Monday. Wait, Tuesday.

I know, I know, I missed a day in there- but I had to escape the city for a weekend in MPLS. Lucky for me, I not only got to sleep, but I practically made money by visiting. Not only do things cost less when you stay with Mom and Dad, who want to make you food and pay for things, but things in Minneapolis cost WAY less than in New York.

As you saw from one of our previous posts, NP girls like fake eyelashes. Here in NY, they can be found for $5, but it’s more likely that the drugstore amps them up to around $7.50 per pair, just because they’re greedy. In MN, a pair is $3.50, no matter where you go. Not tough math to see that it would greatly benefit me to buy 10 (or 20) pairs at home and seriously save! Shampoo and lotion fall into the same category. I got a $16 shampoo for $5 at home.

Ok, full disclosure; I even bought 4 boxes of cereal. I had extra space in my suitcase, and again, they cost half as much as in NYC. May seem silly but it added up to about a $12 savings. That can buy me a shot or a cab ride in the city Gotta love going home.
