Don't Miss out on Back-to-School Box Tops Bonuses

Reality is sinking in that school will be starting in less than three weeks. You can't go into a grocery store without seeing aisles full of crayons, notebooks, glue sticks, and other school supplies. My e-mail is full of back-to-school shopping sales and lunchbox ideas.

Also in full back-to-school mode are Box Tops for Education bonuses at area grocery stores. In addition to the Box Top on each product, worth 10 cents, you can also earn extra money for Discovery by purchasing a certain number of products.

For instance, if you buy five Box Tops products in one purchase by Aug. 31 at Walmart and then scan your receipt into the Box Tops for Education app, you will earn 50 bonus Box Tops, or $5, for Discovery!

Fred Meyer also has a Box Tops bonus incentive running through Aug. 15. If you buy five participating items, a bonus Box Tops certificate for $2 will be provided at checkout. And if you have the Fred Meyer app, a slew of coupons are available for Box Tops products, like Annie's macaroni and cheese, Big G cereals, Yoplait GoGurts, and Nature Valley and Larabar snacks.

It's a great time to stock up for back-to-school breakfasts and snacks as well as get those extra Box Tops to start the school year off strong for Discovery! Last school year, we received just over $2,000 from Box Tops, with half of the money going directly back to the classrooms and the other half to the PTA for other school initiatives. Let's work to beat that number this school year!
