First aid kit for under $50!

First "kit" I recommend putting together is a first aid kit!
This is soooo easy! I went to the 99cent store and bought the following:

* Assorted band-aides
* gauze
* antibiotic cream
* burn cream
*ace bandage
*cold compress
* tweezers
*Alcohol
* hydrogen peroxide                                         DONT forget prescribed meds and reading glasses!
* latex gloves                                                    Also, dental floss, tooth brushes and toothpaste!
* Antacids
* diarrhea medicine 
* assortment of supplements and vitamins
* alcohol wipes
* Ibuprofen
* cold medication
* chapstick
*vaseoline
* womens personal hygiene products
****A first aid book!
These can be put into a plastic air tight container OR a new unused gallon paint can! Paint cans can be purchased from your local hardware stores! Once you put the lid on it , it becomes airtight and waterproof! Dont forget to purchase paint can "keys" duct tape it to the side of the can OR tie one onto the handle! It will be a big pain if you cant find one and need to get the can open in case of an emergency!
