Last week, I took advantage of one of our last free weekends until we leave and started prepping our resupplies. I spent an entire Sunday running to 3 or 4 stores, organizing, dividing, packing and prepping pretty much all of our non-food stuffs. I bought out WalMart’s entire supply of travel sized wet wipe and baby wipe packages and Woodman’s entire supply of travel sized sunscreen :)
It was a bit overwhelming at first to dump out the shopping bags and look at all of the items...where to begin? But after sorting them it wasn’t so bad, I had a rough idea of what was needed for each individual bucket, so I basically grabbed one of everything and put it in a ziplock bag.
David and I bought our resupply buckets from Menards along with jumbo boxes of candy bars!! Who would have thought Mendards would have jumbo boxes of candy bars at a super discounted price PLUS a mail-in rebate?! Sweet!
After sorting everything, I put our supplies into ziplock bags and dropped them into the bottom of our respective buckets. Now all we have to do is finish planning, buying, prepping and packing all of our food! We’ll wait another month or so to do that . In the meantime, we’ve been picking up a few things here and there that will keep, like beef jerky that’s on sale, large bags of M&M’s that we had coupons for.
The picture below is a slightly more organized version of our resupply piles...
