I went to the All About Kids consignment sale and had HUGE success! I kept finding things that I’ve been wanting and needing for way less than I expected to pay for them. When I got to the register, I realized I hadn’t kept a running total in my head and therefore had no idea what the cost was going to be. Well, it was definitely more than I’d planned on spending, but it was totally worth it! And to prove it to myself, I’m looking up original prices of items and comparing them to what I paid. So…here goes!

Oh, and my advice, always, ALWAYS keep a running total of what you’re going to owe.
