72 Hour Kit Time

With General Conference fast approaching it is time to get out those 72 hour kits and dust them off. At the October General Conference we redo all the food in our kits and redo all the clothing (for those fast growing kids). The fun part for the kids is that they get to eat all the food in the kit during General Conference (I don't cook at all on Saturday). The kids are thrilled to be able to eat all the fun individual packaged items that I don't usually buy. So start thinking about your menu planning and getting your kits out and organized in the next couple of weeks. You can get really cheap fruit snacks and granola bars until Tuesday at Randalls (see Savingwithshellie.com). Here is our menu:

Also, backpacks are 75% off at Target right now. This would be a good time to get some backpacks for around $3. Lunchboxes are on clearance as well! Here's a pretty good list of what you need from lds.about.com:
