Total OOP is $10.93 (My goal is to spend only $10 per week a CVS) But I have a friend having a baby and CVS is having a sale on the baby stuff. I am very close ($11) to getting $5 back in baby stuff. I might try to make it work with spending no more than $1.50. This goes over my $10 budget but I would have spent way more just making her a gift bag of stuff.

edit: I just added it up and it is 0ver $100 worth of stuff. I am going to have to start taking photos of this stuff.
