I've been scouring the household for UPCs tonight. I joined a program that gives money toward an RESP when you send in UPCs for sponsoring products. I also found a $50 gift certificate for Leap Frog products when you purchase $100 worth of baby items between October 1 and Dec 31. Since they are pretty much all things I buy anyway, I should have no problem getting 2 of them. It will be great for birthday presents! I love free stuff!
Tomorrow I'm going to head into town to do a few small errands and I'll scour Mom's place for UPCs as well. It's an interesting mindset to take on when you spend that amount of time looking for UPCs to get a 50 cent credit toward and RESP. I just figure that's 50 cents per item plus the 20% government grant and 16 years' worth of interest- it has to amount to something in the end!
