My Vitamin Shopping Trip to Meijer

It is time to get healthy again. Last June I joined a weight loss group at work and lost almost 25lbs. I stopped eating beef, then I stopped eating poultry. I endulged myself with an occaional BLT, but now bacon has been banned too. I allow myself fish or seafood, but that's so I can eat at Red Lobster!

On September 30th I got laid off from my job at a community college. I kept up my exercise routine, even walking in a 5K and doing WII Fit, but eventually I stopped doing that as well.

Like everyone else, I had a New Years Resolution not to loose weight,  but to start "Getting Healthy!" I know because of my age and the fact that I no longer eat meat, I need to supplement my diet.

I used to work at Meijer Pharmacy, so I knew they had a cool website where I could take a survey to see what vitamins best suited my age and lifestyle. http://www.meijer.com/content/content.jsp?pageName=vitamin_finder. The survey was easy to take and gave me the answers I needed to begin my vitamin shopping trip. I had also noticed a 40% off sale on Meijer vitamins in the Sunday morning  adds this morning, so I was ready to shop!

I really didn't want to go as it is unseasonally cold and snowy/sleaty/rainy here in Michigan today, but I knew once I got out I would feel better.  and started on my way.

The vitamin aisle was busy, but I knew pretty much exactly what I needed, so I didn't think it would take long. I was wrong! Between my list of what I needed, the mental note of what I already had at home, the "Buy 3 Get One Free" coupon,  and the 40% off "letter" vitamins was enough to make me loony.

I ended up buying  the basics: Calcuim, Vitamin C, and the Vitamin B12 that I have heard so much about. I got some great deals, and was very happy with my purchases.
