It’s Easy To Earn Cash For Your Child’s School With Box Tops at Costco!

August 13, 2018 By Desiree Eaglin

I receive monetary compensation from General Mills in exchange of my endorsement of Box Tops For Education.

Stock Up and Earn! box tops at costco

Whether we’re ready to admit it or not, summer break is coming to a fast close. Before we know it parents just like us across the nation will be hard pressed to stock up on back to school supplies before we send our youngsters back to school. However, I know that even despite my best efforts to stock up all summer long, I’ll still be in a rush to grab school and lunch supplies in time. Whenever I’m in need of a good cupboard refill (and let’s be honest-that’s almost always with 4 hungry kids to feed) I head into Costco to load up without breaking the bank.
But did you know that Box Tops are available on tons of participating products at Costco? That’s right – you can load up and look for Box Tops on hundreds of participating products to earn cash for your school right at Costco. Each clip is worth 10¢ for your school!

It All Began 22 Years Ago

The Box Tops for Education program began in 1997. General Mills wanted to create a program to help support education and benefit America’s schools and so, Box Tops for Education was born. It was a very successful program, right from the start. By 1998, more than 30,000 schools were clipping Box Tops and earning cash to buy the things they needed: books, computers, playground equipment and more.

Clipping Box Tops and Having Fun!

We are fortunate that our kids elementary school takes collecting Box Tops very seriously. They have created contests where the classroom in each grade level that is able to collect the most Box Tops wins a popsicle party! All of the kids in the school participate and our school was able to earn over fourteen hundred dollars in the last school year, crazy right? You can check out your school’s Box Top collecting progress too at Box Tops for Education. My good friend has volunteered to be our school’s Box Top collector and she has done an amazing job at keeping the kids excited to participate, the teachers invested and the administration motivated. I am so proud of her and her hard work! My kids have each won a popsicle party for having the classroom with the most Box Tops and that has motivated them to help clip them at home.

How To Help Earn Money For Your School

Box Tops for Education supports schools by offering an easy way to earn cash for necessary items. When you shop at Costco and clip Box Tops products throughout the year, you’re helping your school have the necessary tools to inspire young minds. I have participated in clipping box tops for my children’s elementary school every year. I found that clipping them immediately and storing them in a special spot makes collecting them for their school easier. My good friend is the box top coordinator and our elementary school earned just over $1400 in box tops last year! I have learned from her to pay close attention to expiration dates and to clip the box tops carefully.
