Gleanings from this Trip:
I needed to check my first aid stock while I was cleaning out the pantry! We suddenly ran out of band aids, and I did not know this until we were at Target! My children told me we needed band aids. Target was our last stop until next week, so I purchased the cheapest they had! I am sure there may have been better deals somewhere else, but I really did not have time or energy to stop anywhere else!
I am also giving the cereal to 2nd Harvest Food Bank. You can find more details on How to Help 2nd Harvest in an earlier post.
