I spent all weekend shopping and hunting for deals. It is hard not to buy when there are so many great deals out there! One good aspect about my spending spree was that I was able to donate to my son’s school at the same time! How you ask!

I shopped though the Box Tops for Education Marketplace! I am sure many of you have heard of clipping Box Tops and sending them to school with your child so your child’s school can earn money BUT did you know that you can also shop at many of your favorite stores and earn points for your child’s school as well!

General Mills’ Box Tops for Education Marketplace is an online shopping portal featuring more than 175 retailers, including retailers such as Target, Bloomingdale’s and Best Buy, Crate & Barrel, Gap, GapKids, GapMaternity. (Click Marketplace for a full list of merchants.) With categories ranging from apparel and accessories to electronics and toys to travel, home and books and magazines, there is truly something for everyone on holiday gift lists!

This weekend, I shopped  at places like Kohls and Best Buy and earned points in minutes! I bought my mother’s present at Kohls ( free shipping and 20% off!) though the Box Tops Marketplaceand earned 2 points for every 10 dollars!

Seriously, using the marketplace is simple. Head over and create an account if you need to, then find the store you want to shop at and click! Then you will be transferred over to that site and you can get started shopping! Once you buy, your school of choice will be creditied!

If by chance you do not have a school to donate to, you can always pick a inner city school or low income school in your area!
