Shoprite, CVS, Rite Aid 9/11

First of all, I want to start this blog by saying that I wish peace to those effected by September 11th.  It is hard to image that this tragic event occurred 10 years ago because it seems like it was just yesterday.  I recall being at the doctor office for bronchitis when everything happened.  The entire waiting room was glued to the television in shock.  Later that night, I went for a walk with my then boyfriend, and it was somewhat of a walk appreciating what we had and taking in the moment knowing that we were alive and mourning for the losses our country incurred.

I would love to hear your story.  Please post a comment and tell me yours. Rest in Peace to those killed 10 years ago today.

Moving on to the shopping trip.  Today was an excellent day.  I purchased many high value items. We'll start with... Rite Aid and CVS!
