I went on three shopping trips to CVS this month. All items purchased are shown in one picture but each week's transaction is shown below. I spent a total of $6.07 for $36.14 worth of stuff. I would have spent less out of pocket, but I forgot my extra bucks on one of the days and didn't really feel like going home to get them.
So far, since I've started this experiment, I have spent $23.19 for $82.25 worth of merchandise. About $5 of what I spent is tax. Go here to see my CVS journey from the beginning.
