If you do the quick math… that’s $29.99! Also, you’ll note that we got MORE toothpaste – Katie, when you come visit, you’re welcome to take some tubes (but not my dog).
We’re contemplating doing a meat and produce run next week … but we’ll see!
Well, while toothpaste isn't quite an equal trade for Lucy...I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteI like your new goal! It'll be great to see how it affects your bounty, if at all.
