Cheap Thrills at No Frills

I’ve been waiting with great anticipation for the No Frills at 132nd and Center to open.  Wouldn’t you know it?  This week, for its grand opening, I’m out of commission.  Sick with an unyielding case of nasty bronchitis that has me down for the fourth day in a row.

However, I can tell from the paper ads, the TV ads, and the competition’s stepped-up advertising, this is gonna be great!  This week alone (if you’re able to take advantage of it), there are excellent deals AND chances to win free groceries.

With Aldi right across the street, I expect excellent grocery shopping in the coming weeks and months.  Bag N Save down the street has lost one of its good managers to this No Frills.  The only drawback I see is the ongoing construction and continued reno going on at the center.  The “Baker Square” sign was down Tuesday; I’m wondering what’s going up in its place.

If you’ve been healthy enough to visit the Grand Opening of this No Frills, please let us know!  I will report next week, when I return to the real world.

I hate being sick.  I’m missing work and putting my bosses in a bind.  I’m unable to take care of the family so DH has to take sick days to do my job (totally allowed).  And it hurts to cough, breathe and talk.  Healing is underway, though, and that’s the blessing.  Till next time!
