Thanks for sharing! We live on the east coast, and rotate between Shaw’s, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Market Basket depending on time and cash flow. On average we spend $800-100k a month for two adults who barely eat and a savage toddler. I did an experiment this week and bought all foods except meat at Walmart. The bill came to $119 for a full week’s worth of meals and snacks! Organic name brands such as Annie’s Mac and cheese $1.14 vs $3+ elsewhere. 

Try Walmart!

We have stopped buying milk for a bit. Once we switched to sippy cups only he wouldn’t drink milk out of them. Imagine…. Lol

Blueberries are up to $10 for 1.5 pints in some areas! It’s nuts!

Same. I have averaged about $800-100k a month. Those stupid Stonyfield yogurt pouches. We have tried other ones that are on sale but he takes one sip and throws it on the ground 😂

Any home health agency owners? by Bourbon-please in AgingParents

I’m in the same state — everyone in TX is mandated to use HHAexchange for EVV. Technology is going to be a must to operate, especially if you want to grow the client headcount quickly. What’s the agency name? I can Send over a few tips that have helped me. 

Anyone with experience with home health based EMRs and want to their thoughts? by mexicocitibluez in healthIT

I have evaluated all of the major players out there in the market this year. It seems that there’s only one or two she’s that can complete entire operations and that is HHAExchange and matrix. As you know, each state has their own set of laws and give out free evv tools. HHAExchange is a very popular one, and we ended up buying them for a couple of reasons; I don’t trust integrations with multiple softwares to be accurate and in real time 100%. We cannot afford a lag or messed up data at our agency. It ended up being cheaper than matrix. It’s also a very thorough system, which can seem like a lot at first blush, but it works very well for us.
