If your family is anything like mine, you have some tried and true favorites that you always come back to. Some of ours are Pop-Tarts, Baked Lays, Diet Coke, Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls … just to name a few.

Several years ago, it occured to me that perhaps I was missing out on some additional savings by not getting in touch with these companies. A quick trip to the corporate websites confirmed – QUICKLY – that I was right.

Corporations want to communicate with you. They want to know that you’re a fan! Many, if not all, of the sites will have a “Sign Up” function. Before you register, I have one piece of advice: SET UP A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS – an email address that you will use only for coupons/promotions. A few trips to corporate websites will quickly fill up your regular inbox. Creating a new box will allow you to keep promotions separate from personal emails. I’ve done it both ways – trust me. It’s a nightmare otherwise.

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you find. I love hearing about new products, gaining additional coupons, having new recipes for products I love, and being confident in the brands that I use in my household.

Remember … “there’s no cents in paying full price!”
