Ways to Snag Coupons

Are you looking for a way to build up your coupon stash? One rainy Friday afternoon about a month ago I decided to take an hour to sit down and contact companies about their products. I basically complimented them on their products. Occasionally if I really wanted to get some coupons, I would request them. Here's a list of the companies I contacted and that sent me coupons. I'm giving you a link to each company website. Usually along the bottom of each website there's a link that says "Contact Us". You then fill out the form and provide any additional comments you might have for them. ;)

Have you had any success in complimenting companies on their products? If so which companies did you contact and what coupons did you receive?

  1. I don't keep as close track as you do, but I complimented Scrubbing Bubbles and Drano and received coupons to get one free of each. I think I also did a few others, but can't remember what they were. I also wrote the company that makes Fresh express lettuce because the lettuce I bought went bad really quickly and they sent me coupon for 2 free ones. I did the same thing for Hormel pepperoni that I bought that was moldy. They sent me a coupon for a free one (up to 4.99)

  2. Twila, I complimented 2 SC Johnson products and haven't gotten anything from them. So maybe I will yet if you did? I also had 2 companies (Glad Forceflex and Sunchips) that I complained about the products and they each sent me a coupon for a free product.

    -Starbucks 2 FREE coupons (yay!)
    -Welch's 1 FREE coupon

  4. I wonder if I should compliment Starbucks again and ask for coupons this time??? They sure would be good!

  5. I've done this numerous times. I know one thing I did was Skintimate shaving cream and if I remember correctly they send a coupon for a free product. I also have done this if I buy something like Twila did that is not up to par. They pretty much always send lots of coupons- usually a free one as well as some other random ones.
