I, Sister C, have been following Kristin's 5 a day coupon series at Couponing to Disney for about a year now. Last summer, I saved up all the fantastic coupons I received from sending emails to companies and went on a spree. Here's a link to my shop featured on her site. This is one reason why I can go a week without spending more than $10 at the grocery store for essentials (usually just bread, eggs and crackers). I like to do this every 2 months, and put the remaining money I didn't spend on groceries into our Indiana Fund or put towards a debt to pay off if the Indiana Fund is stocked.
How long does it take to do all that emailing? Not long at all. Less than 10 minutes a day if you do it daily. About an hour when I do it on a Saturday or Sunday night. I took a picture of my shop and you'll see it when you go to that link, and it was just under $100 worth of products. I bet I saved up for about 10 weeks, so it ends up being about $10/hour in products. Worth it to me! PLUS I still had coupons to use up, so I "made" more per hour.
So, this is one way to help companies know if you like their products or not, PLUS get some fantastic coupons! I don't receive coupons from all the companies, and some may be just 25c off, but 75% of the companies sent me either high-value coupons ($1-5 off an item) or coupons to get them for FREE! Give it a shot. Start following her 5 a day series!
