Shopping Trip Review

This isn't much of a shopping trip, considering I only went to three stores, but when you only have one car and your husband takes it everyday for work...anytime that I'm out of the house qualifies as a shopping trip.

I am doing a personal charity challenge where I donate 10% of my total savings...whether that be in the form of a monetary donation or a product donation.  I'm keeping a running count of my charity contributions, since I might not get a chance to make a donation every week.  It's just another way that I'm determined to give back - 10% is not a lot at all, but it adds up quickly.

Keep an eye out for an addition to my sidebar with my current charity challenge pot!
