Ok I ran to CVS on my lunch break because I needed new foundation. This is what my receipt looks like more or less.
Pantene 2N1 Ice (12 ounces)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 4.00
1 Axe Drk Temptations                          3.99
1 covergirl outlast                               7.00
I lilac purse size spray                           5.99
1 covergirl advnc                                10.49
I sensdyne pro                                     4.99
7% tax                                               2.56
                                                       39.02
THIRTY NINE dollars??? I bought a bottle Pantene shampoo/conditioner, a can of Axe body spray for Rick (love that chocolate temptations..yum!!), one tube of Cover Girl lip tint, 1 small spray .5 fl oz tube of Demeter Lilac perfume spray (yum Demeter…always yum!), 1 bottle of covergirl advanced agining foundation (I AM NOT ADVANCED AGING…or am I?), and 1 tube of sensodyne toothpaste. So two makeup items, 1 purse size perfume, toothpaste and sexy man spray costs $39.02.
What the hell? Ya know….what the hell?? Do not tell me I should have bought the $10 bottle of foundation and left the store. I already know. *sigh* However, I need clean hair, teeth and damn it I need to look pretty and smell pretty and my man needs to smell sexy too!!! Gah…I need to win the lottery, no?
At least there are the CVS BUCKS that you get like magic on your receipt every once in awhile! I comfort myself with the fact that the $10 foundation is still MUCH cheaper than the cosmetic counter makeup like MAC or Trish McEvoy (which I love!)
