Back to School With Box Tops and Food Lion
/“This post has been sponsored by Box Tops™. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”
My children will be heading back to school this month and I’m really excited! Life is seemingly getting back to normal so I’m jumping back into my old routines and that means having easy grab and go snacks and foods for my crew. We are a large family of 6, and my children and husband are ALWAYS hungry. I stopped by our local Food Lion to pick up a few of our favorite General Mills products to help me get started.
Did you know that General Mills and Box Tops for Education™ products go hand in hand? I remember spending hours with my mom cutting Box Tops for my sister and I to take to school during my childhood but now Box Tops has gone DIGITAL, yay! All you have to do is download the app in your app store to get started and follow the steps below:
1. Look for specially marked Unlock Brighter Futures packages of Box Tops participating products at Food Lion.
2. Scan the QR code on pack and enter the locker combo in the Box Tops app for a chance to win.
3. Unlock a chance at rewards for you or your school.
4. Scan your qualifying grocery receipt in the Box Tops app to earn even more!

Food Lion is known for having everyday low prices and this helps to keep my budget intact. I enjoy visiting their website (www.foodlion.com) to check out their weekly ads to help maximize my savings. I create a list and prepare to head to the store.
Here’s what a typical back-to-school shopping list looks like for me:
· Bread
· Lunch Meat
· Sliced Cheese
· Yoplait™ Strawberry GoGurt
· Nature Valley™ Oats 'N Honey Crunchy Bars
· Annie’s™ Mac & Cheese
· Fruit
· Eggs
· Bottled Water
Most days, my children are packing lunch because they are such picky eaters so I like to have all of their favorites. The Yoplait™ Strawberry GoGurt is one of my go-tos; freeze it the night before and it will thaw out by lunch time!
We also enjoy Annie’s™ Mac & Cheese, I like that they come in single serve options and the boxes. The mac and cheese can be easily served as a snack or side dish and this is a #momwin for me.
This year my goal is to become more involved in my children’s school’s needs. I plan to do that through participating in the Box Tops program. I may not always be able to show up physically, but I can choose how and where to spend my money.
Don’t have a school to support? You can find a school in need through the app. Box Tops mission is to help the school community get what it needs for every child and YOU get to be a part of that!
