What do you consider a good dollar amount for goody bags?

I just made 15 this weekend and paid less than $5.00 for them. I was pleased. And it didn't contain any candy! And the kids loved them.

Share some of the items you put in for future plans. That's really good! It usually costs me more than that! I try to find a few items that cost less than $1 each, but it probably comes to about 2-4 dollars per bag. I don't usually do candy either, but I'd love to know what you got!

Oh, I forgot probably about $0.50 in each bag for the Fizzy Bath Beads that changes the kids bath water. I bought a bottle of those and divided it between the kids.

So I guess it was $4.72.

I think it usually runs me about $5/ bag too. I try for the cheapest things without it being actual garbage kwim!

Great job!

Great job. I'm trying to stay away from Candy for dd's goody bags. We just went to a birthday party (for a 6 year old) and the bag was full of gum and stuff dd couldn't have. I'm going to try to stick to things any age group could have.

Stickers, Crayons, etc.
