Yesterday's purchases.

#1- Went to the local Ocean State Job Lot. They have a program where you buy a $40 coat and donate it back to the store to give to a veteran. They then give you a $40 gift card to use in the store. So we donated the coat and we have the $40 card we are going to use on toys this weekend.

#2. I saw a little one on one on these pedal-less balance bikes. SO we bought 2 and a puzzle toy for a toddler.

These are Toys 201 thru 203 and we have spent $945

jlzinck · 10-29-2023, 09:31 AM

Items 204 thru 209. Went $9 over the $40 gift card we had from the coat donation. Spent $954 now
