I'm sure everyone else is probably just about done shopping for their OCC shoe boxes, but I thought I'd pass this along anyway.

If you've had trouble finding cheap children's toothbrushes.... I was in Aldi today and noticed the children's Firefly toothbrush had a "new lower price", they're now only 49-cents each! (previously .99 each) The Firefly toothbrush is the one where you press the bottom of the toothbrush and it lights up. The blinking light lasts 1-minute to help children know how long they should brush their teeth. I know you can find cheaper adult toothbrushes at dollar stores, but for the small children (2-4yrs old) I like to get children's toothbrushes for their little mouths. I can't always find cheap children's toothbrushes at the dollar stores, so I thought I'd post this incase anyone else has this same problem.

Also, I found three 6-pks of FOTL girls briefs (size 4 & size 10) at WM marked down on clearance for $1.50 a pack. Plus, I had a FOTL $1/2 coupon that I used, so I ended up getting all 3 packs for $3.50 (plus tax). The package is blue & green with green stars on the blue background and there's a cartoon girl (blonde hair w/pig tails) who's wearing a green shirt with a blue star on it.

BTW, if you'd like to include fingernail clippers in your OCC shoe boxes for the older kids (10-14yr old), Dollar Tree has a 2-pk 'Trim' brand for $1. (There's always room to sqeeze in a pair of fingernail clippers. LOL)

Good job, MsMiser!! The shopping goes on year-round doesn't it?

I read on Samaritan's Purse website that one gal has done 6000 boxes. Yes, 6000! I don't know if she did it all herself or not, but it is an inspiring story.

I started wrapping my boxes yesterday. I need to remember to buy more paper after Christmas.
