Does anyone still clip the proof of purchase coupons off of the Community Coffee bag?

I have an extra cannister on the counter filled with them. I have no idea why I even do it any more.

Non-fat decaf vanilla latte with an extra shot of caramel is not "good coffee".

My coworker does. Turns them in for her kids’ class and they end up with a pizza party.

Yes, you turn them into a school, that school then enrolls with Community Coffee and redeems them for cash. $0.10 per PoP redeemed. Easy way for a school to raise an extra $1000

Why are there so many nerds on this site? Football used to be for people who laughed at people who couponed.

I'm just being a coffee snob.

It's not terrible, just mid-grade. I knew my comment would get a negative reaction since it's a Louisiana based company. They are the only company where I can buy chicory root, so I do appreciate them for that.

Wife (no pics) did it for years for the school where she taught. Still cut them now that she doesn't work there and give them to a friend of hers who still does.

We do it and our tiny little private school gets about $1500/yr from community coffee.

I used to love grocery stores that had the grinders. Those coffee beans smell awesome.

A lot of the schools that used to collect them no longer do. I just threw away a bunch that my mom had collected because I couldn't find a school that wanted them.

In middle school, I remember when Delchamps did Green Receipts for schools.

I was the one who tabulated the amounts we received. We were aided a bit by knowing some people who did boat orders for Chouest and other boat companies so we made bank and enjoyed a pizza party.

RIP...Delchamps.

Kids' school still collects them, so I get them from work and what I drink at home. I can usually get $30-40 worth through the course of a year. Much more than I collect in Box Tops (which is all done via app now), but probably not as much as I contribute from shipping at Kroger.

Coworker gets them all to give to his teacher wife. We already got the Community guy that comes and stocks the office trained to cut the UPC off of the cases of coffee and puts them in my coworker's mailbox in the breakroom.
