26 Days and counting

Having survived Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Holiday traffic etc, I bravely ventured into WalMart today. I had a short list of mainly toiletries that needed to be replenished yet I managed to ring out at a whopping $204! I had no idea what to get John this year so I'm going to try an electric razor (I'm pretty sure he's going to hate it and I will wind up bringing it back when I get home from NZ, but it has a 45 day money-back guarantee). I also bought a case of disposable diapers for the family my club adopted. Now, when Debbie was a baby Pampers were first introduced. I tried them but decided that the price was exorbitant...79cents/DOZEN Imagine my surprise that the box of diapers I bought today cost $25.00/84. That's an increase of 26.2 cents each or about 500%. I looked at gifts for the family my office is sponsoring but I think I will let someone else do the shopping...I know Kristin loves to shop and Marie is great at finding bargains. I have enough on my plate.
