It may just be Christmas 2011 right now, but I’ve already started on my Operation Christmas Child boxes for Christmas 2012!
Here are things that I purchased this year that I didn’t use. So I’m starting out with all this stuff but my beginning amount spent is $0 because all this was counted in the amount spent on last year’s boxes. So I would say that I’m off to a good start, right?
My plan is to do 6 boxes again with the hopes that maybe I can do more. We’ll just see how much stuff I end up with! Remember, the goal is $10 per box with $7 of that being shipping. So I can only actually spend $3 on everything that goes in the box. Really have to flex those frugal muscles!!!
I also cleaned out (it’s amazing what you can find when you clean out) and added these items to my stash:
Most of the items are party favor trinkets from goodie bags (I usually confiscate these before Bug sees them ;] ). There’s also a book I bought him at the dollar store that I forgot to give to him, so he’ll never miss it. An unused notepad that I have no idea where it came from (told you I was cleaning out!) and some coloring books from our class trip to the pumpkin patch. They gave me waaaaay more than I need for my class. So I decided to use the extras for OCC.
What is Operation Christmas Child? It’s a charity you can coupon towards! Read about how you can help here.
