sunday shopping 10-24-10

I've been offline all weekend as I am desperately trying to finish repainting our master bedroom.  (No small task with two little ones constantly underfoot--Trouble seems to be drawn like a magnet to wet paint!)  With hours left of painting yet to complete, I almost skipped my Sunday shopping altogether, but then I ran out of paint.  The CVS ad wasn't thrilling me this week but Walgreens is right on the way to Home Depot.  I figured I would just pop in for a few things.

Here is what I got:

At Walgreens I spent $9.97 for $85.39 worth of merchandise, a savings of 88%.
