Box Tops For Homeschoolers

[Lori63]

Our preschool wasn't allowed to join-only k-12 schools. We have 60 students and we could have used the money.

do people really buy your tops off ebay? I wonder why someone would spend the money just to get it back. does the box top program pay the ten cents for the coupon and then match it to? if the just pay the coupon worth that doesn't seem worth doing to buy them.

Schools often have competitions to see which student, class, grade etc. can collect the most. The prize or being "the winner" is apparently worth spending the money to buy them.

I teach first grade and I actually had a parent quit PTA because she demanded a recount when my class didn't win one semester. She had sent in a lot of BTFE and was sure someone had miscounted. When they let her know the thousands of BTFE had been grouped together for the school, she was so livid her child was not going to be a "winner", she quit PTA. My response (to myself): Now I get why your child behaves the way she does.

I do want to let you know that you should be able to participate in Campbells lables for education though. I run a family daycare out of my home and we qualify. I know clfe is not as popular as btfe, but they have a nice prize catalog with some good stuff items for education in them, also they seem to do a lot of promotions on how to get bonus points.
Like if you like them on facebook 100 points, if you do certain community projects like picking up trash, more points there, when you register early for the new year, i think you get 100 bonus points. It is something worth looking into.

This is from their website:
