Over the last few years we have mentioned on many occasions how you can reach out to manufacturers in efforts to score product coupons.

Writing to companies is a great way to get some additional savings on products you normally buy – and in some cases, it can be a great task to work on with your kiddos.

Last year, I documented my success with writing – as I reached out to 5 companies daily for a period of 8 weeks. 

My goal was to request produce coupons since those are items that are hard to find savings on (see that post HERE when I scored savings from Tanimura & Antle).

NOW… we are approaching Christmas and I have started doing this again. Why? Because I really LOVE to bake and I’m hoping to score some NICE coupons to help me get a price break on all my favorite baking items!

How to Request Product Coupons to Save Money on Groceries

Make a list of foods you purchase regularly, and write their names on paper.

Each day, set time aside to reach out to them via their website – look for the Contact Us link to submit your comments.

Within each comment, make sure you fill out your home address, and email – as many will respond back to let you know your email has been received.

Note on your spreadsheet who you have contacted so you can keep a tally of the responses.

In the contact form, keep your transmission brief – what do you like about their product? What do you dislike? What could they improve? Do you like the NEW flavors they have?

Document their response, if any.

If you DO receive coupons, make sure you reach out to them to thank them for responding so favorably.

Some companies will have an auto-response anywhere from immediately to 4-5 days later; others will respond within 24 hours to thank you for your feedback and some will respond to let you know they are sending coupons by mail.

Should you wish to contact companies you can head to their Website Directly and search for the CONTACT US button – or, use this spreadsheet here – it has been a while since we have updated, but it’s a great foundation as it’s a clickable PDF – start at A and work your way down the list.

One of the most important things to remember is that the worst they can say is “NO” — in the last 6 years I can’t say I have ever encountered a company who wrote back and said “Absolutely NOT – we do not give coupons for savings”. .. most are more than eager to send you SOMETHING to thank you for your time.
