    FYI: I found  40 watt LED light bulbs at Grocery Outlet 4 bulbs/$7.99. They seem brighter than 40 watts, too. Good deal!

    Last day of the challenge my friends! The lady at Walgreens gave me the "you are a weirdo" look when I requested no bag please. Then I had to explain the challenge...but honestly I would have said it even if I wasn't doing a challenge. Cashiers are surprisingly really insistent about giving you a plastic bag.
