Totino's and Box Tops for Education Giveaway!



Guess what? I haven't purchased Totino's Pizza Rolls for over a year. I used to pick them up occasionally when they were part of those "10 for $10, get $3 off instantly" promotions at Kroger but, alas, we no longer live anywhere near a Kroger. While my family hasn't suffered as a result of not having these snacks around, I will say that my middle child- my former micropreemie- absolutely adores the things. I think she prefers the little bits of meat in these snacky-size rolls to the bigger chunks I'm apt to put on my homemade pizza.

Convenience snack foods aren't typical fare around here, but I'm also not above taking a hand when I get it! I'm practical and easy-going enough to know that a couple of pizza rolls are not an indication that my children aren't fed a balanced diet.

I was excited to learn that Totino's is now helping to support our schools!

  • Totino's Party Pizzas will now carry Box Tops for Education.
  • Through September 14, Totino's is offering TWO Box Tops for Education on every Totino's product.
  • Totino's is giving away 10,000 Bonus Box Tops, school supplies, and free Totino's snacks to eight lucky schools through the "Make School a Better Place Sweepstakes!"

To enter the sweepstakes, please visit here.

Want even better odds? Stay right here for a chance to win a prize pack containing:
  • A backpack (it's a cool backpack too... no big logos or anything that would turn your kid off.;))
  • School supplies (including glue sticks, highlighters, a calculator, and more!)
  • Coupons for Totino's Party Pizza and Pizza Rolls Snacks
  • 25 Bonus Box Tops (that's money for your school!!!)

  1. I homeschool our children, but a tip that I've found that works well for us is to ease into it. We don't go gung-ho the first week and I gradually add each subject to get them into the swing of things again.

  9. My kids are grown, but with a granddaughter coming to visit soon, I know the Totino's pizza and Pizza Rolls and school supplies would definitely be appreciated! When my three kids were in school, I tried to get enough sleep myself, too - it helps fight the grouchies.

  11. I try to establish a routine pretty early on and stick to it. Meal planning allows me to be free to help with assignments. Having set days alloted to do specific things mean I know what hours are carved out ahead of time and so does my family.

    My youngest loves totinos rolls as a snack food. It's one of his favorite treats.

  12. Each of my kids have an in and out box on our counter. That way when they come home, they just put the papers in the in box for me to look at, then I put them in the out box for them to grab in the morning. Works for us!

  14. I take the week before school starts off. It's not an option for everyone, but it allows me a little sanity.

  17. I like to leave the tv off in the mornings during the back to school time. It seems to slow down the kids and then we end up rushing to get ready. When there are less distractions, everything seems to go smoother!

  19. I try to take a quick nap before everyone starts getting home from school. I lay down when the youngest lays down, otherwise I'd have no energy to spare.

  27. We homeschool, so for us the easiest way is to ease into it by only starting with the basics, then adding subjects as we get our routine worked out.

  30. I like to get the kids into a bedtime routine at least a couple weeks before. I also like to give baths, get lunches ready, and clothes picked out the night before so the morning won't be so hectic.

  31. What helps me is making a calendar with all the activities, color-coded by child. At a glance, we can tell who needs to be where and when. Makes it a lot easier and less of a chance of mis-communication (who's transporting who where?)
    Thanks for the giveaway!
