School Fundraising with Shoparoo
Schools are starting up again, and for many parents that means participation in fundraising. I recently stumbled onto a new school fundraising option: Shoparoo. Shoparoo is an app available for both the iPhone and Android phones.
Shoparoo is very simple:
Sign up and select the school of your choice.
Shop at your local grocery, supercenter, or drugstore.
Take pictures of your receipts and upload them to Shoparoo.
Roo Points are granted based on the receipt totals:
Less than $10 = 10 Roo Points
$10 – $50 = 20 Roo Points
$50 – $100 = 30 Roo Points
$100+ = 40 Roo Points
There are also oppertunities to earn bonus points for your school. For example, one current offer is “Win $10,000 for your school plus 50 bonus Roo Points when you purchase 2 or more qualifying Quaker products at Walmart.”
Note: If you submit your receipts to ReceiptHog, you will NOT be able to submit them to Shoparoo too. They do share a database, and the second submission will be tagged as a Duplicate Receipt.
Shoparoo does not require the school to have a coordinator either.

Baby Shower Gift Idea
I wanted to put together a gift basket for a co-worker and his wife who are expecting. I decided to put my coupon experience to work. I thought about all of the things we use or used for our little ones and made a list of things that would come in handy. I waited for each of the items to be on sale and paired the sales with coupons.
I bought a basket at Michael’s when I had a 40% off one item coupon. I’m not a big fan of making a gift basket with cellophane, so I thought I’d try something new, tulle. It is light weight, it comes in a variety of colors, you can see through it, and it’s affordable.
To assemble the basket, I lined the basket with the tulle. I then placed two receiving blankets in to cover the bottom and sides. Then I arranged each of the items in the basket.
Simply pull the tulle up and gather it at the top. Tie it off with some decorative ribbon (purchased at Michael’s with a 40% off coupon), and trim the tulle as needed.
