I've been calling and writing companies since I was little to tell them how much I love their products. I must admit, it started out as curiosity to see what the whole Questions? Comments? thing was on the back of many products. I was surprised when I started getting Free or High Value coupons in return. So I started writing more companies, and I kept getting more coupons! It was amazing. These coupons can really help you save--especially when you combine them with weekly sales or rebates.
Here are a few tips on how to get these coupons. (Thanks to Coupoing to Disney who brought up the idea of 5-a-day)
1) Make a list of the products you use every day and those that you just love.
2) Why do you love these products? Is it a smell that reminds you of childhood? Does on brand of chocolate chips make your mouth water? Love a certain soda or drink after a hard day? Write these ideas down.
3) Search for company websites and find the "Contact us" links. (usually at the bottom of the page)
4) Tell the companies what you wrote down earlier.
5) Hopefully receive coupons in the mail. Even though you might rave about a product, some companies don't send out coupons.
6) Remember, you can also use this method when you are dissatisfied with a product or a service. Please remember to not abuse this. Only write a company you are dissatisfied with when it really happens because floods of emails about a less than favorable product might raise red flags and no coupons will be sent out--even for those who really had issues with the product.
Here are a few examples of what I've received:
Free pack of crackers from Austin
Free beef jerky from Jack's Links
Numerous samples, try-me packs, and other items.

I like your blog! I've been checking in every once in a while. I'm not a coupon fanatic (it makes me dizzy thinking about it) but I like how you lay it out simply. I think I'm going to have to try it. Keep posting!
