Easy donations to DSA for the frugal

[Howard Partner]

If you are a bit of a cheapskate like me, or shall we say just frugal, Harris Teeter has a couple of promotions going this week that will allow you to donate $5 or more to DSA, at no cost to you, via 'Boxtops for Education', today through next Tuesday only!

If you buy 8 items with the 'Boxtops for Education' label, (like General Mills cereal, Kleenex, or Progresso soup and others), you get a $5 value 'Boxtops for Education' certificate at check-out.

Furthermore, there is a coupon in the H Teeter flyer for $5 off a grocery purchase of $25 or more. And 14 oz Cheerios are on sale at $2.50 a box, and each 14 oz box currently has 2-10 cent 'Box top for Education' labels. So if you were to buy 10 boxes of Cheerios, your cost (with the $5 discount coupon) would be $2 per box. As each box has 2 10 cent coupons, you would accumulate $2 of cereal 'Boxtops for Education' plus the $5 certificate, or a total of $7 to donate to DSA.

If you don't really want 10 boxes of Cheerios, split an order with a friend, or buy some of that other stuff. You need to buy 8 items with 'Boxtops for Education' for the $5 certificate, and need to spend $25 to get the $5 off coupon for yourself.

Friends of DSA:
If you have not done so already, please RE- link your Harris Teeter VIC card to DSA. All links were broken in May and it is time to RE-LINK for this school year. Our number is "3022" and the store cashier can do it or you can do it online. Ask your neighbors, friends and family to link to DSA to help us reach our goal of 500 links this year - so far we have 357. You can link online at:
