| 1077.1 | Ask the schools for labels | ABACUS::JANEB | See it happen => Make it happen | Mon Jan 15 1996 10:44 | 16 |
| My experience with Betty Crocker coupons is that the discount you get
by using them with the catalog is offset by the shipping costs and
you'd do just as well going to your local large store, even better on sale
days.
My mother-in-law saved these for years and they used to be a really
good deal. She shares the above opinion now. I haven't heard of any
other uses for them.
My school has a deal with a whole set of products (I can't remember the
parent company, but it includes spaghettios!). The school hands out the
list of products each year - I don't have one here but if you call the
local schools you may find this easily.
Good luck!

| 1077.2 | Labels for Education by Campbells | VIVE::STOLICNY | | Mon Jan 15 1996 10:58 | 10 |
|
The parent company for the "Labels for Education" program - which I
believe is what is referenced in .1 - is Campbells. There are alot
of products eligible for that program that do not bear the Campbells
logo (Spaghettios, Pepperidge Farm, etc).
My understanding of the program is that it is a truly "free" merchandise -
label fronts are exchanged for books, sports equipment, etc.

| I know we save the tabs off aluminun cans and give them to my Mom.
She knows of a organization (in Florida) that donates time for
kidney dialysis patients (so it's free time for them). I don't
how it all works out. I just save them and hand them over to her.

| I believe the tabs-for-dialysis story is urban legend.

| Well Gerald, it is actually true. My Mom was told at one time it
was a hoax so she spoke with a man up at Camp Sunshine, in Maine
This man, Rocky, actually used them at University Hospital in Boston
to get time on the dialysis for his son.
Camp Sunshine is a summer camp for children with life-threatening
diseases. They are located at the Point Sebago resort. They collect
the tabs there.
The people in Florida are the VFW.

| 1077.6 | They use'em in Michigan | ESBTST::CARLSON | | Thu Jan 25 1996 15:39 | 5 |
| And my mother-in-law also collects for the local hospital in
Iron Mountain , MI for the same reason. I can't quite make the
connection as to who converts the "tabs to time" though.
