Receive coupons by complimenting the manufacturer of your favorite foods & Health & Beauty items

Is there an item you are brand loyal too?  Have you tried something new and loved it?  Contact the comany and let them know.  We all like to receive pats on the back and manufacturers depend on customers' input when providing products.

I have done this and have received anything from a thank you email, a cents off coupon or a coupon for a free item. 

Also, it is a joy to encourage someone else; even if it is a manufacturer.

I joined a site put out by General Mills. I think its called Pssst. Might be more or les ss. lol. They have sent me coupons which are good for saving money.Also their site offers opportunities to save money and print coupons as well as recipes. Each month something different is added. Worthwhile to sign up and to check out.

Good idea! Thanks for the tip, I always like to check out the manufacturers website to see if they have any coupons or deals on them, but I never thought to do this!

I am quick to let them know if they do something wrong- so I try to be quick to compliment also...thanks for the tip

I do this once in a while, and I almost always receive great coupons in the mail.
Renita P. Apr 18, 2009, 6:11pm EDT
I agree. Somewhere in my archives is a post about 100+ companies to contact for coupons. It is especially good to do if you're trying to eat organic foods or foods you don't find coupons for much.
Thanks for posting to Grocery Deals
