One of my favorite blogs Couponing to Disney has a feature where she lists 5 companies for her followers to write to and share their experience, if they have any, with those particular products. I love the idea of it, but I am not sure if a company would take it serious when they all of the sudden have 10,000 emails all on the same day.
What I do is try and come up with my own 1- 5 items everyday. This is not easy, mind you. A few of the bigger companies own many of the brands that I enjoy. I had opted to do this not as much for coupons but for the company. How would company xyz ever know I stopped buying their dish soap because it smelled horrible and cleaned worse if I never took the time to tell them. On the flip side, how would ABC know that my son won't eat any other peanut butter but theirs. So I decided to do my part and let the brands I buy know exactly what I think. I have had such a positive response most companies send me high value coupons, some send free coupons and recipes. My all time favorite moment was when my favorite Irish Butter and Cheese maker Kerry Gold sent me a cheese slicer, a reusable folding grocery bag thing and a whole tearpad of $1/1 coupons. I never even knew they made coupons, and that stuff is expensive. I was rewarded by letting them know what I thought (all positive)!
I challenge everyone to make their own lists daily. Write to between 1-5 companies that you use, positive or negative. Be honest!!!! Honesty is important, do you love so and so's pickles on a corned beef sandwich, tell them! Did you not like the smell of the detergent, tell them. Do you want them to offer a no HFCS option (eh hem, Dr Pepper), then by all means tell them.
What are y'alls thoughts? Where do you find coupons?
