Why I Use Voucher Coupons for Free Groceries

I just discovered a way to get free groceries. In these hard economic times who doesn't like free anything, but especially free groceries. I will share with you what I just learned from a friend about manufacturer's vouchers. That's right, the manufacturers help you buy your groceries for free. Here are the details.

Companies are wanting people to try their products especially their new or improved products. The first step is to sit down and figure out which products you use every month. Most of the vouchers are from well known companies such as Heinz or Pepsi. But you can look at companies that you buy from every month and write these too.

I created a form letter that i send stating that I either have had a problem with their merchandise if in fact I have or that I think very highly of their product and have been telling people about them. In return, the companies will send you vouchers. most of the vouchers are totally free. You don't pay a penny. They come with a nice form letter saying, " Thanks for shopping with us. " I know people who write and complain to get their vouchers, but I feel that is dishonest. I recently did write when a gallon of milk was bad. The date on the label was fine, so the store could not refund me my money, but the company sent me a coupon for a free gallon of milk

Are there downfalls to this? Yes of course. First of all, you spend a lot of time writing companies and finding their addresses. But once you have the form letter on file and their address recorded, that is taken care of.

Also, if you write the same company over and over, they will get suspicious. I haven't written the same company twice yet, so will let everyone know how that goes. Thirdly, it does cost a bit to mail all the letters. I suppose you could email the companies, but I haven't tried this route yet

There are countless books on the Internet, or ebooks telling you how to do this. Being the smart cookie that I am, I figured out on my own., perhaps if I bought the books I could save even more, but I refuse to do things illegally, and I sure some of the tactics are iffy to say the least.

I have been getting manufacturers vouchers now for about two months. So far, I have calculated a monthly saving of about 20 percent off of my grocery bill. When I add in coupons, and buy one get one free specials, I end up saving somewhere near 50 percent off of my grocery bill. While that may not add up to free groceries, I would say it is quit a bit of savings. Try using manufacturer vouchers for yourself and see how the savings add up.
