$95.21 of stuff for $2.36 +tax

I made my second trip to Walgreen's last night. I repeated some of my previous deals (laundry detergent and razors) and also got some needed cereal and gum.

I did the math today, and I am feeling very proud/excited/justified by what I discovered.

~I bought $95.21 of products (technically closer to $100 because the regular price for the Scotch tapes were about $3.50 each).
~I paid only $7.93 OOP.
~Of that, $5.57 was tax.
~Meaning, I only paid $2.36.
~That's only 2.48% of the total value.

That's like buying this Ferrari F430 for $5,509.57.
(Actual value $222,160)

Here is the breakdown of my purchases:

I want to see your list but it is too small and I can't click and make it bigger, will you email it to me or something? Thanks!!

Way to go! If you keep shopping like that, you'll probably save enough money to buy a Ferrari at full price - lol. :)
