Extreme Couponing with free coupons

Everyone wants to do extreme couponing. Well, at least everyone wants to pay those super low prices that come along with extreme couponing!

The biggest questions I get concerning extreme couponing are, Where do I get the coupons and how do I find time to coupon?

Where do I get coupons?

The easiest way that I find to get amazing and free coupons that my family will actually use is to simply contact the companies.

I email companies who make the products my family uses.

There are rumors that you can get better coupons if you call the companies rather than email them, but honestly, mothers of many just don’t do well on the phone!

I do quite well my just emailing them though.

Contact us

Every product has a contact us page on their website. This is typically found at the very top or the very bottom of their site.

The process is simple. Just go to their contact page, write a little email saying that you either love, or really, even hate their product.

For many companies, that is really all it takes.

I, personally, like to actually ask for the coupons directly. My emails typically look something like this:

I am the mother of a mega family, which includes 12 children. We love your products. Could you send me some free coupons? Thank you for your time.

That’s it, and don’t worry, you don’t need 12 children for this to work!

Asking the companies for free manufacturer coupons is the quickest, and easiest way to get coupons for products that your family will actually use.

Keep Trying

Don’t give up if some companies say no. Keep trying. The companies that say yes will make up for all of the no’s you hear.

Always remember coupons equal money. They are money for you, but they are also money for companies.

Since coupons equal money, we need to realize that companies are not going to issue out an unlimited supply of money. They would simply go bankrupt if they did.

Some companies will say yes, and send you out coupons right away. Some companies will just simply say no. Other companies will say yes, but we have reached our limit for the month, so please try again at a later date.

I have emailed companies for coupons and been told no, while my sister emailed them a week later and received awesome coupons from them. So, remember that coupons equal money to the companies. Maybe your no was really just a not now. Try again!

How do I find time to do extreme couponing?

Couponing, extreme or not, doesn’t have to take up a lot of time.

It literally only takes a few moments to shoot of an email to one of your favorite companies.

Then all you have to do is wait for your awesome coupons to arrive in your mailbox, wait for a sale to match the coupon up with, and get excited about the amazing savings!

Extreme Couponing with free coupons

I am always super excited to surprise my family with chicken patties. Since our typical meals are homemade, processed, quick foods are considered a treat.

When Price Chopper has bags of On-Cor chicken patties on a BOGO sale, I buy one bag at around $4.49 and get a second bag for FREE.

I, then, use a bunch of coupons to go with this sale.

Thank you, On-Cor, for always saying yes, and mailing them to me!

They usually send me two 75 cents off from one package coupons which enables me to get two bags of chicken patties for 75 cents each.

Two bags of chicken patties cost $4.49 with the Price Chopper sale price. Both 75 cent coupons double, which takes $3.00 off my order.

I pay a total of $1.49, or 75 cents per bag!

You can be an extreme couponer too! Start emailing the companies you already buy from on a normal basis.
