How Would You Spend $5?

I was reading on another blog about a $5 drug store challenge. So, I thought about it and decided to see what I would get (if my stores had everything in stock) for just $5 at each store... for a total of $15 OOP

If you'd like to take the challenge, reply to the post about how you spent $5!
