CVS Trip from Saturday: Results!!!

$12.44 oop
$55.12 saved

I would have spent WAY less oop, but Michael just HAD to have the 4 (12pk) Pepsi for $12!! That totally threw my scenarios for a loop at the last minute!!!
So:
$12.44 oop
-$12 (for pepsi)
= $0.44 give or take (tax).

See! Would have been MUCH better!
