Are you using Upromise yet? Upromise is a way to save for college while you shop. Basically, you register your store courtesy cards (I registered every one I have) and then select the coupons you want. I always select all the coupons because I just don’t know if I will use them. It doesn’t hurt and takes very little time. (After you click on the coupons, make sure you hit “activate my coupons” on the right side of the page.) The coupons automatically get downloaded onto all your store cards and are activated when you shop. When you shop, you earn money for college. For example, say you buy Bounty paper towels. If there is a .50 coupon for Bounty towels at Upromise, download the coupon and then buy paper towels. Fifty cents goes into an account for college. You can still use regular paper coupons as well, so it’s not like you’re missing out on getting good deals. If you don’t want to give the money to someone for college, you also have the option of transferring the money over to a savings account or requesting a check. I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to be shopping anyway, I might as well earn money on what I’m buying.
