As I said in my first post, I will be bringing back the BTFE resource page that I had on Lisa’s Bargain Alert. I’d love to just give you that link, but I have it set on redirect, so if you go over there, it automatically redirects you to Smart Spending Spot. So I’m going to copy & paste all of the information. I haven’t double checked to make sure that all the links are still valid; I apologize in advance if they’re not. But you at least get an idea of what to expect. The new resource page will be bigger & better, I promise!
I am the BTFE coordinator for my son’s school. That makes me very aware of the General Mills and BTFE promotions that are going on in my area. I like many of the BTFE products and was buying them anyway, getting catalinas and free stuff was just a bonus. Acme used to run fantastic General Mills promos that resulted in lots of freebies and $5 BTFE certs; but they’ve cut back. One collection period, I had over $255 in the $5 certificates for Kevin’s school. Think about it–I made a $255 donation to the school, and it didn’t cost me any money, just some time.
Here are some helpful links of printables and programs.
Box Tops for Education: the official website. Make sure you create an account here and find your child’s school. That way you can enter any online codes you get and shop online and the school gets credit.
BTFE printables– the printable coupons available on the BTFE site.
In your area: On this page, you can register to be kept informed about deals on BTFE products in your area. Deals such as “Get an extra $5 BTFE when you buy 10 participating products” and that type of thing.
Growing Local Learning-where you register the e-codes you get from BTFE.
Avery Design & Print– this is AWESOME! I make up little Ziplocs with stickers on them for the kids to take home. On it, I put the due date and a place for their name & classroom. Avery has ready-made templates with the BTFE logos on them, makes it sooooo easy. I use this all the time.
List of participating products
Eat Better America: more printable coupons for BTFE products; check back after 1st of each month
General Mills: complete list of coupons and promotions for the GM family of products, great resource!
Pssst: This is the ‘preview’ and word-of-mouth marketing site for General Mills. Sign up here and you’ll get free new (BTFE) products to try. I just got an email that I’m getting a free full-sized box of Honey Nut something in the mail next week!
E-Box Tops: earn e-box tops from these merchants when you shop online. They even have a “Deals, Discount and Clearance” section….whheeeeee!
Individual Products: GM is such a HUGE family of products, it would be impossible for me to list them all. But each one also has it’s own website and promotions, like Cheerios, Bisquick, Betty Crocker and more.
My other blog: I keep a blog for BTFE information just for my son’s school, or for the parents. It’s a good way to communicate contests, deadlines and things like that. It’s not a very active page, but you may want to check it out occasionally to get contest or collection ideas.
