There’s a frugal living tip for those of you also allergic to Gatorade too.
I hope to be back soon with some hot deals at KMart and Target, as well as the weekly coupon matchups for CVS and Kroger! Stay tuned.

WOW!!!! I am sooooo sorry! I hope you’re feeling better soon!
I’m so sorry about the Gatorade. At least it gives you something to laugh at. Something frugal has come out of this for us too, eating out. It’s going to be a long time before I eat out again. Saves the budget. There’s the positive. :-)
I’m on the mend today—so if there is ANYTHING you need, don’t hesitate to call.
So sorry you’ve been so sick. I hope you are on the mend and back to normal soon.

Ack! Hope you’re feeling stronger, but when you’re up to it, just know that you can patent a new/cheaper Botox!
I didn’t know people could be allergic to Gatorade!! What’s in it that causes an allergic reaction? I sure hope you feel better soon!
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been sick, but definitely glad to hear that you’re feeling better! On a side note, I think I’m very glad I missed your party! ;) Hope to see you soon!
I got food poisoning on our first anniversary trip. I’ve never been so sick in my life. I don’t ever want to repeat that! Hope you are feeling better soon! :-)

So sorry that you are feeling so sick. I can’t even imagine with the kiddos how you are doing it. I am glad that you are able to find something to smile about. I hope that you feel better soon. Good luck!
Bless your heart, I had that when I was pregnant with Ally my daughter and it was awful…
I pray for quick healing for you, your husband, and guests. Poor thing, I pray for God to give you quick strength to get back on track, your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care, Hugs,

That catering company isn’t going to get any repeat business from your group of Moms and family members. Stay away from the Gatorade. Feel better soon.
Feel better soon!
