Grocery Stores:Grocery stores often offer savings programs for schools. Stores vary throughout the country so we recommend you contact your local stores and ask them if they have or would be willing to run a savings program for your school. Here are a few:
- Shaw's (Star Market): Offers a Receipts Rewards program where eligible non-profits can collect Shaw's and Star receipts, send them in to Shaw's, and receive a check for 1% of the eligible register receipt amount. There is no limit on the amount of register receipts collected. Ask family, friends, business associates, relatives, and neighbors to save their receipts for you. Perhaps even place a glass jar on your work desk with a "Shaw's Receipts" sign reminding co-workers to drop them in. Email shaws.receiptrewards@shaws.com or call 508-313-3939.
- Market Day: Market Day lets you choose a school to receive profit from your order. Register at marketday.com.

Can & Bottle Recycling: If your state recycles bottles and cans, have your school collect them and turn them in at a bottle redemption center for cash. Or, ask that parents return them to the store and donate the receipt to the PTO which can then be turned in for cash at the store by the PTO.
Here's a Tip: Start a student volunteer group at your school and let them get together periodically to trim, count, and check expiration dates on labels so they are ready for mailing.
