Each school year, many different events and fundraisers take place. These are organized to help our local school get things they may need for the best learning environment for our kids.
One of these events that takes place is Box Tops for Education. If you have school aged kids, then I think you may have heard of Box Tops for Education.
But if you haven’t and would like to learn more, then read on.
Box Tops for Education offers a Clip program that allows you to earn cash for your school by clipping the Official Box Tops for Education “Box Tops” from the packages of hundreds of purchased participating products.
Our school actually does this earlier in the school year. We cut these labels off General Mills products all the time. They can be collected all year long to send in during this time. I spoke a bit about Box Tops in the past here.
All products found at Walmart
But recently, I purchased a few more General Mills products at Walmart to add to my Box Top Clip collection. What did I get? I bought Honey Nut Cheerios™ – Family Size, Yoplait® Original Fridge Pack – 4 Strawberry / 4 Harvest Peach, Mott’s Medleys® Fruit Snacks – Family Size 40 ct.,Old El Paso™ Taco Dinner Kit and Nature Valley™ Crunchy Oats ‘n Honey Granola Bars – Value Pack 24 ct. All General Mills products our family enjoys here often. So, of course, I added to our Box Top Clips just from these 4 products.
But now, you can also earn even more cash to help your school get what it needs through the Box Tops for Education® Bonus App.
Yes, there is an app now for just this purpose. This app is available on both iTunes and Google Play.

The app and the Box Top Clips can work hand-in-hand, because you can earn Bonus Box Tops in the Box Tops Bonus App in combination with the on-pack Box Tops clips and any other coupon, discount, store program or promotion.
The app there is no clipping or storage issues. But with the clipping, you’d be surprised how many great products have Box Tops included on them. Plus once you start clipping, you will also be surprised how quickly these Box Top Clips can add up.
But how do I store these Box Tops Clips throughout the year?
I decorated a wooden box (found at Walmart) with Washi Tape to store our Box Top clips. See I love decorating and creating with Washi Tape. So, this is a fun way to use Washi Tape to store and hold those Box Tops.

Jhanis says
This is actually the first time I’ve heard of the Box Tops for Education and I think it’s such a great program. I wish we had something like this, our local schools could use the help!
Janine says
Jhanis, I couldn’t agree more that Box Tops for Education really is a terrific program to help all schools here. Sorry to hear they don’t have this in your country though.
Dara says
We do collect box tops and I just put them into a plastic container in our drawer but I love how you decorated the box! And thanks for the info about the app as well.
Janine says
I totally used to just put them in a plastic bag to store. But this really helps with the storage of the clips and also makes it that much more fun for us collecting them, too 🙂
William Holland says
This took me back to when I was a pre-teen. My mom worked in a grocery store,and I use to clip coupons and have her redeem them for me for cash, which one could do back then. I made decent money doing that. 🙂
Happy Thursday Janine!
Janine says
Love that this took you back a bit and my mom and grandmother also clipped coupons back in the day. So we most certainly have that in common. Happy Thursday to you, too Bill 🙂
Diane Roark says
Janine,
I love your decorated box and what a cool app. I can see where the app would be extremely helpful.
Thanks for sharing!
Diane Roark
Janine says
Thanks Diane and yes the app is super helpful indeed 🙂
J. Ivy Boyter says
I ALWAYS forget about the Box Tops! Cute DIY idea to store them for those who remember 😉
Janine says
I have had a few of those moments myself. But try my best and loving our new storage box, too now 🙂
AnnMarie John says
I collect them for my kids’ school. They do help out and whenever we buy any box with box tops, I generally put them in a Ziploc bag, but I’m loving this so much better!
Janine says
Aw, I was so with you on the ziplock bags. Totally used them to store before I made this box, too 🙂
Jen says
OK, your storage solution is so much cooler than my zip bag full of box tops! I am so making one!
Janine says
Aw, thanks and so excited you are making one now, too 😉
Kristi Campbell says
So cute. I put them in a glass in the cabinet and send them in when it feels like there are “enough” but fun to make a space for them. Schools count on them for sure and this is brilliant.
Janine says
Sounds like that does work for you. But thank you also for your kind words on my Box Tops Craft 😉
Tamara says
That box is awesome!! So gorgeous. And I had no idea there was an app. I remember Box Tops as a kid and they have grown with the times!
Janine says
Aw, thank you my friend and always happy to share with you!! 😉
Monica @HappyandBlessedHome.com says
You work magic with Washi tape girl! What talent! Pinned!
Janine says
Aw, thank you so much and seriously love creating Washi Tape. And also thank you for pinning and all your support always <3
Schnelle Acevedo says
This is so great!! I used to find random places to put my box tops when my school was doing the program, of course I couldn’t remember where it was when it was time to collect!
Janine says
Nellie, I had a similar issue and was hoping this would at the very least help me, too 🙂
