Scrip
What is SCRIP?
The term "Scrip" is used to
describe the certificates that the school purchases at a discount and sells at
face value for a profit. The discount ranges from 2% up to 25%. The Scrip
certificates are actually store gift certificates and cost you nothing extra to
buy. The scrip is used at the store in place of cash, checks or credit cards.
Some can be used for internet and catalog purchases. We currently have several
local grocery stores and over 30 retailers that we have in inventory.
The best thing about Scrip is that is costs you nothing. It just requires a
little bit of planning and a slight change in spending habits. Everybody has to
buy groceries and gas. Our children constantly need new clothes. There are many
ways for you to use Scrip certificates for your needs! The sooner you begin
participating, the more you will benefit.
