Pay It Forward BTS Back Pack Event
All over social media people are talking about Back To School. There is shopping, sales, giveaways and tips every where you turn. Back to school is an expensive time. I know that people spend hundreds of dollars on each child for school supplies each year.
This year I was able to be a part of something amazing. A "Pay It Forward" Back Pack challenge. The goal is to buy a back pack and fill it with supplies for $25. Not an easy task! Then I am privileged to give the supplies to a child.
I am in Canada, and we have different stores here, and higher prices. It is amazing to me the differences in prices here. I searched for a back pack that was reasonably priced that was not going to fall apart, and could not find one! I was finally able to find a licensed one on sale!
I could have gone to the dollar store for some supplies, but was not about to fill a child's school supplies with things that need replacing 2 days later. Oh, the days wasted because of dollar store supplies in my house!
Here is what I was able to accomplish:
Before tax: $22.82
After tax: $25.77
I am so thrilled to be a part of this event. These days, we are an untrusting, unloving, and a cold society. Everyone looks out for them selves, and no one notices the needs around us. Happiness comes from giving. Being able to pay it forward is a gift in it self. I feel as lucky to be able to do this as the people receiving this blessing.
