Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving week to you! I know many of you are always looking for things for our Spayghetti baskets, but there are some things we always are in need of for fundraising baskets and such that are showing up in Black Friday sales, so wanted to put them out here for anyone who might be hitting these stores and wanted to grab an item or two.
At Kohl's, select Toastmaster small appliances are on sale for $12.49 and you can get an extra 15% off online with code GET15
Most needed for us would be the Hand mixer, immersion blender and coffee grinder. We can use multiples of these items for coffee baskets, baking baskets, kitchen baskets and more.

Kohl's also has Slow Cookers on sale, and they are a very popular item, again you can use the GET15 code to save 15% which will make this item $16.99

Walmart has tons of Black Friday specials and some are already going on. The fundraising team needs lots of containers to hold all our items as well as for transporting things to events. These things get beat up so we have found that the Hyper Tough containers hold up best. The preferred size of 27 gallon are on sale at Walmart now for $8.86. Sam's Club has them for $8.98, so not much difference in price and you can do Curbside pickup at either place. We can use a bunch of these.

Lowe's & Home Depot have great deals on small hand tools, we always need those for tool baskets and things oriented toward the home or auto repair individual.
And remember, gift cards are ALWAYS needed. Lot's of places run promotions this time of year where you buy a certain amount they give you "free" gift cards, those come in handy both for a our gift card boards which are big money makers, or for us to buy needed items to complete baskets. And of course, those gift cards you receive as gifts that you won't use, we can always put to good use.
