One of the questions I get asked frequently is “Where do you get your coupons?” This is a multi-answer question because there are a lot of different sources. Contacting companies is a great way to get coupons in the mail. You can target products you like and get coupons you can really use! Companies are always interested in hearing from their customers and a lot of them will mail coupons when you ask. When I email companies, I tell them something specific that I like about a particular product. It doesn’t take long at all to do this and if you set a goal of say, emailing 5 companies a week, it’s a great way to add more coupons to your stash. And another thing about the coupons that companies send is they generally have very long expiration dates. I haven’t contacted companies for a long time, so a couple weeks ago in between doing my grocery ad match-ups, I emailed a batch of several different companies. Here’s the results:
- Daisy Brand: Three coupons for $0.45 off Daisy Sour Cream & two coupons for $0.50 off Daisy Cottage Cheese (I just recently tried their sour cream & it is excellent!)
- Farmland: You can sign up to get a coupon mailer. I had already signed up and hadn’t gotten 1 in about 9 months, so I emailed and asked for another one which they did (yay!). The sheet has four $0.55 off any Farmland products, two $0.75 off & two $1.00 off.
- Musselman’s: Three $0.50 off any Musselman’s products
- Land O’Lakes: They said they were only allowed to mail 1 coupon to a customer per year and they sent a $0.40 off any Land O’Lakes Half & Half
- Bumble Bee: Five coupons for $0.25 off any Bumble Bee products
- Honeysuckle White: Two coupons for $1.00 off any Honeysuckle White products & two coupons for $0.50 off any Honeysuckle White products
- Armour-Eckrich: One coupon for $1.00 off any Eckrich product & one coupon for $1.00 off any Healthy Ones product
- Tyson Foods: Two coupons for $1.00 off any one Tyson Chicken, Steak, Chops or Bacon product
- Reser’s Fine Foods: This was by far the most exciting thing I got in the mail. They sent four coupons for $0.55 off any Reser’s branded item and four coupons for Up to $8.00 off any Reser’s branded item. WOW! Thanks Reser’s, you rock! 🙂
- Mott’s: They responded that they don’t mail out coupons.
- Maxwell House: They responded that they don’t mail out coupons.
- American Beauty Pasta: They responded that they don’t mail out coupons and to watch for coupons in the Sunday newspaper (I have NEVER seen a coupon in the paper for AB. Oh well!).
In the KC Star we got an AB coupon just a couple weeks ago. Wish I could remember exactly when… And it may have been LJWorld, but I assume the Star since it is bigger and usually has better coupons.
Hi Becky,
That’s good to know. And true, the bigger papers have much better coupons. We get pitiful coupons in my small town paper. Lol
I sent an e-mail to Iams pet food in which they sent a returned e-mail thanking me for the for letting them know about thier products. They also stated that they would be sending me coupons. Several weeks later, in the mail I received 6 coupons, 3 for cats and 3 for dogs. 2 of was for larger bags of the both for $3.00 off, 2 for small to med.sized bags $2.00 off and the last two 1 one was for the cat and one for the dog for canned food for cats and the other for dog bones or something (I cant remember exactly). Anyway, it totaled over $10.00 in pet food with the expiration date being 3 months later. Not bad for a few minutes of “work”.
