    Local schools can use them to purchase school supplies, new playground equiptment etc. for that school. Alot of people here on the board trade for them to send to their childs school.

    Some schools have contests...example: whoever turns in the most BTFE's get a bike. A local store will donate the bike....that is why you might see someone willing to actually pay a little bit for the BTFE's and lots of people are willing to trade for them.

    I normally send them to my kids school. Right now we are sending all that we have to the Joplin School District to help them instead..since so many of their schools were destroyed.

    I give them to my sister in law who teaches at a local elementary school, they are worth 10 cents each to the school when they redeem them and can supplement what they need with that money.

    If you don't have children at a school that collects them, there is no doubt a school in your area that does and would love to have them!


    Coupons are found money - who walks by money on the ground??

    I have kids but I don't send them to their school. They are not "big" on using them around here. We have a coordinator but there is absolutely not contests or newsletters or anything....Maybe i should become coordinator...Anyway, i use them to trade for coupons I want.

    I split them between my nieces' and nephews' schools. When they get older, my church accepts them to use for their school.

    I throw them away. I don't know much about how they work, but when I asked a couple of local schools about it, all I got was what seemed like a confused, "a what, now?" I didn't know you could trade them. I've thrown a bunch out.
