This is part 2 of my HUGE shopping haul for our camping family vacation.
Part 1 was so big, it needed it's own blog post!
To read part 1 of this haul including The Dollar Tree, Target, and Ace Hardware, click here.
We are leaving for our eight night family vacation on Friday. We are going to our favorite camp site and I have a rafting trip planned. I have done a lot of shopping in preparation for this trip.
In part 2, I have Walmart, Rite Aid, and Kmart
Walmart
I picked them each up a small toy. My son got a TsumTsum mini stuffy and my daughter got a new Shopkins blind pack.
The last item I got was a pure splurge and only purchased because it was on clearance and I wanted them to try Wubble Balls at some point. This one glows, so what is a better time than while camping and on vacation to try a new toy I wouldn't normally buy. No time is like the present!
Rite Aid
More toys for the kids!
Camping can be very fun for them. It can also get boring.
My son's toy is this Minecraft Bow and Arrow. This was a spendy $30 but because this is our vacation, I want him to have it.
My daughter's items were all pretty cheap so she got more. She loves these coloring sets where she can design outfits for the dolls in the pictures. I usually get her something like this for gifts and she spends hours drawing in them.
I got some more insta clips for our lantern just in case. These were only $2 at Kmart. That is great deal!
The last item I have never seen before. I got these self-sealing water balloons.
I am thinking of making a rant post on Buncha Balloons.
Those are a total fail and I am not happy about it!
I am hoping although these are one at a time, it will still be easier if I dont have to tie them
We will see!
That is it for my HUGE camping vacation haul!
I still have to go to the grocery store.
I am planning a post for that later in the week.
I have to go pack.
I have so much to do to prepare for this trip!

I ended up picking up 2 water guns. I normally do not buy these for my kids. I know water guns are harmless, but it is still a gun. I have talked to my kids about guns and I think they can handle having a water gun on a hot day and not get any mixed signals about gun violence. It will be hot out on our vacation and I dont have space for the larger squirters. I'm not sure how other parents out there feel about water guns. I am on the fence and I will see how it goes.
I found another great deal on Candy Cordz crafts. I found another set back in June at Michaels really cheap as well. The two of these will be for my daughter to do crafts while we are camping/I picked them each up a small toy. My son got a TsumTsum mini stuffy and my daughter got a new Shopkins blind pack.

Rite Aid
I dont normally shop at Rite Aid. However, because I have been attempting to coupon and have heard lots of great things about Rite Aid, I gave it a shot there.
I ended up using two coupons at Rite Aid. I got both the Simply Venus razors and the Tide each for $3. I think that is a pretty good deal. I prefer 5 blade razors, but these will be perfect for my daughter. I am going to save them for her until school starts. She is starting middle school and has been bugging me about shaving. Im not ready for that yet, but when I am, the stockpile is forming!
I really like their dollar section. These juice mixes are great for the kids. I just put them in water bottles. They make for easy drinks while camping.
My Hubby picked out the Moon Pies. These are mini ones and the perfect size for a treat for him and the kids.
The brownie mix is a great deal at $1. I am making these today, then freezing them to take with us Friday.
Kmart
This camping trip poses some challenges. One of them being when we go camping for four nights, the cooler is always packed so full I can hardly get ice into it. Packing food for eight nights in a cooler is also not realistic as it wont stay fresh. We are expecting temperatures above 90 the first half of the trip. So I am planning food for the first four nights, plus as much extra food to get through the last half of the week as I can. I am still trying to figure it all out. We plan to go grocery shopping on our 5th day there and I have a menu planned. Having a second cooler will keep things colder as I have space for more ice. We picked up this cooler as our second cooler for only 17 bucks on clearance. It fits on the floor behind my seat and that space was available anyway. This cooler will be primarily for drinks. I may also get some snacks for the kids like yogurt and Lunchables in here as well so they can easily grab a snack when they are hungry. .
More toys for the kids!
