Quotes from Great Lakes Scrip Center

Scrip is Fundraising While You Shop ®

By simply planning ahead on everyday purchases like groceries, gas, restaurants, clothes, entertainment and home repair, the average family can earn at least $11 a week. That modest number adds up quickly - over $500 a year for an average family is not unusual.
