Default I have a great suggestion for you all!!

I started doing this three days ago and today I got my first response.

I went into all my cupboards and got the websites of every food that I have in my home. EVERY FOOD ITEM, every paper product, every dishwashing item, EVERY ITEM, has a contact number or a website.

I did the website thing. I figured, I'm on the computer, just write them.

So I went to various websites (this takes a lot of time but once you're done, just wait until your mail arrives).

I clicked on "contact us" . Every website (for example Kimberley Clark), every website has a Contact Us option.

I simply praised their product and asked if they could be so kind as to send me a free coupon. Just one. That's all I asked for.

Well, I've been getting various emails back from the customer relations departments of all the websites I've written to. They were delighted to hear from me.

Today, in my mailbox, the first letter came with 3 FREE COUPONS for any product by OLIVIO.(I use their spray zero calorie margarine). I never expected 3. I thought I might get 1. They also sent me a nice letter thanking me for praising their product.

In the emails that I've been getting I am being told that I'm getting actual products in the mail.

So I cannot wait for the mailman every day. I'll either get a free coupon, or some sample (maybe even full size) of whatever I've been using in my house.

This is the single best way to save money I have ever thought of.

I sent 50 emails in two days. Can you imagine if I can get 50 or more free coupons (or products).

And just imagine writing or calling the 800 number on diaper packages.

Hope you all either start calling or emailing the companies.

It's like christmas when the mailman comes and you never know what will be in your mailbox.

And all I did was say I liked their product.

lol
