Box Tops for Education-news & updates

As I’m working on blog redesign, one of the elements in progress is the Box Tops for Education Resource Page. For new readers, I am the Box Tops coordinator at my son’s school, so I often post deals and offers related to BTFE. It was a very popular page on my blog when I was Lisa’s Bargain Alert and unfortunately it didn’t make the migration over here. But it will return, I promise! Last week I went to the Philadelphia Box Tops University, where we learned about some program updates.

Boise Paper-this is now a BTFE product. If you work in an office that orders paper by the case, consider ordering Boise so that you can earn more BTFEs for your school.

Other new products-Now the ENTIRE baking aisle of Betty Crocker will have BTFEs on them. ALL the brownie mixes, all the cake mixes, everything! Same with Toaster Strudel and Scramblers, now ALL will have them, not just some varieties. More Avery items will be carrying Box Tops. More Green Giant items. And a new product coming from Land O Lakes that I am very much anticipating-cinnamon sugar butter! Yum! Look for this new product soon and it will have BTFEs on it.

Earn an easy $0.50 for your school: If you are not already registered online at the Box Tops website, go there and do it now! When you register, your school earns an easy five Box Tops, just for you registering and picking a school. (If you don’t have a school to register with, please choose: First Step of Chester Cty in zip code 19382. We’re a very small school that could use the help!) It was also suggested that you get out a couple of laptops for Back to School or Meet the Teacher nights, so that parents can register right then & there. Great idea!

Hanes T-shirts: This is a great offer! If you have to order any t-shirts in bulk, listen up. Any order qualifies–so it can be a corporation, family reunion, sports team, school-anything. If you need to do a bulk order of tees, get Hanes. Then, all you have to do is submit your receipt to Hanes, and they will send you a Bonus Box Tops certificate, one per shirt. This is a great way, like if you or your spouse’s company does a work picnic and orders shirts, you can earn the BTFEs! More info on the Box Tops website.

Stay tuned for more great ideas and easy ways to earn money for your school.
