(It's only 50¢, in fact.) But you know, 50¢ is 50¢.<br /><br />Additionally, if you habitually buy <a href="http://www.boxtops4education.com/earn/clip/Brands.aspx">any of the products listed here</a> and have Box Tops floating around that you end up tossing (the only product I can think of off the top of my head is any cereal by General Mills, but there's a bunch of them), and you'd like to get rid of them by mailing them to me, I'll pay for the stamp. (Well, I'll mail some stamps to you, anyway.)<br /><br />Poke me if you want information about their school (for shopping the Marketplace, I'll contact you in PMs) or my address (for the physical Box Tops). These little bits of 10¢ here, or 5% there (2% of a computer off of Dell.com, for example, is a lot!) <i>really</i> add up.<br /><br />Or, if you want to help but do not want to spend money, you can also enter in <a href="http://www.boxtops4education.com/earn/bonus/Default.aspx">one of the Sweepstakes</a>. This doesn't require you to sign up for their email, I believe.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=conuly&ditemid=1741451" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
