Where to get coupons?

    Is there any one website that has lots of different coupons?

    I used to use pigsback and bubblegum.ie, but bubblegum is gone and pigsback isn't as good as it used to be.

    Or is there any company I could register with that would post me out vouchers because the ink in the printer is getting low.

    Also, if I wrote a letter to a few company's saying how much I love their product, would they send me vouchers or even a free box of stuff? Anybody tried that?

    Vouch for you Ireland on Facebook is newly set up. Seen it on here and people will post up links in the comment section to vouchers they've found.
    I've tried to get in touch with companies to see if they'll send coupons out but only big Al's did. The rest either ignored or just said thanks for the feed back!
    Coupons in Ireland are like gold dust. I've trawled the Internet for hours at a time and only find a couple!
    They actually should do a book of vouchers like America on a Sunday in all the papers to use in the main supermarkets with a good date on it which possibly would get people spending in them. Better than spending nothing at all really.

    What a great idea, but it is Ireland and company's here do not use clever ideas like yours. Pity..

    found the same myself coupons are impossible to find in ireland although i took one tip from the american extreme couponing. i emailed a few irish food company's like bread and cheese in the emails i said i am a faithful customer and i love purchasing their products although with a ressesion and a small child i was finding it hard not to switch to cheaper alternative products and if they had any vouchers i would be able to use.left my address on it and two weeks later i had money off coupons for bread cheese milk meat and some irish cereals this does take awhile to send off and write the emails but try it it definatly works

    I have done that myself but I find if I write a letter I get on better I even got tea bags from England and vouchers for tin fish which I love this week every thing helps keep the presses full :)

    I e-mailed DANONE over a week ago requesting vouchers or money off coupons for Actimel & no reply to date.

    I found a lump of mould in a dairy product (still well in date) about 6 months ago so I emailed the company, with attached photos. They replied apologising profusely and asked for my address, which I of course gave.

    They sent me a tea towel.

    Sound.

    Is their an actual thread where we can post companies who have emailed us back with or without coupons?
    I took the hint of extreme couponing myself also and have emailed a few companies so far but I'm finding it hard to think of companies lol Nestle got back to me with a big no can do, said they would loose too much money :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 Kayraa


    Hey all, so I emailed Actimel and they are sending me out vouchers in the post Unfortunately they are the only ones so far that got back to me agreeing to send me some. I am still waiting to hear form others though so fingers crossed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 Kayraa


    I emailed barry's tea two days ago and today they sent me out a letter and a free box of tea bags saying they had no vouchers and hoped I enjoy their complementary box of tea bags :D I'd say a bit of a win lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 Kayraa


    I got a €5 Danone voucher and a 60c coupon in the mail today, also got big al's coupons and yazoo coupons :)

    What are you saying in the emails that gets you free stuff and vouchers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 Kayraa


    What are you saying in the emails that gets you free stuff and vouchers?

    I just say, I am a faithful customer and i love purchasing your products although with a recession I am finding it hard not to switch to cheaper alternative products, if you have any vouchers i would be able to use that would be great. Even ones online I can print.

    and then I put my address and end it with Regard's Kayraa :)

    register for supersavvyme.co.uk when you go to coupons click on the euro sign at the top of the page, don't know how often they change them. Also keep an eye on product websites, sometimes they do some.

    Not on the scale of US. It's in all local & national papers. The problem is Ireland is such a small country our business is more or less not worth the price of placing those coupons.

    Unfortunately, I know when I wrote to all the companies including pigs back It was not in their interest to write back. It's all about market share & how people shop.

    Market's too small to bear the cost of the initial losses from coupon campaigns of that scale also. We are never, ever going to have a setup like in that bloody TLC show.
