Another short hiatus in the Chistmas in July series so that I can bring you this important information:

It's almost that time again! I love getting ready to get new school supplies and can't wait for the list to come out each year. If you are in this category - or even if you are on the other end of the spectrum - try this sweepstakes from Nestle where you can enter daily to win $5000 for back to school essentials, a $2000 Literacy Grant for your school and a Mead messenger bag full of Five-Star brand school supplies. Check it out and enter every day.

Also, Box Tops for Education has begun their Better Back to School Sweepstakes and they are giving away 5000 to 12 winners. Enter every day until October 4th. Not a bad way for your school to start out the year if you win!

Is your school trying really hard to make it's Box Top goal by the end of the year? I can only imagine because I know our's is. Box Tops is working hard to help us out! The Racing Mom Sweepstakes is giving away 10,000 Box Tops - 5,000 1st prize, 3,000 2nd prize and 2,000 3rd prize! You can enter every day in the month of May and no purchase is necessary. Start your engines and help get your school across the finish line!

Restaurant.com has another great deal. $25 certificates for $2 until March 15th with the code: MENU. Check out the details for each restaurant carefully before you purchase so that you know the fine print. Most of the places we've been to require a minimum purchase or minimum number of diners. But with Mother's Day and Graduation and Father's Day coming up these can come in handy. 

Just a quick reminder, if you haven't been to Walgreen's yet this week try to fit it into your schedule especially if you are planning to stock up on Huggies products. Those wonderful high high value coupons expire shortly so don't let them go to waste. Besides, this week if you spend $25 on Kimberly-Clark products [of which Huggies is just one] then you get $10 in Register Rewards. Don't forget, too, that for every pack you buy you get a Box Top for Education and you can get money back from Caregivers Marketplace. These are all ways to help ourselves and others as our babies grow.

I made one trip Tuesday night and got 3 packs of diapers but the wipes were sold out. I fear this is what I'll find now that it's later in the week. One thing I'm finding with the Natural Fit Huggies that I've already bought is that there is another coupon waiting inside for me. Have you found this to be true? Some have been $2 off Pull-Ups and some are 75 cents for wipes. Either way is a wonderful way to keep the coupon train moving. Very Cool!

For the month of March you can enter daily to help your school win extra Box Tops for Education. In fact, you can win A LOT of Box Tops. Four schools will win 10, 000 Box Tops!!!!

Enter daily at on the Box Tops for Education site and enter the UPC code: 42800-71827. 

Just add this to the things you do when you sit down. And to make it easier to remember I'm going to add this to the right hand side of the page under the label marked "Stickies". That way we'll all remember!! Now - go get 'em!!

Lots to share with you today, so let's get started: 

First of all, Winter is upon us in a big way - in fact, I just saw about 3 flurries when I took out the trash a few minutes ago! Become a member of Right@Home [an SC Johnson program] and if you are one of the first 10,ooo people to sign up you can get a FREE Escape from Winter which includes: Glade PlugIns Scented warmer, Hawaiian Breeze refill and a coupon good for future refills.  Definitely a Cool Idea to lift our spirits as the weather gets wicked.

Box Tops for Education have been around for years and odds are that you have seen them on items that you purchase even if you don't have school aged kids. I find them on the Huggies and Pull Ups I buy, muffin mix, frozen biscuits - everywhere - and even though our kids aren't in school my husband is a teacher and I send them to school with him. I'm also registered online with Box Tops and during the month of February they are having the "I Love My School" sweepstakes. You can enter every day until March 1st for a chance to win an additional 1,000 Box Tops for your school. 

What do you need to do? If you are already registered with Box Tops, all you need to do is go to the site each day and login, fill in your information and enter. If you are not registered, you'll need to do that and I think you might have to assign your Box Tops to a school in your area. There's a zip code look-up feature if you don't know the exact name of the school or the address. It's easy. Really. And definitely a Cool Idea even if it's a long shot that you're school might win. Spread the word because the more moms and dads and grandparents and friends and adopted aunts and uncles that are entering the sweepstakes for our kids the more likely they might be the beneficiaries of the extra 1,000 Box Tops that are being given away this month. There are 28 schools that will get these Bonus Box Tops so enter every day!!

Campbell's Labels for Education has been around for 35 Years and has given "families and community members a way to support support their local schools".  Labels are found on Campbell's soup can's, Goldfish crackers and other products and are collected and turned in to schools the same way that Box Tops for Education are. One additional opportunity with Campbell's is the eLabel. If you register your Kroger card on their site they will track your relevant purchases and credit your account so that you don't have to clip the labels.  eLabel points are credited to your school on a monthly basis and the account says to continue to clip labels and barcodes - so I don't see anything wrong in doing both. 

Once again, if you don't have kids in school or preschool yet go ahead and register and send these label to your neighbors school and register your Kroger card to pick up the extra eLabels. Currently, the eLabel program has been extended until June 30, 2009 which makes me pretty happy, especially since as the mom of two toddlers we pretty consistently buy Goldfish crackers which are an Campbell's label product!! 

These companies are trying to help make it easier on our schools and if we are buying these products anyway take the extra moment to clip the Box Top or Campbell's logo respectively and turn it in to your school of choice. These are Cool Ideas that will benefit us as parents and as a community.
