What are some inexpensive items that would be good to send to the Troops in Iraq?
I found this website through a lady at the military hospital called ANYSOLDIER.COM. It gives soldiers in Iraq and other places a chance to post about their expierience and request items that they need or want. I really want to send a lot of things to the soldiers, but I need relatively inexpensive items that would be good for them since I'm only 14 and get a small weekly allowance (nothing like movies and cds that cost some money). I was thinking things like Kool-Aid packets, Beef Jerkey, Guitar Picks, and socks. My dad was in the military and my brother is currently in the military on a tour so I feel that I should donate as much as I can to the troops :]
What are some inexpensive items like the ones I listed that would be good to send to the troops? Where is the cheapest place you can get the item so I can get a lot of them?
I also suggest that you go to anysoldier.com and check it out. They do a lot for us and my brother tells me how much he enjoys packages and such :] (link)

although it seems small, even things like wet wipes are GREAT there. the kool-aid packets are a great idea. especially the ones that you DON'T have to mix anything but water with. any non-parishable foods are good too [like canned foods, they can last a long time]. you basically have the right idea with the list you have started. Just keep thinking about the small things that might just make their day 10 times better!
and wal-mart or an Aldies are the best places to look, its cheep!
