Great idea. I have been sending boxes to Afghan soldiers since last November. The post office has flat rate boxes.

Walgreens also has discontinued counters. Last week I stocked up on chap stick.....3 or 4 to a package for 25 cents. I use coupons to greatly reduce the cost of fruit cups, tooth paste, tooth brushes, etc. I also buy DVDs when they are on sale for $4-$5.

We are retired on a limited budget, but there is so much you can do for a little money. Each time you go to the store pick up a couple of things....that way you don’t really notice the cost.

I participate through Adopt a Platoon. Go to this website and vote for them...www.ilovechristiecookies.com
A cookie company is going to award the favorite charity $25,000. Select Adopt a Platoon Lozano, TX from the drop down box.
