The Project - February

Well, February did not have the wonderful results that January did. However, I still got some pretty amazing coupons.

Pledge (S C Johnson Company) sent a coupon for a free Pledge product ($4.00 value)

I wrote 3 Con Agra companies:
Chefboyardee sent a $.50 coupon
Manwich also sent a $.50 coupon
Banquet Homestyle Bakes also sent a $.50 coupon.

Mt. Olive Pickles sent a $.75 coupon in response to my compliment and another $.75 coupon for signing up for their news letter.

Tyson sent 3 $1.00 coupons good off any Tyson product.

Blixtex sent 3 $.25 coupons.

Kellog's Pop Tarts is supposed to be sending coupons for signing up with them, however, I have not received any as of yet.

My other companies that were a bust this month inculde:
General Mills
Progresso
Hamburger Helper
Trix

Coty
Sally Henson
N.Y.C. Color

Other
Pepsi/Starbucks
Wrights Baccon (Tyson)
Mahatma Rice (Riviana)
Wishbone Salad Dressing (Unilever)
Scotch Bright (3M)
Sun Drop (Prescot Bottling)
Tostitos (Frito Lay)
Old Spice (Proctor and Gamble)
Lloyds BBQ (Hormel)
M&M's (Mars)
Juicy Juice (Nestle)
Egg Lands Best
Love My Eyes (Bali)
Bath and Body Works

While I did not do as well this month, I still racked up $10.75 in coupons, assuming none of the coupons are doubled (but they will be!!!)

It seems the trend is staying true that General Mills, Unilever and Proctor and Gamble companies do not send coupons when they recieve compliments.

S C Johnson and Con Agra definitely tend to send coupons.

Nestle, it appears to be a draw. Last month I wrote two of their companies and received coupons, this month I wrote one company and did not recieve any.

Happy Couponing!

    So when you send a letter or email to these companies, do you simply compliment them and hope they'll send coupons? Or do you ask for the coupons outright?

    I write them and give honest reviews of their products. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not so much. I am just very honest, but I never ask for coupons.

Parents and Nutritional Idealogy

Last night I was reading an article in one of my parenting forums. The article itself was innocent enough, dispelling the myth that caffine stunts growth. The comments however, annoyed the crap out of me. “I don't see the point of giving child soda…..They are pretty horrible for you. So why give it to my daughter? There are plenty of other options out there than soda. Caffeine free or not, they don't need all that sugar. The sugar alternatives are just as bad. Their little bodies are developing so fast, why not give them beverages that encourage a healthy mind and body.” “What amazes me, in reading some of these community answers is how much artificial sugar parents are giving their children. Diet soda is no more healthy than regular soda, it doesn't contain sugar but it does contain chemically made ingredients such as aspartame or Nutra Sweet which the FDA says to consume in moderation because long term side effects need to be evaluated. Its unfortunate that even Pedia...

The Project

The project is simple. Write the maker of a product every day for a year. Do not ask them specifically for coupons as I did in the Coupon Mania post. Do not write regarding any particular product more than twice in a year. Do not write any particular parent company more than four time is a month (or once a week). Be honest in what you write, give feed back, ask questions. (NOTE: While I have these categorized by parent company, I never wrote to any parent company more than one time in a day.)
