OCC // Weekly Deals

We are about a month away from the National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child. So there is plenty of time to gather things for a shoe box! If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out my post HERE.

I also want to encourage you to watch this video about How to Pack a Shoe Box. It explains everything you need to know about what is appropriate for a shoe box. I have also listed store deals this week on items that can go in the box.

Check it out and have fun packing! J

Note: The deals listed here are advertised sales and coupon match-ups for items that are appropriate for Operation Christmas Child only.  Keep in mind sales and coupon availability vary by region or store. It is possible you can find better prices and/or coupons for other items in store. In general, items for an OCC shoe box can be found for $1 or less.
