We were able to purchase a lot of this from big lots and 99cent only with expirations of dec 2012 and 2013. Some of it we were forced to purchase at walgreens and walmart. The rollaway makeup travel case we purchased for 16.99 @ Marshalls, the backpack that houses it all was just laying in a closet. Total cost around 90 dollars. Online price 190.00 plus shipping.

After we acquire more bandages and the cpr mouthpiece we will be transferring all of this to a toolbox and be making a miniature one for the BOB bag.
