Transaction #2:
Swiffer Duster Starter Kit $6.99
Swiffer Starter Kit $7.99

I’m going to save money in the future because of this purchase. I have a HUGE, oversized Swiffer now, and the pads for it are much more expensive than the ones for this one will be. I would use 1 pad each time I sweep, so why use the more expensive ones?
I’m also going to list the CG foundation (along with another CG foundation and a pressed powder) on eBay just for kicks. If I can make $1.80 on that, I’ll break even on what I paid today (including tax).
