Want to get free coupons?

Want to get more coupons for free? There is a way! It takes a little of your time and some typing but it can be done.

What to do: All companies like to get feedback from their customers whether it is a complaint, compliment or comment. 9 times out of 10 these companies will take the time to send you coupons.

How to do it: E-Mail! Here are some basic tips on what to say.
1. Be specific! Tell each company why you like/dislike or you've never tried their
product and you want too.
2. Make it personal. Include how their product makes your life easier, how you use
it or that your kids love it.
3. Be polite and thank them for making the product and taking the time to read you
letter.
4. Don't lie! If you don't have a complaint, don't make one up! But if you do have
a legitimate complaint make sure you have the package handy! Companies always
want to know where the problem lies. For example I got a bad can of Campbells
soup about a month ago. I called and complained and they sent me 2 coupons for
$3 off ALL Campbells products. It was worth the call!

I'll be keeping a list of who I email and what I receive in return.

Here's the first round of companies to email. Just click on their name to go to their website. Make sure you check out these sites for IP coupons available now!

Bathromitis!

This blog originally started out as a way to post everyday happenings with my family, but turned into the coupon blog you see today. But in keeping with what House of Collums originally started as, here is the latest thing out of my daughter's mouth:

My daughter Molly has bathromitis! We go in every bathroom, in every store, every time we go somewhere! We were in Target today when she discovered the feminine hygiene machine and began to read! "T-A-M-P-O-N-S. Mom what's that spell?" I told her it's something adults use and not to worry about it right now. Then I hear, "Hey look! They have napkins in here! And they are only 25 cents! That's why they have that garbage can right there, so after you wipe off your face with that napkin you can throw it away. Hey mom, do we need any napkins?" I wanted to flush myself down the toilet as I listened to the other bathroom patrons giggle in the stalls!

Publix Ad for 2/4-2/10 at iheartpublix

Check out iheartpublix for a sneak peak at what the sales will be at Publix this week. Sale starts Thursday 2/4 and runs through Wednesday 2/10. Remember best days to go (according to their staff is Tuesday mornings, Thursday mornings and Saturday mornings. I'll be making a trip if anyone wants to tag along!

Food World Coupon Policy

On my way to Publix I stopped at Food World. They had some good deals this week!

$0.99 eggs
B1G1 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Ground chuck $1.79 lb.

I found the store to be not as nice as Winn Dixie or Publix but they had good deals and they have a good coupon policy. I have NOT tried to coupon there at this time so I don't know what the experience will be like. Here is their policy:

1. DOUBLE coupons everyday up to $0.50. Up to 10 coupons can be doubled, after that they are face value.
2. They take manufacturer and internet printable coupons.
3. You can use 2 coupons on B1G1.

There were a few other things too, but these were the most important.
