I started this blog to help people find information on the Boxtops for Education program for St. Edmunds Academy. Over the school year, I want to do two things with the program. The first is to make collecting and dropping off the boxtops fun. Look for changes on the bulletin board in the cafeteria!
The second is to take advantage of the online shopping deal. There is a huge, and I mean, HUGE list of merchants that give out eBoxtops just for shopping online. All you do is resister on the BTFE site, then shop as you ordinarily would. It works in the background by putting a cookie on your computer. Each boxtop is worth 10 cents, and the merchants give away 1-10 eBoxtops per $10 spent. For example, Target.com gives 1.5 for eavery $10. So if you spend $100 on Target.com, that's 15 eBoxtops, or $1.50 for the school. This doesn't cost you anything! Free money!
Oh my god, you are concerned about the cookie and the privacy, right? Well, get over it! The online merchants already have cookies on your computer. They know what you are buying and what web sites you are browsing and what you are searching for anyway. So why not let them pay the school for the privilege?
I will post instructions on how to register separately.
Until then, keep saving those boxtops!
