Grocery Store Till Tape Totals for 2011

THANK YOU to everyone who puts their grocery till tape into one of our boxes at the local grocery stores . . . . they all add up!

Here's the breakdown for 2011

IGA, Madeira Park: $20
Claytons': $1,200
IGA, Wilson Creek: $660
IGA, Gibsons: $400
Super Valu: $940

Total: $3220

Yes, we're down a few hundred from last year most of which can be attributed to the fact that IGA Gibsons took our box away for most of the year because they felt we weren't using our credits up fast enough . . . that won't happen again :-)

Yes, that's $3,220 in credits at the above stores.  For every $5,000 in receipts we receive a $20 credit at the store that we use for items such as laundry soap, bleach, dish soap, paper towels, sandwich and deserts trays for our Open House and volunteer appreciation event, bones for simmering broth for the dogs, gift baskets for fundraising event prizes and more!   

A  HUGE thank you goes to Autumn Dykstra who collects the tapes from the stores, sorts them, adds them, bundles them up and then takes the added bundles back in to the relevant store so that credits can be made against our accounts. Autumn has been looking after the till tape program for over 14 years!

THANK YOU EVERYONE !

Your grocery store till tapes are very much appreciated
