Oh yeah. When we did our taxes this year, we were pretty amazed at how much we had actually spent on Sandy. It didn't seem like all THAT much at the time (vet bills excluded!) -- but it's just too much fun when you find that "perfect" item, and I'm always a deal hunter, so that should count, right?
Maybe we'll skip the doggie section next year, with two dogs, that's gonna be a much bigger number
