Okay, so I came REALLY close to my $100 challenge!   A couple things accidentally fell in my cart – this being one of them!

I don't like canoli, but this is a treat for Tony!

I also bought two pommegranites for $3 – turns out Hannah loves pom seeds!  And she bought some chocolate chips to make cookies for a couple of her teachers.  That being said . . .  drum roll please. . .
