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.The Breakdown:
- Two Stores
- Dollar Tree (Muscle Shoals)
- Publix (Florence)
- Total spent:$23.38
- Total saved: $13.22
- Number of items: 18
- Average cost per item, combined: $1.30
- Average cost per item, Dollar Tree only: $0.81
- Average cost per item, Publix only: $1.91
