The following is a sponsored post on behalf of Costco and Acorn Influence. All thoughts and opinions are always my own.
My kids have been in school for two weeks now, but we’re still settling into our back to school routine. They’re alarms not going off, some outfits not perfectly matching, some supplies still need to be bought, etc. Although, one thing my boys quickly got a hang of was waking up and having their breakfast. They usually wake up starving and, while I’m not the type of mom to go all out and cook breakfast every morning, I do keep the pantry stocked with their favorite cereals, like Honey Nut Cheerios. Normally I just buy a big family size box, but when I found out that buying Honey Nut Cheerios (and tons of other participating General Mills products that you can see below) at Costco also meant I earned an additional eight Box Tops, and a chance to win a Golden Box Tops, I headed over to Costco and stocked up right away!
Easy DIY Mason Jar Box Tops Holder
My kids school really get the kids hyped on collecting Box Tops and I love the fact that I can help out by buying the products that we already love for breakfast and lunches right from Costco. It’s a really easy and fun way to support our school. Each year we put together a new Box Tops holder (see below for the easy DIY mason jar Box Tops holder). Collecting the Box Tops and making a new Box Tops holder has become a back to school tradition that we look forward to every year!

This is so pretty and reminds of Disney. I save all my box tops and send them to a friend who homeschools. Thanks for sharing. – Yolonda
What a cute way to store your box tops! Mine are just in a plastic bag in the drawer!
Great idea. Love creative ideas such as this. This will look good on my kitchen counter . Easy to use and super cute
That’s awesome, you are very creative! I used an empty jar too for my kids labes.
Such a cute idea. We used to store ours in a ziplock, which would end up getting lost.
Wow, I am so going to try this. I think my husband lost a few because he couldn’t remember where he left them. 🙁
I need to make a holder like this. Box Tops are a great way to help out your community.
I think this is a great idea. I normally just put them in a plastic zip lock bag. I love this idea a lot more. We always have jars around, so I’ll be making one of these.
This is a cute idea to keep the box tops. I have never had a good place to keep mine but now I will. Thanks for sharing!
That is a cute idea. I currently keep the box tops in a zip lock baggie. I need to turn mine in.
What a cute way to save box tops. I’ll have to make a couple of these. I’ve got envelopes hung around town and everyone contributes their box tops to them.
This is such a cute idea! I love mason jars, and I absolutely adore the way you customized yours! Also, the box tops for education movement is so amazing, it’s been going on since I was in school (which is a LONG time ago!)
What a great idea. That is so cute and creative. I will try this soon.
That School Days ribbon is adorable!
I absolutely love this idea. We usually just put ours in a basket. Which of course, leads to losing a lot of them. =(
I can’t tell you how much I love this. I think we’ve probably lost as many box tops as we’ve donated!
