High Value Coupons!

If you're visiting via The 5th Edition of the Carnival of Savings over at Savings with Sadie, WELCOME! Please feel free to stick around and browse. You can always subscribe to my feed right below my header! Thanks again for the visit!

Everyone likes a good deal. Many of us use coupons to really save on our groceries. Unfortunately, there are many times that I can't find any coupons for what I need or the brands that I like! What to do?!

The solution:

Write the manufacturer of the products you like. Explain to them why you like it or how you use it to better your life. Explain a fun story of when that product was used. Just make it personal and look less like a form letter. Most companies will appreciate your feedback and send you freebies and/or coupons! Just like that, you have coupons for things you like and need--and often higher value coupons than those you can find online or in the newspaper!

What makes this better? The ease of this process now! Now that all companies (that you would be writing) will have a website, you can simply go to their "contact us" page. From there you can simply email them your information. Be sure to include your full name and home address even if their form does not ask for it.

See that huge collection of coupons? Those are the coupons that I have received in ONE WEEK! There are also freebies in there as well! I only emailed about 10 companies, and I haven't even received all of the ones that I've been promised via email!

A special thanks needs to go out to Couponing to Disney who gave me this idea. She lists 5 companies each day to write in her posts entitled "5 A Day." She also has a "4 A Day" that lists samples you can request...many of which also come with coupons!

This has SERIOUSLY started working for me! I hope it works for you too! Go over to We Are THAT Family to see what works for others!
