Coupon Update

Back in January I blogged about my quest to find coupons. I decided to look through my cupboards and find products that I really liked and send them e-mails asking for free coupons. Here's my results:

My favorite cereal company and my favorite dishwasher detergent manufacturer both told me to find coupons in my local newspaper (I don't get a paper) or to print them off from their Web site (I wrote that my grocery store doesn't accept Internet coupons). One of the companies even suggested that I shop at a different store! I must admit that I was very shocked by their response. Here I am, a loyal customer telling them how much I love their products and that I want to buy MORE, and they won't send me coupons. How rude!

A frozen fish company sent me a coupon for $1.00 off my next purchase.

My kids' favorite yogurt maker sent me a coupon for FREE yogurt. Score!

A toothpaste company sent me a free sample of their toothpaste along with the coupons. Mega score!

A major soup company sent me $4.00 worth of coupons and these coupons were good for any of their products, with no stipulations (they even included a booklet of recipes).

Today I got a letter from a major food company that included 7 coupons for their various products.

Despite the fabulous coupons that I received, I had to stop e-mailing these companies because I'm not too sure about their privacy policies (maybe it's just a coincidence that right after I gave all these Web sites my e-mail address, I became flooded with letters from princes in Africa that need my help transferring their funds to a bank account in America).

I will still continue my search for coupons!
