Or that they have a recipe for Orange Teriyaki Beef with Noodles? Yum-Yum! Well you must know about the games you can play to earn a boxtop for IACS, right? And by now you’ve already started using the links in the boxtop marketplace to shop at your favorite stores. I earned IACS $1 in e-boxtops today buying ink for my printer. Have you printed your February vacation photos yet? Use the Shutterfly, Snapfish, Target or Walgreens links to earn e-boxtops for your school. When you start making your summer travel plans don’t forget they have links for Hotwire, Orbitz, Seaworld and even some hotel chains. My sister in law is expecting her first child anyday now and I already have started perusing OshKosh B’Gosh, GAP, The Children’s Place and Babies R Us for cute outfits. My girls would rather I click the Justice, Aeropostale or American Eagle links. My hubby asked me to use the Walmart link to purchase some dog food and vacuum bags for our house. Aww the housework never ends. Whatever your need check out www.btfe.com . Shop to the marketplace to peruse over 250 retailers or find a great recipe for dinner. Thank you for supporting the IACS!
