$142.65 Worth of 64 Items for $69.39!!!

This week went okay. I purchased a couple things that were not on my list so the cost was more than I had hoped. I think I did well overall. Everything in red is what I got for FREE. I am late posting this because one of the items was a birthday present for my sister-in-law so I didn't want her to see it early!
