I found a dime in the parking lot so I ended up with a penny overage :O)
I’ve decided when I find coins in the parking lot while shopping for this challenge, I’m putting them in the pot in honor of my father (see why here)
Tonight I bought a total of $23.82 worth of stuff before taxes
My total OOP was ZERO with a total overage of $.12
Here’s where I stand with my $12 Challenge after tonight’s transactions:
Total purchases so far before tax is $162.11
Total OOP so far including tax is $3.98
I still have $8.02 cash plus $3.00 ExtraBucks for CVS, so I have $11.02 total left to spend!
