With a blog title like “Saving & Giving” it’s pretty obvious that I like to save money and that I like to give. Some of my favorite giving projects are ones that just happen naturally, without costing my family anything extra. The Box Tops for Education program definitely falls into this category.
I’m sure you’ve learned from my shopping trip posts that we eat a lot of cereal and granola bars. Fortunately for us (and our daughter’s school), many of these products participate in the Box Tops program.
When I was contacted by My Blog Spark about seeing how many Box Top products I could get with a $25 Walmart gift card, I jumped at the opportunity! My husband and I stopped at Walmart earlier this week and got everything pictured here for just over $25.
I was a little skeptical about the prices at Walmart, but I was pleasantly surprised to find some Value Sized boxes of granola bars on the shelves. The Fiber One bars (our favorites) were only $4.00 for a double pack. That’s a pretty good deal! I ended up only using four coupons for this trip:
- $1.00 off any 2 Cheerios coupon from ??? (insert??)
- $2.00 off 4 Juicy Juice printable coupon
- 2 $.50 off Granola Thins printable coupon
I could have used the $.50 off Fiber One printable, but I used all of mine at Kroger a couple of weeks ago.
The best part about this trip (besides having my handsome hubby with me!) was that we ended up with 13 Box Tops for Emma’s school! We’ll add these to our ever-growing stash of Box Tops and turn them in periodically throughout the school year. It’s amazing to see how quickly these little Box Tops add up! They’re popping up on everything from tissues to juice to bath tissue to feminine products. I check every package as its emptied, just to make sure I’m not missing one. I feel like I’m throwing away dimes if I miss them!

I get the most box tops from my refrigerated bisquits and rolls – There are on every one!
I love sending these in and the kids always remind me.
I am the Box Tops coordinator at the elementary school where I work. I had no idea that So many stores like Target and Publix and WalMart give bonus Box Tops slips for buying a number of Box Tops products. I received a slip for 12 extras from Target today for purchasing 6 products with Box Tops. ….an extra $1.20 to buy library books for my library!!!!
