Extreme couponing is the latest craze to hit homes, grocery stores, and reality TV. But even if clipping coupons isn’t your thing, you can still save money and help raise funds for missions each time you head to the supermarket.

Taylor Christian School in McAllen, Texas, has been using groceries as a fundraiser for years, and missionary Betsy Tarr is carrying on the tradition.

Here’s a quick look at each program and how you can get involved.

Labels for Education® (www.labelsforeducation.com or www.elabelsforeducation.com): Clip and save UPC codes and beverage caps from products including Campbell’s®, Glad®, Pepperidge Farm®, Pop Secret®, Prego®, and V8®. Labels have values of one, five, or 10 points.

Box Tops for Education (www.boxtops4education.com): Clip box tops from brands such as Betty Crocker®, Green Giant®, Hefty®, Kleenex®, Nestle®, Pillsbury®, and Ziploc®. You can also earn eBoxTops when you shop online at stores like Lands’ End, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble. Taylor Christian School will receive 10 cents for every qualifying box top.

Tyson Project A+™ (www.tyson.com/projectaplus): Clip Tyson Project A+™ labels and send them to Taylor. The school will redeem them for cash. Each Tyson label is worth 24 cents.
