Shop, Clip and Share for Your School

Disclosure

When I was growing up, I remember the battle we had between who got to tear off the top to the cereal box and at what point. At the time, by turning in the entire top to the cereal box, we helped our school get things like playground or gym equipment.  There was a box in the classroom that we dropped them into and it was always such a joy to feel like we were contributing.

What I’m referring to is the Boxtops 4 Education program and today, my daughters have the same thrill of collecting.  Whether it was the same program then or not, I don’t know.  Doesn’t matter… the concept was the same.  And the funny thing is that the feeling is the same for my daughters.  They’re total label-readers now.  As in – “Hey, this one has box tops!”  They know the drill though – the box tops stay on the box (or can or whatever) until it is ready to recycle then they all go into one bag where they are divided equally once a month.

The cool thing is that box tops aren’t just on cereal any more.  They’re on all kinds of things – baking products, produce, school supplies, beverages, water filtration products, paper supplies. This list is huge!

This year, as you prep for school to start and stock your pantry with all-things-lunchbox, keep an eye out at Sam’s Club for packages that contain 6 bonus boxtops.  Instead of just one, you get multiple.  (and if you have more than one kid, that’s soooo important!)

To aid you in your box top quest, I’m offering a $25 Sam’s Club gift card thanks to General Mills and MyBlogSpark.  It’s so easy to play along, too, so please do!
