Weekly mail round up

This week there was no feedback from the "apple a day project", but I have also really slacked off on contacting companies.

This weeks samples included:
1 individual tide detergent
10 pack of tide stain release packs
1 Degree women's deodorant w/ $1 off coupon
1 can Ocean Spray Sparkling Cranberry juice w/ $1 off coupon

Mail round up for the week

This week wasn't quite as good as last week and actually all this stuff came the same day so it was a great mail day for the one day!


Apple a day response:
2 $0.40 off Luzianne tea products

Other good stuff:
A whole patch of Gerber coupons
a free pack of Stride gum
a free pyrex pot holder(I have no idea how I got this :))

Did anyone else get good mail this week?

Past weeks good mail

I am love, love, loving all the good snail mail lately! Last week I posted several samples and coupons I got and now I have more :) I have started getting some responses back to from the Apple a Day Project I had mentioned previously, and it is starting to help keep me motivated and looking forward to checking the mail. This is what we have received over the last several days:

Responses from Apple a Day Project:

2 Lance coupons for 1 free box of snack crackers
1 free Bryer's Yo-crunch fruit parfait, and 2 $1 off 2
2 $1 of 1 Dole fruit cups

Other great coupons and samples:

$9.50 savings booklet from P&G
$35.75 saving booklet
$28 worth of fisher price coupons, nothing I am really looking to buy but would make great gifts to buy if I run across them on sale somewhere!
2 3ct Dentek flossers

I am hoping as the week continue to get several more samples, I have lost track of how many items I have signed up for recently all of a sudden there were all kinds of things to sign up for and I DID! But I didn't keep a list of what and how long it was supposed to take to be delivered so I guess it will just continue to be nice little surprises.
Happy Tuesday!

Apple a day project

I am way behind on my postings again, but I wanted to share this idea. I saw it on another blog and it seems like a great idea. She writes to one company every day, something good or bad depending on her family's experience with each product. In return she gets lots on nice emails back and about half the time high value coupons and or free stuff! Seems like a great plan to me. So, I have decided to start doing this also, however, due to my severe lack of organization I can't seem to remember to do it everyday. I have done several though. So far I have written: Goody's Hair products, Oscar Mayer, Nestle, Vaseline lotion, Ivory, Lance, and Hefty. I have gotten a couple emails thanking me for my feedback of the products so far. I am hoping that this coming week maybe I will get some coupons or even free products in the mail. That would definitely help me keep it up!

Also, I discovered that if you "like" Valspar Paint on FB you can sign up to get a free paint sample w/ a roller brush and pan! All packaged up and sent right to your door, how cool is that! I have been wanting to paint Hailey's room, and even though it is not a super expensive thing to do we just don't seem to have the money at the end of the month to buy the paint and supplies so....I sent samples of the same color(plink) to myself, my Dad, my Mom, my Sis, my Step MIL, and her bro's house!! I am hoping maybe possibly it will be enough to paint her room and if not, at least I won't have to buy pans and rollers and such and the samples each come with coupons to buy more paint at Lowe's :) So if you are thinking about changing up a room color you might want to check it out and get your sample and coupon before you shop! The store "re-opens" everyday at 10am eastern time, and they only do 1000 samples a day. They are giving away a total of 100,000, I am not sure how long this has been going on so if interested jump on it and try to log in right at opening, the samples seem to be gone with in 2 hrs every morning.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! We have beautiful weather here :)
