I was short 4 Beanz, so I Walgreens and bought a few (15) more packages.

keep in mind I only needed 4 Beanz!

• Packages bought to date: 41
• Total Mighty Beanz acquired: 405
• Amount spent: $26.05
• Beanz needed before today's set: 4
• Beanz acquired from today's set: 2
• Beanz still needed: 2! Freakin' 2!
• What these things are good for: I still have no idea ...

Someone should probably do an intervention.
