i have to start thinking about what i'm putting in the out of town/hotel bags. So far I have cheez its (given to me by someone) and advil bought. Was looking for small bags of chips, pretzels, cookies, along those lines. Any idea where i can order these from online? I want to avoid having to go to Costco or BJs because i don't have a membership and will have to drag someone to take me.
Anything else that you're putting in that would be good? I'm thinking of gum, mints, bottles of water and a note about shuttle to the venue.

stop and shop has good prices for like chips and things... they have like 36 packs of assorted chips and things there for like $6 or $7 on a good day :) if you want to order online you can look into peapod delivery through stop and shop

Target, Walmart, Kmart, any of those places you can probably get bulk chips/cookies/gum/water bottles.

For toiletries, I would try Harmon Drugs they're usually found inside Bed Bath & Beyond (so you get to use their coupons!) and they also have started popping up as separate stores.. I know there's one in Commack in the Macy's shopping center. They always have travel-sized toiletries for cheap, I go there whenever FH and I go on a vacation!

You can get water bottles really cheap at CVS.I'm putting in snacks, water bottles and maybe some Advil. I also bought tissues through oriental trading

I got all the chips/water/candy/granola bars/gum at BJs cause it was easiest to get it all in the same place but I bet you can get the same stuff at Target or Walmart. I also got those individual packs of bandaids at BB&B and hand sanitizer at Bath & Body Works (I got Christmas themed ones) when I had a coupon.

Awww - that is so sweet of you to offer!
Unfortunately, I live in Brooklyn, so we dont have all that many options for bulk shopping. That's why I wanted to try to order online. Plus, then I can have everything shipped to my boss' house since her basement is going to be wedding central to finish up these types of projects.
I can try out the grocery stores like Shop Rite to see if they have the snack size chip packages.

I am making my bags this weekend, but I already purchased everything I am putting in them. I am putting water, granola bar, pack of gum, some twizzlers, a pack of tylenol, and a card with the times the shuttle will be running.

I bought a regular size bag of chips instead of putting two small ones - I figured it was basically the same thing. 2 granola bars, 2 water bottles, chocolate, advil and a box of Mike n Ikes. I also got timeline cards and door hangers from Etsy

I live in Brooklyn and could use a Costco run soon if you would like to meet there and use my card :)
