Coupon requests
I recently started emailing companies commenting on their products. I've been getting some really good coupons back from these companies. Here's a link to my spreadsheet in case you would like to have a list of who I've sent to. I have the name of the company, a link to their page, and what I've received from the company. If you know of a company that is not listed let me know so I can add them to the list.

I also received a test product from doing a survey. I will be testing this product from March 3rd through March 9th. this is a great product that I already use so I'm loving that I got this product in the mail. I'm going to have to start keeping better records of surveys I do and what they are for. The package came from Consumer Insights, but I don't think that's where I did the survey.

Red Plum Coupon Inserts
Are in on one of the areas that the Red Plum Coupon Inserts are no longer available? I am lucky in the sense that my local Akron Beacon Journal newspaper still has the Red Plum Insert. I also buy the Cleveland Plain Dealer at the store on Sunday so I can get extra coupons. The Plain Dealer has better and more coupons in it so it is worth the money. When the coupons are extremely good I will buy more than one Plain Dealer.
Recently the Plan Dealer no longer had the Red Plum Coupon Inserts. If you live in the affect area you can request for the Red Plums to be mailed to your home. I am not in the Plain Dealer delivery area so I will not have access to the extra coupons. Another drawback is the mailings will only have 1 insert so if you wish to purchase extra inserts you will no longer be able to do so.
If Red Plum gets away with this with the Newspapers it's doing it to already what's to stop them from going to the other papers. Eventually it will affect all of us if we don't take action. There is a website that has all the companies listed with contact info on it. Bring Back the Coupons There is a sample letter to email to the companies. The advertisers could change the Red Plums mind if they let them know that the consumers are not happy and in return they will stop advertising. Here's the link if you would like to help get the Red Plums back in the newspapers not getting the Red Plum and in turn help from getting them taken form your newspaper.

Mail Call
Yesterday I got a $10.00 check from Bayer. I had sent in 4 upcs from One a Day vitamins in January and I got the check yesterday.
Today I got a coupon booklet from Home made simple. There was a lot of coupons in it. I cut them all out and have 2 piles. One for me to file and one for me to trade.
I also did a survey for Mindfield this morning and got accepted to do a product study. I will get free product for the study and I will get $5.00 at the end after I send in the diaries we fill out during the study. If you are interested in getting some extra cash while doing surveys and product studies use this link for Mindfield and get started. You can cash out after you have earned $5.00 in your account.

Busy Saturday
After breakfast and a shower I went to watch my grand daughter play basketball. Her team won so that was nice. I stopped at Acme on the way to the game to take advantage of the 1 day sale. They had Smith milk on sale for $1.99. There was a limit of 4 gallons. I had 2 35 cent coupons and I knew my daughter would have 2 coupons so I stopped my her house to get her coupons. They also had Nickles bread on sale for 88 cents so I got 2 loafs. I spent OOP $9.72 and had a savings of $8.32.
After the basketball game I stopped by Target. I wanted to get the Coke that they had on sale. It was hard to just walk straight to the soft drinks and not look at other things, but I did it. I used 2 coupons that I printed of the my come rewards site. OOP $5.09 with a savings of $2.00.
This evening we are going to see the Black Keys. We are taking our daughter and 2 grandsons to see them. We saw them play at an Obama rally in Akron in September. They were the opening act for Devo. The drummer was great to watch. He really got into his playing. Since both of my grandsons enjoy playing in their own 2 man band I thought they would enjoy seeing the concert.
