The $20 Shopping Trip

Okay, so it was actually $23.38....

One thing that I hate the most about going on a quick shopping trip is when I actually NEED something. Today, this was the case. The internet is still down at my house so Wednesday's shopping outing did not produce my usual week's supply of everything I'd need. So today I set out with $20 to get me by until my next day in town.
