Can you believe it's almost Friday? And after the gorgeous weather we had here last weekend, it was SNOWING this morning!!!
I just had a few thoughts to share with you about how I effectively kill two birds with one stone when I'm shopping:
1) I LOVE the Box Tops for Education program!
When you're using coupons, you're getting great deals on brand name products, but it's as easy as grabbing the scissors to take it one step further! Each Box Top that you collect is worth 10 cents to the school of your choice (and they add up FAST!). If you have no children, or if your children are still too young for school, just drop these off at your local elementary, middle, or high school - they will be glad to get them! For a list of participating products, click here
2) Another good way to avoid throwing away any extra benefits of buying branded goods is to participate in Campbell's Labels for Education program. Just from browsing the 2 web sites, I don't think the payout on this program is nearly as good as the payout on the Box Tops program BUT any little bit helps when you're talking about education! A complete list of products (and point values) is listed here.
3) Finally, as most of you know, Harris Teeter is my absolute favorite couponing venue, and they have their own program that supports education called Together in Education. This program allows you to link your VIC card with the school of your choice and the rewards that you earn will be automatically distributed to that store.
There are many, many other ways that you can support schools or charities when you're doing your shopping!!! The point I'm trying to make is that if you are diligent and creative with how you spend your money, then you should be dedicated to the very end to squeeze as much value as you can on your purchases!
I hope that you all have a great night and a fantastic weekend! I may even have a guest blogger next week - my wonderful husband!
All my love,
