And I must say that enjoy the hunt of finding a good bargain.
It's amazing what God puts in our path.
I decided to do a 10-14 boys box first.
I do believe that 10-14 boxes are the least amount packed world wide.
And in my mind I always thought they were hard to pack for.
But after hearing that they receive the least amount of boxes I was determined to pack more for them.
I have enjoyed looking for ideas online.
The Operation Christmas Child facebook page has great ideas, as does Clip with a Purpose.
So here's what I've come up with for my first box under $10.00
And I have found they are not that to fill;)
Multipurpose tool $2.00 - Dollarama
Water bottle .05 cents - New from a garage sale.
Bungee cords .50 cents - Dollarama.- pack of 4 for $1.00 divided between 2 boxes.
Truck- not sure where it came from. Has been sitting in my boys room, never played with.
Underwear .60 cents -Walmart- package of 5 for $3.00 (this was a great sale back in April)
T-shirt $1.94 Superstore - summer clearance.
Marbles $1.00- Dollarama
Stuffed animal - .25 cents - New from a thrift store.
Pencil case - $1.00 - Dollarama
Notebook - .06 cents. Staples Pack of 4 for .25 cents.
30 sheets of loose leaf. .04 cents. Superstore. A pack of 150 sheets divided 5 ways.

Grand Total $9.83
Although I just noticed I did not include a comb.
This is a staple in my boxes.
I usually buy a package of 8 from Dollarama for $1.00
So add .12 cents to my total.
And candy I will add from my boys stash of halloween candy.
Which age and gender would you like to see next?
