I went back to Costco for another 38 pounds of little chocolate bars--photos to OW later. In all, 75 pounds of Hershey's miniatures--I'm guessing about 4,000 pieces. They're boxed and I'm putting the labels on when I'm finished posting. I ordered 480 dozen pencils today (that's 5,760 of 'em). When they arrive at the wholesaler, I'll pick them up and cart them straight to the post office. Thanks, everybody! Update, 12/18:
