Tues./Weds. update

If you have a fresh and easy near you, here is a great $10 off a $50 or more purchase.  

Now I am going to discuss something that is a hot subject in the frugal living/couponing world- writing emails to companies.

I am of the mind if I buy something and it's awesome- I want the company to know.  Conversely, if I buy something and it's awful (like the hot deli food that gave me food poisoning), I want the company to know- maybe they can work better or change something.


The best way to do this is to visit the companies website, most of them have a "contact us" page where you can email them.
Here is a recent example:

After buying the soy based glade candles, I was really impressed by them (they have a vert strong, clean scent). I wrote glade an email asking if their holiday scents would be in the soy based as well.  They wrote me back to thank me for my email and sent me a coupon for a free 2 oz. soy based candle.

Some couponers/frugal livers see this as begging for coupons- I do not.  I only write companies to give them feedback, if they do send coupons that is just gravy.

Now, I am off to write Bristol Farms about their hot deli.
