Box Tops for Education Goes Digital

I took the boys on our first back to school shopping trip at Walmart. Today we loaded up on school snacks, breakfast food and school supplies…among other household shopping…and using the new Box Tops For Education mobile app while we were still in the checkout at Walmart, we earned Double Box Tops for our school without any clipping (or remembering to bring to school)! Right now Walmart Box Tops will earn DOUBLE and it really adds up! We spent around $50 and earned $2.30! Just think if all 500 kids in our school also bought their snacks and breakfast cereal at Walmart this week that would be $1,150 for our school in one fell swoop! You guys that’s a lot of money! I hope the other parents at school take advantage!

Walmart Double Box Tops for Education

Do you clip Box Tops? I clipped them as a kid and “clip” them now with my kids digitally! I’m excited about the new program because its SO MUCH EASIER so I think so many more families will participate thus. making it easier than ever to raise even more money for our schools! Walmart’s Double Box Tops is a sweet deal to earn even more money for school from back to school shopping this year!!

Earning Box Tops Money is Easier than Ever!

The Box Tops For Education program is going all digital!! They launched a new mobile app that is super easy to use – my six year old does our scanning! Once downloaded, we just scan the receipt and earn money for our school each time we shop, he scans it in the store before we even leave so we don’t forget, lose the receipt, etc. It is a great little activity for kiddos to do themselves after shopping, Gman has been scanning ours every time we go to Walmart (Double Box Top points, hello!).

Impact of Box Tops

In 2019, America’s schools have earned more than $913 million! The new Box Tops app will simplify using the program to earn for your school.

Each Box Top earns $0.10 for your school, and with Double Box Tops at Walmart right now that’s $0.20 per item! So tell Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Babysitters…anyone who isn’t raising money for their own school…when they shop they can scan their receipt and help your child’s school! After downloading the app, you simply select which school you wish to send your earnings.

You can log in and see the year-to-date earnings under the “My School Earnings” tab for your school!

What kinds of Items have Box Tops?

There are TONS of food items, household products, back to school supplies, and more on the Walmart Box Tops program! Today we bought the following items at Walmart, for example:

  • Honey Nut Cheerios
  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch
  • GoGurt Yogurt Tubes
  • Nestle Pure Life Bottled Waters
  • Annie’s Mac & Cheese
  • Paper Mate Mechanical Pencils
  • Lysol Wipes

That’s right, even some of your school supplies at Walmart can earn Double Box Tops cash for school! Love these Paper Mate mechanical pencils, we refill and reuse all year!

The awesome part of the new Box Tops for Education mobile app is that even if you didn’t even realize an item you bought participates in Box Tops, you still earn because you just have to scan your receipt (which makes it a super easy one-step for Grandparents or neighbors to help your school!)….so make sure you tell Grandma!

What Do The New Box Tops Look Like?

They look a lot like the old ones…but instead of an expiration date they say SCAN.

Walmart is a super easy one-stop shopping- if you shop there then you know (and if its been awhile, trust me, go check it out again, they have a few lines of clothing I’m loving for me too!)…Walmart has it ALL (and then some) for Back to School! If you download the BTFE mobile app and try it out let me know!! You’re going to love how easy it is, I know it!

    We just learned about the switch! I will say. I’m bummed because it seems like scanning the receipt is an added step that is easy to overlook. (How many times do I just stuff my receipts somewhere and forget about them!??) I did remember today after my Costco trip and saved $3.10! So cool.

      I can see how receipts could be lost, that’s true…I was thinking it would be easier for my Mom (Grandma) because I know she won’t really clip and mail coupons but she would scan to help since that just takes her one second and no secondary action…guess we’ll see how it plays out. I’m just going to scan mine right when I get into the car!

    Wow it’s awesome that Box Tops for Education is still around! I just graduated from college, and I remember that it was a thing when I was in elementary school. The scan your receipt option is definitely an upgrade from when I was in school, though. 😉
