Scrip

Spring is finally here at last. Even if it’s just in name alone, for the time being, the start of spring brings a fresh new season. And what needs more of a refresh than your home?

You don’t have to tackle the chore of painting your house or the expense of updating your appliances. Instead, a good place to refresh your home is sprucing it up with some spring décor. But we also know how out of hand décor shopping can get; you buy one thing, and then before you know it, you’ve completely outfitted a new room and spent way more than you intended. One way to avoid this is to stick to some low-cost and easy DIY projects.

Here’s a tip to make your dollar stretch even further: whether you are going to DIY or buy your home décor, keep in mind that you can use scrip when you shop or purchase all of your project materials.

If you’re not into DIY projects, but you are into shopping, don’t fret. There are ways to spruce up your home for spring without spending a fortune. Plus, you can use scrip to make your purchases, and you’ll earn for a cause you care about.  Our first tip is to head to HomeGoods. Give yourself plenty of time if you choose this because you will want to mosey through every aisle multiple times. Bonus: You won’t feel bad when you leave with half of the store because you will have earned 7% with scrip.

You don’t even have to leave the sanctuary of your home to do your shopping if you don’t want. ShopWithScrip now carries Wayfair, and you can earn 6% on all things home. You could start small with throw pillows and decor, then move up to storage solutions, and even furniture. Wayfair always has great deals and fast free shipping on orders over $49.

So what do you think? Sprucing up your home this spring doesn’t have to be a daunting task or an overhaul. Draw some inspiration from these DIY and buying ideas and your home will be feeling like spring in no time.  stjohnscrip@st-johnschool.org
