#CostcoBoxTops
School starts in 3 weeks!!!! There is so much left to do before Oakland and I start back! We didn’t really stick to a certain routine this summer other than eating 3 meals a day!! With school around the corner we will be starting a routine very quickly! A routine can be as simple as completing a few things. Oakland is only 6 so there is only so much he can do independently . The routine checklist I created below features attainable things he can do. His routine can be done in 30 minutes or less. Our school is about a 30 minute drive so our routine can’t take a long time.
There are so many options for breakfast and I always look for products that give back with my purchase!
I have created a free printable for you to use! I know my checklist will be laminated and put by the front door! Oakland will be able to check everything off he did that morning before we leave. This will hopefully help with not forgetting anything and also set Oakland’s day up for success!

Certain General Mills products will be participating in the Golden Box Tops Challenge! Costco is the perfect place for all of those back to school breakfasts and lunches! All while entering to win an additional 100 eBoxTops with the Costco Golden Box Tops Challenge!
See the participating products here! I chose Honey Nut Cheerios because my children LOVE them and so does my husband and I!
Not only do you establish a back to school routine with awesome products but you are giving back to your child’s school! As a 1st grade teacher and my son’s teacher I definitely encourage buying specialty marked Box Top products!

We have a Box Top jar in our house! After we cut them out we place them in the jar and then when it’s full we take them to school! This would be a great activity for you and your child to create and implement whenever you get Box Tops!
I am so aware now of the products I buy. As a teacher I know how much school’s can benefit from Box Tops and so should you! It only takes a few extra seconds to rip or cut those Box Tops of your products at home!
Let’s partner together and help schools out! Head to your nearest Costco today!
Do you save your Box Tops?? You totally should and if you don’t you can mail them to me! 😉

Jamie Simons says
Love this. I don’t have kids yet (I’m pregnant with my first right now!), but I work in a school and always save my box tops! And I love the checklist – it’s definitely important to have a good morning routine, especially when school is back in session. It just makes it much easier to get things going everyday!

I haven’t saved any box tops but I’m going to start. Hopefully we can cruise right into our back to “homeschool” routine with ease.

Great post! I’ve been saving our box tops throughout the summer and if I forget, my kids quickly remind me and are really into it. We started school TODAY (eeek), and I’m so determined to stick with our new routine!

I start school meetings next week then officially begin class on August 15th! I’m actually excited to get back into my school routine, and I LOVE starting my day with Cherrios. I think Multigrain is my favorite.
