Box Top$ for Education

Do you know what these are?  If you have kiddos in school, I'll bet you do!  For those who don't know, they are Box Top$ for Education, coupons that are found on many grocery and food items, and they are redeemable for needed supplies at our public schools.  My kiddos are waaaay past school-age, but I continue to collect these for my great-niece and nephew who are enrolled at Florence Elementary School.  

This is a GREAT way to help our public schools receive much-needed supplies and equipment.  If you're willing to save these coupons, we'll be glad to drop them off at the school for you!  We'll even do the trimming, if any is needed.  There is no cost involved...just the little bit of time it takes to remove the coupons from your grocery and food items, such as ZipLoc bags, Cheerios, and Betty Crocker baking products.  For a complete list of items where you'll find Box Top$ for Education coupons, click this link:  http://www.boxtops4education.com/participating-products.

New Location!

Cow Palace Emporium is located at 101 Story Avenue in Florence, TX, specifically in the front room of Country Mile Warehouse.  We carry a variety of items, ranging from antiques to brand-spanking new and just about everything in between.  I love to give new life to things that have lost their value in their original state.  Recycled, upcycled, repurposed.  There are a lot of catch-words to describe the process of doing this, but it's a challenge I thoroughly enjoy, and one that I hope contributes to improving our environment for future generations.

Drop by and check out the treasures we have displayed.  You might find something you can't live without!
