My wife, baby, and I were in the Myrtle Beach, Sc area and we stopped at the Coastal Grand Mall. While we were walking around we noticed The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program, so we stopped and looked to see what the kids (angels) wanted this year for Christmas. We made a mental note of what they wanted (tricycles, baby riding toy and wrestling men) and went to KB Toys in the Coastal Grand Mall, as we walked in we saw that KB Toys was having a sale. We then found the toys on our list and tried to narrow down what gift we were going to get, the tricycle or the baby ride toy. We then noticed that on top of the sale price KB Toys will take additional 20% off when you spend $50 or more. We taught great, we'll buy them both and make two kids (angels) happy on Christmas. We did our math again and were a little shy of the $50 min. We then started to look at the wrestling men and saw that they where sale for buy 2 get one half off. We added the three wrestling men to the tricycle and baby ride toy and went to the check out counter. The guy checking use out asked if we needed a gift receipt, so we told them it was for The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program. The guy then said we should mark out the UPC label so no one can return the toys. I didn't even think that someone would not give the toys to the kids, so he marked out the UPC label for use. The total after it was all said and done was about $55. We were shocked that we could help 5 kids (angels) happy on Christmas this year, it feels really good to give. Don't forget to give this year, no matter your budget you can make a child happy on Christmas. There are other great programs for helping kids for Christmas, like the Marine Corps Toys for Tots.
