Wal-mart-Washcloths

I always include a wash cloth in each box.

And today I found these at wal-mart.

8 pack of washcloths for $2.97.

And I loved that they were dark colors.

This is something my mom instilled in me;)

To never buy white cloths for my boxes, darker colors don't look dirty so fast.

Under $10.00 boxes. 10-14 boy

This is the first year I am collecting supplies all year around.
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.

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.

Wash Cloths

Wash cloths are a staple in my boxes.  So I'm always on the look out.  Dollarama always has them 2 for $1.00 but I'm always looking to stretch my dollar as far as it will go.  I found these at Giant Tiger.  They were 3 for $1.00.  And the quality is about the same as the Dollarama ones.

We are lucky enough to live close to the border.  So we hit Target and Walmart down there a few times a year.  These I found at Walmart in the States.  And they were 18 for $4.00.  That's the best price I've found yet.  That comes out to .22 cents per cloth.

Anyone else found good deals of wash cloths?
