Back to School #givingbackpack Sponsored by #Ebates

Thank You For Sharing!!

was provided $25 by our sponsor Ebates to purchase a backpack and school supplies. I was not compensated in any other way for this post. #givingbackpack #ebates 


Giving Back PackThis N That with Olivia is honored to have been chosen by Ebates to participate in the Giving Back Pack opportunity. I was given $25 to purchase a book bag and fill it with items for a child in need. I am excited to share this backpack with a child at the Elementary School I attended, and I am blessed to be able to help someone else. Giving back to the community is something that I am passionate about and I try to do as much as I can! Participating in the program was a way for me to show my love for my local community and I had a blast shopping for and finding the cute backpack for this promotion. 

Shopping for the back to school supplies was a lot of fun, I love back to school supplies myself so I had to restrain myself from going overboard. All of the stores that I went to (Target, Staples and Walmart) were fully stocked and pretty organized. I tried to focus my shopping on the age of the child I was helping, Kindergarten, so you’ll see that I purchased some markers and crayons (a good amount of each). I used some coupons along with the great deals I got to save even more. Here is what I was able to purchase:

This is a good example of how giving a little can make a big impact; when you see an image of all the supplies $25 in careful spending can purchase and think of how it will affect the child's ability to learn and enjoy school (and thus also affect her future) it's easy to see how programs like this are incredibly worthwhile.
