Don't forget grocery stores have reward programs...Safeway, Giant, Food Lion, and Weis. You swipe your card each time you shop. Your school gets points. Mom on the Runs last blog post..Why Is the Beginning of the School Year So Tense?

We keep a baggie on the side of the frig and I put the box tops in them as I am cooking and/or cleaning up the kitchen. That way, I know where they are and I can just pop it into my daughter’s book bag.

Didn’t know about the online ‘portal’ – thanks for that tip!

We always did this back when I was in elementary school (not all THAT long ago, ’cause I’m still super young, but either way), and it was so fun. I’m planning on having my stepdaughter help me out with clipping them, too, and I’ve already got quite the stash! Her school also does Campbell’s labels and eScrip, too–awesome!

We homeschool, but I still save all our boxtops and sent them to a kid down the street who goes to the school my kids would have gone to. Hey, maybe if I can earn them enough box top mmoney, they'll give me a property tax break! LOL Kris @ Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolerss last blog post..Homeschool Agenda

I love this program too! It makes me feel like my money is stretching a little farther!

We LOVE Boxtops… but since we became an all natural family our supply is limited, so we beg, borrow and steal from family members and friends. Our school is running a back to school contest for the kid who brings in the most Boxtops the first week back… my kids won’t win because I split them exactly in thirds! What’s a Mom to do!

Cheers!

I don’t have kids in school, but this is a good thing to keep in mind to save for other people’s kids!

I love boxtops! In fact, this year at my son’s school, I’m going to be helping to coordinate the effort (which basically means I’ll be clipping boxtops and putting them into bags of 50 while I watch TV).

I didn’t know about the marketplace, though, so thanks! I’ll definitely use that when I do my online Christmas shopping.

And if your school uses eScrip you can help them even more. You sign up with your grocery club card (and even your credit card) and then a percentage of ALL your purchases not just the ones from certain brands is credited to your school. You can even sign up your credit card if you dare! So we pay for our groceries with our credit card... and I think they get extra! Kristas last blog post..Book: Twice Loved
