It's that time of year again the duffles need to be out on Sunday!!! This year I was in complete denial because it's my 6th year and think I don't need to get much. I was way wrong!!! I brought up the duffles and realize how many things were broken, missing and I forgot about all the stuff I don't let the kids bring home that need to be replace. Usually I go to a million stores looking for the best price driving all over town. This year I just shopped online at Target for most of my needs. First let me say If you shop at Target ever, you should have the Red Card which offers you automatic 5% cash back and free shipping on all items. These are just some of the things I bought.... small carpet, foam mattress topper, comforter, fan, conditioner, deodorant.... Not only that, but my son decided that this year he needed 2 foam mattress toppers, of course I already placed my order with Target. He begged and said that all the boys in his bunk have 2 because it is much more comfortable. I just went on the Target website ordered it and it came the same day as the original order. This was no extra cost to me. I never left the living room and I was able to catch up on all my TV shows that I DVR'd while shopping for camp.
Note in this picture all the clothing from both children have not be given to me yet. That is 2 other duffles. I also highly recommend the 2 gallon plastic bags to keep the kids organized. You just put in the shirts, pants, shower stuff.... The kids just take it out and place in the cubby the way you organized it.
I hope this helps some of you, especially you working parents who have no time to shop around.
