<p>It’s been to cold to get out and put together my own care packages for the boys I send care packages to. Anyone know of any good buys out there for mail order goodies?</p>

<p>Hickory Farms is still having 75% off much of its merchandise. It does charge $10 flat rate for shipping (tho for a while, it was free to military addresses–not sure if that is still valid). I sent some of those the other year & it was greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Off subject–today, I had to mail D the prescription glasses & sunglasses which were finally done at Costco. I also included a case of individual chocolate soy milk and some dark chocolate and a case of individual pack trail mix, so she can have some healthy snacks. It weighed 16.5 pounds but only cost $14.95 to mail–yeah USPS flat rate!</p>

<p>I think B&N or Borders (can’t remember which) was having free shipping with no minimum, if it’s still on.</p>

<p>Wow, HImom, that Hickory Farms idea was a good one! Thank you - we have a family celebration and this was very timely!</p>

<p>You might check grouponroundup or brad’s deals…I often see steep discounts there! Also look at the “Good Buy” thread as there have been several posted lately…I found a decent deal on Valentine goodies at the popcorn factory, IIRC it was $10 off any order and free shipping, plus a big rebate from mr. rebates, so it was cheaper than assembling and mailing a package.</p>

<p>This popped up in my email today and I jumped on it.</p>
