We didn't get any shopping done in the past week, but that doesn't mean our stockpile didn't grow! Thanks to my aunts, it actually grew quite a bit! :) First, the aunt who packs with us came for a visit with a stash she'd built up of packing items.
Then I got a box from my other aunt who had called when she found a deal on flip-flops to see if/what kind/how many we needed. She and my great aunt cut off all the extra packaging, and got them all ready for us to pack!
Finally, I asked a friend if she had any leftover bags from the VBS she was running if I could have them for shoeboxes-she brought me the few that were left. Then she asked if I had any use for lanyards as they had more of those left. I said I sure could use them-I have whistles to hang on them if nothing else! Such colorful and practical items!
Spent from shoebox packing budget: $0
