Box Tops for Education - Tried the new app?

Have you given the Box Tops for Education App a try?  It is certainly different than the previous clipping of Box Tops.  In some ways it makes it easier, scan your receipt right away, nothing to cut, no box tops laying on your counter or in your drawers.  However, in other ways it makes it more difficult, remembering to or taking the time to "scan" the receipt.  

One thing that’s great about the app is that since you don’t have to hand in the Box Tops personally, the school you support could be anywhere in the country. This means grandparents and other family members who might live far away can easily help the schools of the kids they love. If you haven't done so yet, remind grandparents or other family members that they can also download the app and have their box top scanned receipts qualify for Electa Quinney.  

Not sure how to use the app?  Not sure if you are scanning correctly?  Check out one of the videos below or pass the links on to family...
