Stock Up On Box Tops for Education Products at Jewel-Osco's Huge Sale Through 10/14 #StockUpSale #ad #BoxTops

How to Turn a Bag of Cardboard Scraps into New School Supplies
(or bypass the cardboard altogether and do it on line) 

I'm a mom of 2 public school children in the beleaguered, chronically underfunded Chicago Public School System. Our middle school collects Box Tops to trade for money for supplies they're sorely in need of, and when everyone clips a few boxes it adds up to big benefits for schools in a pretty painless way--up to $20,000 annually per school big.

Jewel Osco Stock Up Sale Is ON Through October 14th #StockUpSale #ad

Fall isn't just the time of year for chipmunks and other critters to stock up for the imminent winter. People can get in on the action too. And we don't even have to hunt and gather, unless you count hunting for bargains and gathering great deals at Jewel Osco!





Disclosure:  ChiIL Mama is happy to partner up with Jewel Osco once again and we have been compensated for sharing this information with our readers. As always, all opinions are our own.

SAVE BIG and squirrel away loads of your family's favorites during the Stock Up Sale, which runs through October 14th. We'll be running updates and our Jewel Osco favs for 2 weeks, so check back with ChiIL Mama early and often. 



Customize It
Here are a few sale items we're particularly stoked about. You can go on the Jewel Osco web site and click your favorites and the site will circle them in red, so you can find them again easily! Pretty cool, huh.

*Deals featured below are good until 10/7


It's apple season, ya know. And Michigan apples are phenomenal. We've already munched through a big bag of McIntosh Apples and the latest batch we bought after that are not long for this world. My kids dig apples and it's a healthy snack I can feel great about.



With a competitive team gymnast in the house, we go through Gatorade like you wouldn't believe. So, when I see a great price, you better believe I stock up.



Keeping up with the kiddos and their early morning schedules requires caffeine... LOTS of caffeine. If you agree with me, DOUBLESHOT is your friend! I really like the tasty Refreshers too, and drink those all day. I'm one of those morning people who can't make coffee before I've had my morning coffee. I do silly things like leave the filter in the sink, start it without water, and so on. These are a foolproof way to wake up on the run and avoid DIY coffee disasters.


Salty sweet salty sweet. Yes, salty IS sweet. And the Blackhawks season is starting imminently. So after you've been all healthy and good and eaten your yogurt and fresh, local apples, treat yourself to some snacks while you watch your favorite sport or check out a movie.
