It’s that time of year again, cold and flu season! The days are getting shorter, the mornings are getting colder, and the sniffles are getting plentiful.

It’s time to nip cold and flu season in the bud. My goal is to stay ahead of the game and feed my body with all the good nutrients and loving care that it needs so it can fight the battle as the germs come. My kids, like all, are little germ magnets and by the time one gets sick, you are pretty sure the others will soon follow.

Many of you know, I’m a sucker for having nice hot, warming soup on the stove at all hours of the day, it’s so inviting and just warms the soul. Soup has other health benefits as well. When are you feeling under the weather, a nice hot bowl of soup helps soothe a sore throat or make a congested chest feel just a little better. My go-to get well soup is Thanksgiving Chicken Noodle Soup.

This is soup is so incredibly easy to make with O Organics® products, found at all Albertsons Companies family of stores. I am lucky enough to have an Albertsons AND a Safeway within walking distance of my house. I know when I shop Albertsons I will get the best products at the best prices. Buying organic has become very important to me over the years and I have become a major label reader. One of my younger sons is very sensitive to artificial food colors and knowing that I can shop for quality organic product without having to go to a specialty store or blow my budget is very important to me.

When my Thanksgiving Chicken Noodle Soup doesn’t have quite enough fighting power, I always make sure to have a few Signature Care™ products on hand…. these are also found exclusively at Albertsons and Safeway in the Pacific NW area, but you can find them at all Albertsons Companies family of stores, including ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets, Market Street, Albertsons Market and Carrs/Safeway. While shopping for groceries, I try to grab a product or two to have available in my medicine cabinet for those 2am coughs, congestion or body aches. The Signature Care products provide the same quality and relief that national name brands do but at a better value!!! This helps my family stay on budget. The Signature Care brand contains the same active ingredients and are held up to the same standards mandated by the FDA as all other national brands. PLUS, as an added bonus, they come with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back, you can’t get much better than that. While shopping you can find all Signature Care products in the pharmacy.
