Back to School Sales Shopping for OCC Shoebox Stockpile Saturday ~ 8/26/2017

I had a pretty good week shopping for items to add to my stockpile for Operation Christmas Child shoebox packing...it's getting close to time to start packing!!

This soap was a great deal!  Free after coupons and rewards at CVS (you can check out details of that trip & learn more about saving money at my other blog Simply CVS)

Had a pretty good trip to Office Depot.  The pencil cases are so cute!  I switched trays on a couple of the slider pencil cases I bought, thought it looked cuter that way!  I used rewards from previous purchases, so it didn't take any money out of pocket, you can learn more here.

Dollar General was having 50% off some clearance, so I got some fun stuff.  I'd seen the jumbo pencils in the clearance section, just waiting for them to have this deal...my sister helped me find even more!!  Plus some colored pens which I especially like to include in my 10-14 year old girl boxes.

A local thrift store had some fun finds: cute battery operated train, UV sunglasses, and collapsible Frisbees (they fold up to fit in the little packets you see on top).


Spent from shoebox packing budget: $24.07

Office Depot Rewards spent: $6.32
