#58: Continue Using Coupons to Build My "Stockpile" of Items I Get for Free or Close to Free - Update!

When I'm out getting stuff for my own stockpile, I often go ahead and buy some things that are free with the intention of being able to donate them to charity. 

A family at church asked for donations for a family that they knew from Africa that had just recently moved to the Kansas City area.  They needed some help getting started with some of the basics.  I was more than happy to donate a lot of my freebies to them!

2 packages of diapers
9 children's bar soaps
2 packages of baby wipes
2 bottles of baby wash

1 bottle of baby lotion
2 women's razors
3 bottles of shaving gel
6 bottles of shampoo/conditioner
4 bottles of body wash
3 deodorants
2 bottles of lotion
1 bottle of hand sanitizer
9 toothbrushes
9 tubes of toothpaste
1 dental floss
2 children's mouth washes
1 bottle of Children's Tylenol
3 packages of Band-Aids
2 bottles of Excedrin
1 bottle of Robitussin cough medicine
1 Lysol Freshmatic
1 box of Q-Tips
8 bars of soap
1 spray bottle multi-purpose cleaner
2 bottles odor neutralizer
1 bottle salad dressing
