Bargain Finds!

1) Check discount stores for good cheap cotton women's panties (e.g., Burlington, Ross, TJMaxx, Marshalls). To date, our best finds for women’s and children's panties have been Target (where you can buy a pack of 6-7 for about $7.50; I think the brand is Fruit of the Loom). I also found some packs at Ross (packs of 4-5 panties for $4.99-6.99). Remember that the women are all Muslim and you want to stick with conservative styles and colors.
2) Walgreens has full size tubes of toothpaste (Aim and Pepsodent) for $1.00. Target also has these brands for about $.89.
3) Walgreens has packs of 20 assorted combs for $2.29.
4) Target has full size bottles of Suave (I think) shampoo for $.89.
5) Sam’s Club and Target are good places for washcloths. You can buy a pack of 24 washcloths for about $10 at Sam’s, and they have 8-packs at Target for $3.49. You can also find packs sometimes at places like Ross, TJMaxx and Marshalls that are inexpensive and decent quality.
6) Target has had kids knit gloves (thin) for 2/$1.00 and $1.00 hats.
7) Walmart has sweat pants and shirts for about $5.00.
8) Check out Dollar stores (such as Dollar Tree, etc.)--there are sometimes good finds there, especially for hand lotion and sanitary supplies for women (which are often $1.00).
9) Check the internet for places that sell wholesale hygiene items in bulk (like toothbrushes or toothpaste or soap).
10) Others have suggested that garage sales are excellent places to find good (but used) winter clothing for women and children.
