I bought the following stuff at various places
25. milk (reduced priced) - $2.19 ( the reduced price milk at fruth lasts for weeks after the expiration date
26. Strawberry Syrup - a big no no for me!
27. nutella - $3.00 - I have always wanted to try this and when I saw it at Big Lots for $3.00 I had to get it. It's good but I couldn't see putting it on toast so I baked chocolate fudge cupcakes (mix) and put the nutella on top of it. I took the cupcakes to Fruth yesterday for the 4th. and everyone loved them
28. shower brush - $3.00
29. Very large bottle of Pantene Conditioner - $6.00 - I got twice as much for half the price I would have paid at Fruth with my employee discount

33. Olay Ribbons - 5.00 - again I got twice as much as I would have gotten at Fruth with my employee discount for the same money

35. 30 feet of rope - I am making fattycatty an escape rope, in case there is a fire and I have to lower her 9 floors to the ground. I have 3 ropes tied together now. I need about 2 more.
