A win-win scenario

So, my question for today is Do you save your box tops for Education?
You know, the little tabs that you find on your General Mills, Pillsbury and Betty Crocker foods, Ziploc bags and other items?

Ok, so maybe your family doesn't go through a zillion boxes of Golden Grahams like my family does.
But I don't know of anyone who hasn't occasionally used a ziploc baggie.
And if you haven't bought some Pillsbury Crescent rolls and made these, well, you are seriously missing out on some of the yummy goodness in life!

Why do I ask?
Well, this last week I was lucky enough to go to a training for the Coordinators of Box Tops for Education.
And, WOW, these little scraps from your packaging have made huge differences in schools all over the country!
So...
You don't need an elementary or middle school child of your own to save the box tops
You just need:
Scissors or your little hands to cut or tear them out of the package
a baggie or junk drawer to keep them in until you turn them over
a local elementary or middle school or a neighborhood child to give them to!
(check your local grocery store for a drop box)

Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy

And, to get you motivated I will show you this:

This is a ginormous bag (ziploc of course) of goodies that all have box top labels on them.
Everything you see here has those little labels that you can save and give to help a local school.
And I'm going to GIVE IT AWAY...to one lucky duck.

Here's how you can win:
One entry-tell me two items that you normally use that have box tops
Second entry-promise to start saving and TURNING IN box tops (honor system here...follow through now!)
Third Entry-Blog or tell about this giveaway on Facebook
*and don't forget to leave an email so I can contact you if you win*
Winner will be drawn on Sunday, March 20th at 7:00 PM

Now go forth and make money for your schools, people!
