Labels For Education
Ashley’s school, along with countless other schools across the country, collects Campbell's Soup labels. As far as I understand it, the school then turns these in to the company. The more labels they collect, the more stuff they are eligible to receive for the school.
The last time I turned in labels was at the end of Ashley’s third grade year, around May 2004. We have been saving them again ever since. I always know when it’s once again time to donate when my gallon-size Ziploc bag refuses to close.
I decided this afternoon would make the perfect time to clip the labels down to a manageable size, count them, and then put them into a new bag for Ashley to take to school tomorrow. Andrew was a blessing with this process! It would have taken me forever had he not helped.
The final count was 500. Ashley has 500 labels to turn in tomorrow. I thought you might be interested to know which soups we buy the most, thus giving us the most labels. Yes, I divided them all out, wrote them down, and tallied each group separately. I couldn’t help myself! Chalk it up to a little OCD.
We had:
215 Bean & Bacon
58 Chicken Noodle
37 Family Size: Vegetable Beef
37 Cream of Mushroom
34 Cream of Chicken
22 Chicken with White & Wild Rice
17 Vegetable Beef
14 Old Fashioned Vegetable
Although the remainder of the labels numbered 7 and below for each one, there were 24 more varieties of soup. I didn’t know they made that many different kinds of soup!

Chalk it up to a little OCD...That made me laugh out loud (reminds me of myself). I tend to make soup instead of buy canned, but when I do buy canned I do love Campbell's. Their split pea with ham is yummy and I love the bean with bacon, too. No one can beat their cream of mushroom, either. I love that for cooking!
