If you have kids or have friends or relatives with kids, I'm sure you've been accosted to purchase goodies from a catalog used as a fundraiser for their school. You know what I'm talking about... the 5 pound tin of popcorn you end up throwing out or the ridiculously priced tub of cookie dough? Some catalogs contain the $15 candle that stops smelling pretty two days after opening it. As a teacher, I get asked to partake in purchasing fundraising goodies all the time and often I have to politely turn down my students because I simply can't afford to buy all that stuff that I don't need or will never use.
So when I was approached by the folks at KidStuff Coupon Books to take a peek at their own version of school fundraising goodies, I was all over the opportunity!
KidStuff Coupon Books vary depending on your location. I counted 22 different books based on locality in the following states: PA, OH, MD, CT, MA, NH, NJ, NY, DE, TX, MN, IL.
I received the Massachusetts Coupon Book which is teeming with coupons and savings passes for chain and local vendors. The book itself is separated into three color-coded sections: blue is for shopping and services, yellow is for activities and attractions, and red is for dining and food.
Coupons are included for chain vendors like Sears, Sports Authority and Dunkin Donuts. Then there are discounts for places more local to Massachusetts such as a Boston Celtics game.
At the very front of the book, there's an alphabetic listing of all of the vendors included in the book to make browsing easier.
The book costs $25 and
HALF of that goes directly to the school fundraising. I promise you you'll get more use out of the KidStuff Coupon Book than you ever did with that 5 pound tin of popcorn.
AND you'll be helping a local school raise money for their educational initiatives! What a great two-for-one deal!! You get an entire book of savings (over 400 pages!!!) and your local school earns money!

In 2013, consumers took advantage of $3.7 billion of coupon savings or $11.60 per person for the year according to the 2014 Inmar® Coupon Trends Report. September is National Coupon Month and BJ’s Wholesale Club, the only wholesale club to accept manufacturers’ coupons, reports that Members save roughly $75 per year using coupons. The coupon savings are on top of BJ’s everyday low prices for high quality, name brand essentials including paper towels, eggs, diapers, etc. Additionally, the Report shows the average face value of coupons redeemed is $1.27; in contrast, the average face value redeemed for a BJ’s coupon is $2.74 -- more than double the national average.
