What can you buy for a quarter these days?

A LOT! I went to Kmart yesterday and bought a Sassy brand crib mirror, a pack of 3 Bright Beginnings stroller toys, 1 pair of panties, 1 pair of socks, 22 packs of 24 crayola crayons. The cashier said I was the smartest shopper she has ever seen. I expected the crib mirror and the stroller toys to be $30 alone. They happened to be on a hidden clearance where the prices were not marked. The panties and socks were on clearance for .25 each and the crayons were on sale for .20 each. I had 2 reward dollars, one for $10 and the other for $5. Part of the tax was taken off, so the amount I paid out of pocket was only 25 cents. I quickly whipped out my credit card for that "bank breaking" balance lol.

My next trip was to Publix where I bought a $50 Shell gas card, 16 32oz powerade drinks, 2 tubs of Philadelphia brand cream cheese, 20 packs of organic juice boxes, 1 bag of Rico rice, 6 boxes of Mueller's pasta, 8 boxes of pop-tarts, 2 boxes of 100 calorie packs, and 2 boxes of fruit snacks. I am sure I am forgetting something. I paid $51.80. I have to send the receipt to the Keebler Elves for my $10 rebate. So, the price paid will actually be $41.80 for all of those groceries plus the $50 gas card!
