    That is amazing! Good for you! Here it costs 12 dollars for a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread and a pound of sandwhich meat. I am amazed by what you got for the price you paid! Congratulations!

    You did great! When I have a good trip, I like to count up my items and divide that number into the price. If you counted your 10 limes as 1 purchase, that makes 16 items purchased. 16 into 20.57 comes to approximately $1.28 for each item. Doesn't that sound awesome, especially for the kielbasa, chicken, and TP?

    Good shopping job! I loved reading it!!

    BTW though, what are you going to do with all those limes?...lol
