BackPack Challenge

[Rika]

Kudos to everyone making backpacks for the homeless HURRAY FOR EDMONTON AND AREA SMART CANUKS... last year the best price I found was $2 a backpack in sherwood park Dollorama .... if anyone in sherwood park can check to see if they have them this year it would be awesome. still looking for that part of it for my donations too.... I have also considered sewing up sacks if backpacks cant be found in time

I went to staples today and they did have their backpacks (CCM & others) for 50% lowest ticketed price. I got one for $4.50.

Bianca Amor's has a flyer out this week. Thermal fleece gloves $1 per pair, men's thermal socks $2 pair, crew socks $8/dozen pair, work socks $6/3 pair.

They usually have cheap toques and scarves as well.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I'll try to check it out today. -let you know if I find anything.

Aisle 6 or 7 has the socks. It's the ONE aisle I missed going there yesterday because my two year old was insistent on pulling the shopping basket and that aisle was full of boxes. I didn't realize it until I was at the checkout that it was the aisle with socks. Though, if there were lots of boxes in the aisle then it means there's lots of stock

Aw nuts that's kind of far for me.

Everyone talking about this is pumping me up, though, lol. I think I might just do a whole backpack! Hopefully I can find good deals.

hi,
I have few huggies diapers and 3 toothpaste extras at home if it works...

[Blk_rose]

Everything is welcome. I have decided to give a bit more then just backpacks as they are in desperate need for so much and every little bit helps so many families that live in extreme poverty

Hi Blkrose - I have started to collect some things to donate for your backpacks - can I meet you somewhere to drop off when I'm done?

[Blk_rose]

Absolutely..If you let me know ahead a couple days I can let you know when I will be in what part of the city as I live in millwoods but travel to west daily and north weekly.

thank you so much for your contribution yogagirl!
