Want More Freebies?

Posted by Lisa

Here’s a way to get more freebies than what you always see listed on sites and blogs.  These freebies will be products you actually use!  Here’s how to do it:

1. Make a list of everything you use on a regular basis.

2. Using your list, go to each company’s web site.  Look for:

  • Printable coupons (those are immediate coupons/discounts to be had)
  • Free samples (when you get those, they usually come with coupons)
  • Mailing lists/newsletters (sign up to get the heads up on new products/promotions/coupons)
  • Sweepstakes (long term payoff if you win)

3.  Email the company with a short note of how much you like and use their products, then request coupons.  Include your mailing address.  They usually send high value coupons and freebies.

It’s a simple process, that may take some time to complete, but it’s a great money saving project to do in your spare time.

Remember, you can always go to Coupon Tom and type in your favorite products.  If there’s a coupon out there, it will pull it up for you to print.

Eukanuba Pet Food $30 in Coupons

Posted by Lisa

This is the good stuff (for the dog, not me) and is recommended by vets.  All you have to do is go here, join the club and receive 6 coupons for $5 each.  One per household.  Those bags are about $13 each, so this cuts the price by more than a third.

My mother buys this for her dog so she signed up, I signed up and my sister signed up.  We just saved Mom $90 in dog food.  Dry dog food is something you can stockpile if the coupons expire too soon.
