How To Get Coupons Directly From Companies
With food prices going up and your pay staying the same, how do you save on groceries??
Most people use coupons,but what is so aggravating is the lack of coupons for the items we use in our household or eat! I really disliked the coupons in the Sunday paper. Why? They hardly had coupons for what we use/eat!
I knew there had to be away to getting coupons for the products we used so,after researching, I found one of the best ways to get coupons for the things you use in your home, your kids may like, or you and your husband love, is by contacting the companies and restaurants and giving them feedback.
You'd be surprised at how many companies appreciate some kind of feedback from their customers. In return, most companies are more than happy to send you coupons for telling them you like/dislike a product, asking questions, making suggestions or requesting additional information about their products.
There is no need to pay for stamps or envelopes. Just go to your favorite companies web site find their 'contact' link and shoot them an email! The contact link can usually be found at the top or bottom of the companies web page.
Another way is by calling them. On most product packages there is a toll free number you can call and give them your opinion over the phone. (This is particularly good with complaints)
What should you write?
Here are a few tips:
I have been told that writing to major companies like Kraft, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Chef Boyardee won't get you any coupons even upon request. Reason: They often have coupons for their products in the Sunday inserts.
When contacting restaurants, write or call the local place of business. Restaurant managers who run each individual business seem to be a lot nicer than the main headquarters.
In addition, organic companies are very nice and generous about sending coupons. They often don’t do any major advertising and they love hearing from their customers.
I've already emailed 10 companies between the weekend and today. I have my fingers crossed that I'll have some valuable coupons in the next few weeks.
If you do this and get results, please leave a comment letting us know what company and what they did for you? I love to know when my readers get something good!
