- SCRIP: Scrip is a dollar-for-dollar exchange that is viewed as cash at the store. Income is generated each time a certificate/gift card is purchased. It is free money for St. Mary’s because families or individuals are regularly purchasing these items! It doesn’t cost them anything they aren’t already spending, therefore keeping them on budget. Scrip is the sale of gift certificates/cards for items people normally use: groceries, gasoline, clothing, department stores, restaurants, entertainment, etc. Merchants give varying discounts, depending on
their mark up on the product, but it can vary between 2% and 20%. Some certificates/cards can be used anywhere in the country that the merchants have stores, so they are great to send to people who live in other places.We have BP, Exxon/Mobile, Shell, and Kwik Trip gas cards, Kohl’s, Festival Foods, County Market, WalMart, Marcus Theatre, 2510, Culvers, Mc Donald’s, Subway, Panera Bread, iHop, Applebees, Pizza Ranch, Texas Roadhouse, Red Robin, Fleet Farm, Menards, Home Depot, Custom Meats…and the list goes on and on. Purchasing a car from Brickner Motors? Stop by and pick up a certificate – they will donate $50 to St. Mary’s in your name. There is an online version to purchase Scrip. This option allows people to buy Scrip online so if you are at the store and have forgotten to buy a card you can still purchase Scrip off your phone. There are a couple steps to set up initially but once it is setup, it can be used immediately. Scrip is available through the school office during normal school hours. Questions? Call 715-443-3430.
