Where to Buy Inexpensive Items for a Non-profit Raffle?

I would ask managers at Walmart, Target, Game Stop, Blockbuster, Toys R Us, etc if they can donate items for the raffle. Find out where some of the troop leaders and other parents work and approach those places as well. You may be able to get monetary donations that you can use to purchase items with as well as actual donations. If you are not comfortable asking in person, call them up and have all the information to verify your group and ask away. It never hurts to ask. If that doesn't work, I would go to the dollar stores or clearance aisles as suggested in other replies. Oh! Another thing idea is Chuck E. Cheese or Putt-Putt. They may have a package that they could offer as well or you may be able to get tickets or whatever they are using now and have say 200 tickets that could be used towards one of their prizes. Just a thought.

Another great place that I swear by is the 99 cent store off of Rufe Snow and Mid Cities. You will find items that Target and Wal-Mart carry but everything in the store is only $0.99!!!! Also, check with Krogers or Albertsons to see if they can donate something, (they have toys, books, etc). Big Lots is another good place to check for inexpensive items that kids love. I like the movie idea below, maybe also do a pizza basket, in it put a gift card for a pizza place, a deck of cards and a few other games you can find at the 99 cent store. Good luck.

Walmart has some toys on clerance and so does Target.
You could put movie baskets together from the dollar tree with treats and popcorn in them and a five dollar blockbuster Gift cert.
Get a bucket and put in the 97cent hot wheels in them some of them are numbered and people collect them.
Another bucket with water balloons and water guns.
Have fun!

don't rule out the clearance sales yet! I just made out on Disney.com yesterday. Keep an eye on amazon as well.

Why not ask Circuit City or another store to Donate something cool?
Is that allowed?
