[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took over the box tops job for our school when I realized that nobody else was doing it. The box tops regularly bring in $1000-$2000 per year for the PTA and that's a lot to us. The pp who didn't think $1.20 was worth it is wrong. How hard is it to put them in an envelope and ask your kid to stick it in a box at school? If everyone in the school contributed 10-20 box tops per school year, we'd get thousands of dollars. Kids love going through the pantry to find items with the box top logo on them. Have your kids cut them out and bring them in. You don't have to do a thing.

I completely get not wanting the processed foods. Nobody is asking you to buy products just because they have box tops on them. I will buy generic if it's cheaper. But there are a lot of natural products with the box tops coupon - Cascadian Farms, Green Giant fresh produce, "Food Should Taste Good" chips. Also, like a pp said, many non-food items including Kleenex, Ziploc, Hanes t-shirts and underwear.

Actually, it is so much easier for the school if you tape or glue them here:  http://www.boxtops4education.com/-/media/BoxTops/FlyersAndDownloads/Assets/CollectionSheets/BTFE_collectionsheet_25.pdf

If the PP got $1.20/mo. X 9 months for the school year x 28 kids in my DD's class = $340 collected PER class, and the school year is MORE than 9 months.  FWIW, my MIL and neighbor gives them to us, too, so we fill about 6-7 of those sheets per year and eat very little junk food.  Each sheet is $5 free to the school.[/quote]
