First, I just want to note, that I didn’t do all 7 transactions at once! I live right by my Rite-Aid, so I broke the 7 transactions up over a two-day span. Also, yes, it is a lot of sunblock, but my husband is in the Navy, so we’ll be living near the beach for awhile, plus, I’m a firm believer that you can never put too much sunblock on a three-year-old! Also, I didn’t include tax on any of my OOP costs, however, all the sunblock was tax-free for “Hurricane Preparedness Tax Free Week”

A bunch of the Goldfish crackers aren’t pictured, and I realized after I took the pic. that the 2 bottles of Jergens Natural Glow aren’t in it.
Okay, here we go!
