Jingit & General Mills- Grocery Shopping Has Never Been So Rewarding #BoxTops

One of my favorite fundraisers my child’s school participates in is Box Tops for Education. Since collecting Box Tops is extremely easy to do, I have no problem handing my children baggies filled with clipped Box Tops I have collected for a few months. But Collecting Box Tops has definitely evolved over in the last few years. Recently I downloaded the new JingIt App available on my smartphone.

Jingit is a new start-up company that works with various brands like General Mills to pay you instant cash for learning more about a brand and giving input on various topics. Since Jingit knows your time is valuable, they not only allow you to earn money for yourself, but they have also partnered with General Mills And Box Tops for Education so that you can also earn funds for your favorite participating school and make a difference in your community.


Jingit can be used online or through the Iphone or Android App. which ever way you decide to use Jingit you need to first choose a school to donate your eBox Tops to when prompted if you want to unlock this earning opportunity. But since you only have to do it once the rest is as easy as 1-2-3! Once your App is downloaded or if you decide to use their online site, you can earn money & Box Tops right away. Click on the “Earn It” options and start watching videos. Every time you watch a short 20 second video you can earn anywhere from 20-50 cents per video! I started by watching a few videos while commercials were playing during the little time I watch television. I was on my way to earning money & Box Tops which made me feel very accomplished!!

But I soon realized I can earn up to $1.00 by using the “Check In” Option on various selected items. On my most recent trip to Walmart, I used the Check in option through my JingIt app and scan the barcodes on any 4 participating General Mills’ back-to-school basics products (Yoplait Go-Gurt, Yoplait – Original Fridge Pack, Fiber One Brownies, Nature Valley Oats ‘n Honey Granola Bars, Honey Nut Cheerios, Totino’s Party Pizzas, Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers, Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks – Fruit Roll-Ups, Fruit by the Foot and Fruit Gushers) and BOOM – more money for my account & instant Box Tops for my children’s school!! Winning Combo in my eyes!!


Although I still participate in clipped Box Tops, I feel I can earn extra revenue for my children’s school by using Jingit. I am going to relay all the information I learned about the Jingit App to the school’s Box Top Coordinator in hopes that other parents in my area can participate by using the Jingit App as well. If 1/2 of the parents (and even the children with smartphones) can participate in the Jingit program, we can possibly double our schools end of year Box Tops total.

If your interested in signup for Jingit by clicking HERE and download the Jingit App for additional savings and extra Box Tops HERE. You can also follow the Jingit on Facebook & Twitter. Use the hastag #jingit4edu for more real-time twitter information on the Jingit program. My Google + Story also gives you a step by step process of the JingIt App and the Check-In as well.

    That is great! I collect the box tops for my step-son but didn’t know about all the advantages that he could get for it.

    Love this. My children are teens now and I used to collect the box tops as well. It helps support schools etc. I miss those days, but I still collect them and give them to a local school.

    I LOVE Jingit and would recommend it to everyone! If folks could click on my referral link I would be so appreciative! This poor college student would love a little extra money for the weekly shopping of Ramen noodles. Thanks in advance. :)
