This post is a little late and the picture a little incomplete (still making extra bags at the last minute since the shelters had overflow during the weekend). But there are about 70+ bags in those boxes (double stacked). They were delivered to 2 different women shelters in downtown Toronto, on Thanksgiving Day.
Each bag contains:
2x90gr Dove soap
Satin Care shaving gel + razor
Stayfree pads
Dove travel size anti-perspirant
Colgate/ Arm & Hammer toothpaste
Herbal Essence/ Dove shampoo
Life Brand Body Lotion
Glade Scented Candle
(and in case you wonder, I NEVER cleaned the shelves - just did a lot of trips, max. 4 candles at a time! And No, I am not into any of these smelly things, so none for me)
I was able to keep the cost down through the generosity of many who shared their precious coupons and traded with me. Tray & Macsfight donated their precious Dove $3 WUB2 coupons - all of which went to the free Dove soaps + anti perspirant; Lizurban & Giving_small gave many of the Dove shampoo, Colgate and A&H toothpaste coupons. Also many, many others who sent me the $2 Satin Care and HE $1 and BOGO.
THANK YOU!

Time spent chasing deals - 8 months
Money spent on stamps for trades - $25
Total cost per bag - $3.75
Seeing the smiles on the women faces - PRICELESS
To pay it all, I used Hubby's Mastercard!This thread is currently associated with: N/ALast edited by Tripsplanner; Mon, Oct 26th, 2009 at 02:10 PM.
