Simply Shoeboxes: Lots of Goodies for OCC Shoebox Stockpile Saturday ~ 2/25/2017

I decided to post our additions to our Operation Christmas Child shoebox stockpile a day early this week as I'm busy this evening and most of tomorrow at my church, so anything else I get this week will go on next week's post!

I stopped in Mighty Dollar to look for more of these foam puzzles-thankfully they still had some left in stock, and the clerk helpfully got me this box to carry them out in. I plan to split each one up into 6 different kits with instructions and put them in the 5-9 year olds shoeboxes I plan to pack with the kids at church.

I also got some of the model cars to compare quality to HotWheels. And some different options to try out for draw strings. Here are some of the photos comparing to a HotWheel we had. They weren't as bad as I thought. They weighed less than half as much, and didn't have as much detail, but it rolled well and seemed decently sturdy.

I got some more of Dollar Tree soap with coupons like last week, 2 printable coupons and one insert coupon.

I got a good deal on some really nice toothbrushes at CVS this week!

My sister's been finding some new looking stuffed animals at a local charity thrift store. Some still have tags on them. If you are interested you can read why we include a stuffed animal in each of our shoeboxes.

I hit Walgreen's 70% off Vday clearance and got these cute self-inking stamps! (note: if you got these, you might want to tape the lids on-as my sister was taking them out of packaging she noticed they were lose and was concerned about them staying moist/working until they arrived, so she added a bit of tape)
