Hey guys...always great videos. After several months of looking, I found a home in Marsh Bend...walking distance to "Edna's on the Green." Settlement date is December 6th. I'll be down this upcoming week for a home inspection. Thanks for all your information you provide. Saying good bye to southern New Jersey!
Yeah Portillo's! The Portillo's restaurants in the Chicago area drive thru lanes no longer accept cash for payment...only credit or debit cards. If you want to pay with cash, you have to go inside to pay.
How about a group of grocery store visits and produce markets showing different prices and quality of foods. Are there butchers at most stores for custom meat and fish? Have a sweet week end.
I’m here in Las Vegas watching both of you, as I did last month, when you did your August “did you know”-awesome job-We have a lady who does, somewhat, the same thing, here. By the way, having been to Chicago a few times, I think a Chicago hot dog-(however you have it)-is better than any New York hot dog-and I was born there, and have shared residence, with, here in Vegas, for the past 34 years. Keep up the great work, my mother’s niece, and her husband, live in the Villages, and we have told them about your blogs.
Love Sawgrass “square lite”. Went to pga superstore in Orlando, wasn’t really impressed but alot of people will like it. Now Portillo’s is another story. Another great video
I hear you Stan the Man. Hot Dogs are good but the beef sandwich is sort of the draw. For a full size guy like me, half a sandwich used to be enough. Much smaller now. They still taste good and Florida will enjoy them. They still have huge backups in the drive up lines in Indiana and Illinois. @@njstan8188
Are there many grocers that sell organic foods? I know Sprouts does, but I am not familiar with the other grocery stores in the Villages such as Publix, for example. On that note, are there water stores 24/7? I like to buy my filtered water by the galllon that offer outside water dispensers for your convenience after hours.
Hi KM! Sprouts is pretty much the only chain. Publix, like most grocery stores offers a few organic options. Publix is like Jewel or Albertsons depending on where you are from. I don’t recall seeing any water dispensers. If any of our viewers have, or use them, hopefully they will chime in here. Thank you for watching!
Hello ladies, thank you for another great video. I was wondering if you would be interested in getting some info for us. I like to look in the Villages Home finder. I think that's what its called. Its all the homes for sale by the Villages. Any was what I was looking to find out is what certain things mean on the sight. For instance they post a home for sale and then on the top left hand corner it says "Certified", what does that mean. Also by watching other youtubers from the villages I found out some homes are sold with all the furniture, home items as part of the sale, that being said the youtuber who mentioned this said he bought the house "Turn-Key" which he said meant, the house came with everything in it. My question with that is the listings say "Turn-Key" but they also say "Furnished". Do both terms mean that same thing, all items in the house are included in the sale. I looked to see if the site explained these terms but I can't find anything. Thank you for any help.
Hi Sonia! Thanks for the kind words! I have reached out to a friend who is a realtor with TV and I will follow up here again when I hear back. I have my ideas of what they mean, but I want to get you accurate information! When you see turn-key it can mean a couple of things. Basically it should be coming furnished and possibly dishes, glasses etc. Something where you can just bring your clothes and move in. Jan had a not so great experience with both homes she has purchased here. They felt certain items were to be included but upon moving in they found they weren’t there. Best advice would be to get everything in writing. Hope some of this helps and I will get back to you about certified! Thanks for watching!
Did you know you have a very informative show on the Villages! Look forward to your show every FRIDAY
Thank you Frank!
Great job Ladies! Thanks for all the information on TV
Thank you Jane for watching!
Thank you again! Getting so excited for my upcoming visit! I always learn something new from your videos, even with all the research I've been doing.
Thank you for always watching!
Yea! Portillo's is coming. Have you ever had their chocolate cake? It's to die for. It's a Chicago thing!
YES! YES! YES!

Interesting!
They are putting Portillo’s all over the DFW area and they always have a line. We’ll have to go give them a try now that I know what it is.
Truly awesome! Love their hot dogs, beer sandwiches and the chopped salad! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the suggestion Frank! Yes, most do have a fresh butcher shop. Thank you for watching!
Great video Jan and Deb, you two are always very informative. Thanks for all that you do❤.~Dana
Thanks Dana! Have a great weekend!
Jan...no ketchup on your Portillo's hot dog 🌭...only mustard, relish, tomato slice & pickle. I skip the sport peppers & onions. 😂
Haha! Technically yes…but…I am an awful Chicago girl. Always ketchup! 🤣🤣

Lol! Thank you for watching NJ!
Portillos portions have gotten smaller since they became a public traded company.
@@davidsimmons2871 totally agree!
@davidsimmons2871 it's OK to me 2 hot dogs is all I can eat

Do you know the opening date for Portellos? Spelling I don’t know because I’m from DC and never heard of this place. We lives a good hot dog
We don’t yet! They are having a meeting this week to firm up the plans. I know a lot of us can’t wait!!! Thanks for watching!

Hello! My realtor said that the seller has purchased a one year warranty on the home. 😄
Maybe I’ve missed it, but do you two have grandchildren?
Yes, we both do 😊
