| Kroger Cards |
|
Did you know you can buy your groceries and CDS will get a portion of the sale? Purchase a Kroger card in the school office for $5.00. It is already loaded with $5.00, so it doesn't actually cost you anything. At Kroger, load the Kroger card with whatever amount you choose. The cashier will then scan your groceries and you will pay with your Kroger Card. It's that easy and you are not spending any money that you would not have already spent. Every time CDS spends $5,000, Kroger will cut us a check for 5%! |
