I contnue to love your challenge! I encourage all to start off with $5 at the drugstores and see how quickly they begin a little stockpile. Great for college students!
I feel a little behind and overwhelmed at the same time. I didn’t know that there were so many different ways to save at places like Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens. I feel like I have been missing the boat the that past years.
