The thing is... I have really good intentions...
Yesterday I went to Walgreens to pick up a prescription. I needed a pregnancy test (not, unfortunately, because I thought there was any chance I was pregnant, but because I had to be 100% sure before I started this medicine). Well I thought I'm not going to spend $10 on the cheapest one at Walgreens, I'll just run to the Dollar Store.
So I headed to the Dollar Store. I let the girls each pick up a thing of stickers ($2) and I picked up some glitter for art projects ($1) and I was headed to get a pregnancy test ($1) - I was so excited, I was getting all those things for less than the pregnancy test at Walgreens. But they were out of pregnancy tests. So I thought, well Target is the closest place and they have Clearblue Easy Digital tests cheaper than anyone (sad, that I know this). I bet some of you know where this is headed...
So I headed to Target to buy the two-pack of pregnancy tests for $8, slightly better than Walgreens. But then the girls asked if they could have stickers (since I got nothing at the Dollar Store). I said okay ($4) and glitter ($4) and then I saw the cuuuutest paper plates and napkins for Sophia's birthday party next month ($15) and picked up a 12-pack of Cokes for Davis ($5). So $38 later, I got a pregnancy test.
Sheesh. (not to mention having the prescription called in to the Walgreens near my house only to waste gas driving all over town)
Anyone else do this?

That sounds exactly like something I would do!! :)
You are definitely not alone...I do this too. Run in a store for 1 item and come out with 10!
Oh I am so definitely guilty of that!!!!
Sounds like me (unfortunately). I'm trying to do better.
Sadly, yes...I can't walk into Wal-Mart without spending at least $100. How does this happen?
