Care Bags: Part 2 (129/365)

A continuation of Care Bags: Part 1.

My bestie and I were supposed to go to Disneyland a few days ago.  But we opted to spend the day shopping for items for our Care Bags project instead.  :)

For our first "mini haul," we decided to grab enough items to make 10 bags determine three things:

1. how much each bag would roughly cost us
2. how well we could cover the basics
3. how well everything would fit in our bags

Whoo!  All of our bags are finished!  :)  The ones with the blue ribbon are for females.

All of our bags follow the same foundation, which includes:

1. granola bars, 1
2. mints, 4
3. Werther's hard caramels (my Bestie insisted ), 1
4. Dum-Dum pops, 2
5. Slim Jim, 1
6. Chiclets, 1 (these were the fruity ones... I meant to grab the mint ones but got these by accident)
7. raisins, 1
8. tea bag, 2
9. apple sauce, 1
10. crackers (cheese), 1
11. toothbrush w/ cover, 1
12. toothpaste, (full sized, 6 ounce), 1
13. bar soap, 1
14. wash cloth, 1
15. comb, 1
16. tissues, 1
17. lip balm, 1
18. disposable razor, 1
19. [feminine hygiene products, 2 tampons + 2 liners]
20. the baggies themselves

After coming home and looking over everything, I realized that we had forgotten to add water to the mix.  In the future, when funds allow, we plan on adding to each baggie, a full sized bottle of shampoo and a stick of deodorant.

After calculating our costs, the total came out to be just shy of $5.00 per bag.
