Couldn't agree with your piece of helpful advice more. I went through the same delima when getting set up, I mean really set up.
The dollar store is your friend here! Wally World is a pretty handy resource for this too although not my favorite place to shop. But budget prices are always a good thing. I filled a three day sized camo day pack to the hilt for just a few bucks and could probably go a couple of years before running out of stuff I need. I used the clear flat plastic plano tackle boxes (youd be amazed and how much crap you can cram into one of these!) and small plastic organizing totes from Walmart to organize it all and keep things readily accessable. It worked kick butt although it doesn't look as pretty as the fold out canvas first aid bags with all the whistles and bells, but then it was a helluva lot cheaper too!
