Box tops for Education
Box tops is now moving towards an electronic format. The phase out has started and during
this phase out we can actually receive double! The way to do this is continue to clip the old
box tops. The new ones say “scan your receipt”. However, if the product you purchase has a
box top you clip, you can clip it AND scan your receipt! We will get double credit! Continue to
clip valid, non expired box tops and place in a baggie. Send to school with your child and have
them place them in the Box Top Bot.
