Default Ever Wonder What $10 Looks Like?


I thought I should share one of the few trips I've taken a picture of when I got home. Total cost out of pocket $11.46. You can read more on my blog or the Flickr page where the picture is posted.

This is a lot of stuff for less than $12 bucks . Did you use discount coupons or something like that?

That is a lot of lotion and gum hehe. Nice work, that must have taken some very creative coupon-ing and deal-hunting!

I'm slowly starting to get involved with the CVS game. I bought just a few things yesterday and am amazed at how little I spent. I'm trying to only buy things I absolutely will use, not just because they give ECBs, but it's so tempting!

That would be the reusable shopping bag from Shaws ($1 each with a nice plastic bottom insert). Its the scene where Nelson is telling Bart to say global warming is a lie. My mom bought it for me as an Earth Day gift.
