One of the best ways to save a lot of money is to combine manufacturer's coupons with store coupons or rebates. The more manufacturer's coupons you can accumulate, the more likely you will be able to take advantage of each week's deals.
Aside from coupon inserts in the newspapers, you can call or email companies, asking if they have any coupons (or samples) that they could send you. Sometimes they will even send you coupons for free products! These coupons usually arrive within 2 weeks.
(If you missed the 800 Number series I did a while back, you can click "800 Numbers" Label on the right side of this blog. I posted 800 number calling tips and more 800 numbers to get some great freebies and coupons.)
If you have give companies a good reason for wanting coupons/samples, they will often be very generous. Tell them if you have dietary needs/concerns, if you are new to organic eating, or simply want to try the product out on your kids.
I have decided to extend the series to see what would happen if I called natural and organic companies! I am happy to report that so far, many companies have graciously sent out some amazing coupons!
