That sounds like it is a good way to save some money if you don’t need the item right away.
Do you tend to get a lot of coupons this way?

Never though of this! I don’t like cutting coupons because its a hassle looking for what I like, but this eliminates the searching and I could get only what I already use. Great idea.

BJLEE like i said i’ve not done this in a long time but
you can go to there website and look for contact info
and contact them that way or you can fined there phone
number and ask for coupons.
I just did a quick google on Rice Krispies and they have where
you can do things to earn coupons or win them and gift cards
they all have a coupon section digital or clip. I posted the link
below for you to check out. Not sure how other sites work but
you would have to check them out.

I have done two things that helped me get the best coupons. One company misspelled a word in their ad, and I wrote to them to tell them about it. They sent me almost $13 worth of coupons for free items. It wasn’t $1.00 of off this or that. They were freebie coupons. Another company I wrote to because I wasn’t sure if I could do this or that with their product because I never used it before. They sent me several freebie coupons and some $1.00 coupons.

@mskimberly I have never considered that as a way to get coupons but I guess it makes sense. You are helping them look better and in turn they are rewarding you.
Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE COUPONS! Especially FPCs (Free Product Coupons). I tend to save them up & do a ‘free’ grocery shopping trip with them to feel like I’m on Extreme Couponers
or I save them up for camping trips or vacation. I do contact companies to tell them how much I like their products & they usually are very generous in sending coupons.
Bolthouse Farms (USA & CAN), you can email them every 3 months to ask for coupons and they send a stack of them good for all their products - juices, salad dressings, carrots, etc for $1.00off - that usually makes a 1lb bag of carrots free on sale days.
I also belong to the Kellogg’s Family Rewards (even though I’m in CAN, I use my relative’s Seattle address & I have a PO Box in WA), they also email out codes in their newsletters to accumulate points even if you don’t buy their cereals. I did redeem my points for Starbucks e-cards to use when my son was in the hospital.
If you like a product, just email the company to tell them how much you enjoy their product & they are usually generous.
Also, most stores will accept manufacturer’s coupons on clearance items making them even cheaper!
Do some of your stores still have ‘double coupon days’?

@bcraig have you tried looking into the OfferUp or LetGo apps in your area? People sell or give things away all of the time. You could also look on Facebook Marketplace and search to see if anyone has anything!

yes, I have. Mostly with grocery items. I let them know my family & I love their products. Most are generous to send coupons.
I saw you were interested in guitar strings, also google contests for guitars, music stores, etc…that also may help you achieve your goal of free guitar strings. Or contests for Visa cards, paypal, etc.

Yes thanks for the good ideas for guitar strings
at this time we are very Bless Thank You Lord To Have food pantries in our area in Utah
any tips or tricks You have learn on how to get free grocery ?
Before purchasing I google for coupons or check the manufacturer’s website. I have been known to contact them and have received a good number of coupons for free items. Like the Cuties tangerines and Schick razors, most recently.
I used to be a super couponer and saved tons of money and kept the family all with supplies of things. I need to get back into that again and this post just reminded me of that. As long as I am stuck in the house I could be doing this. I follow The Krazy Coupon Lady when doing this. She makes it easier to find the best deals.
Maybe we could start a thread on couponing? If enough people are interested. I wouldn’t mind sharing my super secrets on Penny Hoarder!
