Shopping on Saturday

Eva, you wouldn't have liked it. The parking lot was full and the lines were long. I only planned on water but decided to do most of my shopping. I really didn't need much. I also wanted to get another sweater like the one I got last week that I wore yesterday for New Year's Day. I took the last two in my size. One tan, one white. So, I have black, white, and tan now. I need to go back on Monday. Surprise, surprise. They were out of my spices. I also need to figure out why my Healthy Food card didn't work. I just checked my account and the money is on the card. UnitedHealthcare decided to add a new perk for this year. They sent a Healthy Food card in the mail a week ago. They put $25 on the card the first of the month. Maybe I need to tell them the amount on the card for it to work. I know it's brand new, so the clerks might not know about it yet. If you don't use the $25 each month you lose it. It doesn't rollover. I don't mind having free food money every month. Their website also offers coupons. When I made sure the money was on the card, I saw what they had for coupons. Everything I don't eat, as usual. I'll check it again on Monday before I go shopping. They might have something I can use. It is healthy food after all. Now to clear up the notifications again and get to work on Vendetta. I won't be doing any more chores today. The vacuuming can wait. With everything I did already and the shopping, my back is screaming Uncle. How is your day going? Thanks for reading. The image, as usual, doesn't go with the post, belongs to me. Oh, it's also snowing, only flurries. It wasn't on the forecast, so I'm happy.

I have it because I have insurance and am 65 and older. It's a Medicare Advantage perk with UnitedHealthcare.

It does not surprise me it is a busy shopping day. Between a lot of people getting their social security checks and those stimulus checks... People are going to want to spend a bit.

I got both of mine too. I wanted to wait until Monday, but I would be out of water before then and I don't drink tap unless it's in my tea. I knew it would be busy. I'm glad I found a good parking space.

@porwest That's true. Monday morning everyone will be back to work so it should be better.

It will. I don't think the clerks were ready for it. She wanted to input it as a gift certificate, which it isn't. Now that I know the money is there, I'll make certain it works on Monday.

Too bad it was so busy. Maybe the card will work the next time you go out. Laundry day, just got done.

So did you had to stand in a queue for long? How did you manage? I think that they should allow rollover on your card. At times, it is difficult to use amounts on a card. If one has rollover, it could definitely help.

It's only $25 a month. I can use that easily in a month. Standing in line wasn't too bad. Longer than usual, but I expected that.

I dont like whats in that picture and I hate shopping Glad you got what you need. Hope you get that card figured out. It might be one that they have to slide instead of you doing it.

They tried to slide it. She put it as a gift certificate. I'll get it taken care of on Monday. Hopefully, by then they are aware of this card and it will be easier. I know you don't like the picture.

@wolfgirl569 They will. United Healthcare is a huge company. I'm sure many people have a card.

How does the Healthy Food card work? Sounds like it might be a good idea.

@just4him So can you use it to buy anything, or only certain items?

@Fleura Only food. It can't be used for baby food, since it's for people on Medicare.

It works the same as a debit/credit card. It's offered by my health insurance company to people on Medicare. It's a wonderful idea.

I love that photo! Three sweaters, very practical for these cold winter days. I wonder why that food card didn't work, that's disappointing. We got another two inches of snow, not a heavy storm.

@kobesbuddy No, they're not. I'm sure they will be by tomorrow. I'm sure I wasn't the only one trying and failing to use one.

@just4him They do this quite often with new cards. Stores aren't prepared for them.

You got a lot done considering lines make everything more chaotic. It reminds me of going to the post office two weeks ago. The line was literally out the door. I was like, oh I don't think so! I went back December 31st, and not a single person was in line. The Christmas rush was over!

That's good you got there when there weren't any lines. What I don't understand is why they didn't have every register open.

I need to go shopping either tomorrow or the day after that. Hopefully it's not crowded in the mall at all. Maybe I can go early to avoid the throng of shoppers.

My feet are yelling at me get meout of these shoes since I just got back from Walmart getting my brother his birthday present and a couple of other things.. I will be taking them off shortly and rubbing them with ache away essential oil blend which will help. Then I will check where I keep important thing for my healthy food card and the one for supplements so I will have them on me. I love this United Health Care plan with nothing for the most part coming out of pocket
