Tips for getting the coupons on products you most desire/use

I know I have said in the past for you NOT to be brand loyal.  We all have our products that we will ONLY use that name brand.  Here's where your computer or your phone come in handy.  Let the company know how much you love their product, how brand loyal you are regardless of the cost.  THEN.. let them know that you NEVER see coupons in the Sunday paper for their product (but only if that's the truth).  I have a particular sausage brand and it's the only sausage I will buy.  However, I never did see coupons for it!  I emailed the company and told them I use at minimum 1 package of their sausage a week and I am very brand loyal to them, praise them etc etc but I never see coupons for their product.  About 2 weeks later in the mail I got (6) .25 off coupons (no, not a lot but doubled at Kroger all totaled it saved me 3.00.. or got me one roll of sausage free) and about 10 recipes that included their sausage. 


Pick up the phone... email them... it WILL pay off.  I'm not saying you should specifically email every company that you can possibly think of and ask them outright for coupons, but you should praise those that you are loyal to and you might just be rewarded! 


I emailed a particular cereal company and told them that I LOVE their cereal but never see coupons for it.. they sent me a 1.00/1 coupon and 6 trial size boxes.  Then.. about 2 months later I got another set of coupons from them, I think it had (3) 1.00/2 coupons in it.  No, not a ton of money but again, in the long haul I got a couple of free boxes of cereal AND I had (6) trial boxes that were perfect for the camper!  


We don't hesitate to let a company/person know when we're irritated with them, let's let that company/person know when they've done well! 


Till next time......
