Thanksgiving has came and went, and so comes the great American tradition of Black Friday. I used this national shopping frenzy as a great excuse to start buying things I need to bring with me on the trip, and got some pretty good deals. I scored some camping stuff (shower wipes, super strength bug repellant, a beach towel that fits in your pocket…) on sale, and got a bunch of culturally appropriate T-shirts (read: no logos or statements, high neckline and full cap sleeves) for $5 each at old navy. I picked up lots of health things like baby wipes and aloe vera gel at target AND got one of my perscriptions for only $4. Awesome.
I have now divided the CCS packing list into three sections: bought, have, and get, and the list is about four pages long. I’m hoping lots of the “gets” will be lovely early Christmas presents. I’m also planning to borrow whatever I reasonably can to keep costs down (who knew over the counter first aid kits were so expensive?!). I’ll try to hold off actually packing the suitcases until school ends next week, but I’m getting really excited!
20 days!!
