To help get you in the Christmas mood, the scrip office will be giving out a gift.  We will have a drawing from all weekly orders turned into us from Nov. 10 through Nov. 14th at 4:00 p.m. (one per family).  The lucky winner will be given a choice of a $25 gift card for either Best Buy or Bath and Body. We will draw the name on Monday, Nov. 17th and notify the lucky winner by phone.

  festivalfoods.gifGreat news Festival Foods has joined the scrip program.  They will be offering us $50 and $100 gift cards at 3% profit.  We will begin carrying Festival Foods in our daily box in the $50 denominations on Monday, Oct.6th.  This will allow you to have scrip for the opening of the store Oct. 10th.  The $100 can be ordered on a weekly order form.  We will need to move our inventory around to afford this new business.  Please be patient the first few weeks as we move things around.  We may be able to add the $100 cards after we get things more settled.  Watch your order forms for denomination amounts. 

R&N Cleaning has joined the scrip program.  They offer Host Dry Carpet Cleaning with 15% profit on the total amount of your bill. Turn in your bill and your check made out to scrip to any scrip location.

Business Changes:

First Chrysler has made a change to the way they will do scrip.  Effective immediately when having work done at First Chrysler you will leave your check for your bill, made out to scrip, at First Chrysler and then we will go in and pick up your check.  We will pay First Chrysler at that point.  You will no longer have to turn your bill into us.  This is the same way that Safranski and Satori’s are done and works very well.  You can still order gift certificates as in the past.

It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas.  Did you know, Thanksgiving falls so late this year that the traditional Thanksgiving to Christmas shopping season is 24% shorter than last year?  Last year we had 34 shopping days from one holiday to the next, this year it is only 26 days.  Start thinking of what scrip can do to help with your holiday shopping this year.  Daily sales will end at the schools on Friday, Dec. 19th (start of Christmas vacation) and there will only be one sale day at the office during Christmas week that of Monday, Dec. 22nd.  The Central Office is closed the afternoon of Dec.24th through Dec. 26th.   Your last chance to order weeklys will be Dec. 12th for delivery before school is out.  Please start to plan ahead now.  Let us do your shopping and your scrip profit will show it.

best buy logo.gif We have a supply of Best Buy in the office of $25 and $100 cards. If you would like to purchase some you can add it to your daily order or call and stop in the office to get it the same day.
