I made a trip to Aldi today. I intended to go back to my old strategy of only ten items at a time -- especially now that being vaccinated is making me feel less fearful about getting out of the house more often -- but I ended up getting 17 items. They fit into two bags, which was kind of the idea, anyway. $39. Carrying groceries up three flights is one of my least favorite things to do.
I also made a stop at Home Depot and bought a specialty paintbrush so I can finish painting my radiator. That was $3.
