Safeway 2 Ways 2 Earn $25 Giveaway

By now you've surely heard of, and possibly participated in the Box Tops for education program, which has been around for years. Even though my kids have previously been too young, and are now being homeschooled, I've saved box tops for my nieces, who attend public schools.
I was recently contacted by My Blog Spark about the 2 ways to 2 earn program, hosted by the Safeway family of stores.
Here's an excerpt of the info they sent me about the program:

The Safeway family of stores (which includes Dominick´s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, and Genuardi´s) is making it simple to give back with "2 Ways 2 Earn" cash for your schools with Box Tops for Education and the "10% Goes Back to Schools" program.


Box Tops for Education has already given away over $320 million to help the more than 69 thousand schools participating. And if that wasn´t enough, earning Box Tops is even easier this year with four new brands participating in the program: Progresso Soup, Totino´s Pizza, Betty Crocker Cake Mixes and Gold Medal Flour.

To help your local schools even further just look for the "10% Goes Back to Schools" yellow school bus tags on over 2,000 of your favorite items throughout Safeway from August 11th - September 14th. When you purchase participating products with your Club Card, Safeway will give 10% of the purchase price to the local school of your choice.
Here´s how it works:

Check your receipt from August 11 - September 14. The total will be updated each time you shop.

Beginning on September 18, a redemption code will be printed at the bottom of your receipt.

Visit backtoschools.escrip.com before October 13 to choose your favorite participating local school, then simply enter your redemption code to make your donation.

To learn more about Box Tops for Education and Safeway´s "10% Goes Back to Schools" program, visit www.2ways2earn.com. And while you´re there, don´t forget to enter the Safeway Bonus Box Tops Sweepstakes for a chance to win 1,000 Bonus Box Tops for the participating school of your choice!

Pretty cool, right? You get to help out a school of your choice, just by buying things you probably already buy. (Even if you homeschool, you almost certainly have nieces, nephews, neighbors, etc whose school could use the extra help.)

My blog spark provided me with a $25 Safeway gift card (also valid at Dominick´s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, and Genuardi´s) to purchase my favorite Box Tops items, as well as a Bonus Box Tops certificate with a value of 50 Bonus Box Tops. They also want to give the same package away to one of my readers.

One winner will receive a $25 Safeway gift card, and a Bonus Box Top Certificate, worth 50 Bonus Box Tops.

For the first mandatory entry, let me know which Box Tops for Education products you'´ll be looking out for, with the Safeway "10% Back to Schools" yellow school bus tags.

For additional, optional entries, you may do any of the following. Please be sure to leave a separate comment for each, as well as a way to contact you if you are the winner.
