    8 $x.xx
    Total for all eight items $xx.xx
  2. The person closest to the actual total price for these eight items, without going over wins! You can be over on the individual item prices as long as you don't go over the total price.

I love reading your posts on Alaska. I have always wondered what it was like to live there. Thanks for the insight. I remember you mentioned TP being very expensive so I'm gonna make a guess on your grocery bill..here goes!
1. 12.00
2. 60.00 (this one is expensive everywhere so I bet it's outrageous where you are)
3. 30.00
4. 15.00
5. 10.00
6. 6.00
7. 7.00
8. 7.00
Total for all eight items: $147.00

oh my..just adding that up gives me heart palpitations. I remember being in Hawaii and buying milk. It was almost $5.00 a gallon there and on the rise.

LOL, no guesses here (I think Gramma 2 Many has the right idea) I just know my Pepsi habit would be DRASTICALLY cut. :-P I complain about paying $4 for a 12 pack and stock up when it's on sale.
