5 A Day recap - Writing companies to receive coupons
One of the greatest resources for coupons is directly from the manufacturer themselves. That's why I started 5 A Day (see details and info here). Monday - Friday I post 5 companies for you to email. We have finally reached our 50th 5 A Day post (that means 250 companies emailed!) so I decided to make this awesome list of what we have received so far. This list will be updated daily as new coupons are received, so refer to it often!
You can catch up on all the 5 A Day posts here.

Thanks for all your hard work compiling this list. This is great, I went through and picked the ones I wanted to compliment. Hope I get some good coupons! Thanks again girl!
Katie
Wow - this is a great list and a great idea. I am sure companies want to know their customes thoughts.
Thank you so much for this wonderful list. I too wrote a few well deserve complaints and compliments today. Let's see what happens.
This is AMAZING! Nice work!
What a great idea! Thanks for all of your hard work. Do you include your address in the e-mail or how do they send you the coupons?
I emailed ziploc and told them how much i loved there stemfresh bags and they sent me a coupon for a free ziploc product up to $3.00. thanks for the list!
Thanks for this post. I've had problems with a few products and never really knew if a complaint letter would work. Now I know better!
I have received coupons from the following:
Arrowhead Mills - 2 55c off coupons
Brown Cow Farms - 50c off 1
Garden of Eatin' - 2 55c off coupons
Little Bear Foods - 1 FREE Product, 1 $0.55 off and 2 $0.50 off Celestial Seasons tea

Did you have any trouble with the fact that many of these products are made by the same company (i.e. SC Johnson)? I was just wondering if their service dept. started scratching their heads at the abundance of e-mails from one person about different products and maybe stopped sending coupons.
Thank you for this post! I, too, went through both lists (yours as well as your friend's) and emailed the companies that I really love! I hope to hear back from them. Thanks!
I LOVE DISNEY
thank you so much for this list. i went through and complimented quite a few and i hope to recieve some great coupons
no coupon from duracell
I grabbed your button but the code isn't working!!!
I e-mailed Huggies, and told them how much I loved their diapers, they replied saying that they appreciated my business and were sending me coupons. I got the coupons, one for $6 any huggies diapers, and $2 any huggies product!! Makes me love Huggies even more!
I got an email back from duracell thanking me for the comment, but no coupon :(
Nothing from Nabisco either. I am not turning up a lot here. 2 coupons total only and about 10 emails.
I emailed Huggies on 10/27 and received 2 coupons for free jumbo pack of diapers ($9-$10 value) and 2 coupons for $1 off diaper product (including wipes) on 10/30! This is awesome!
In re: to my earlier post, it is NOT good to e-mail about multiple SCJohnson products in the same week. They sent me one general response regarding all my e-mails and one coupon booklet for a variey of SCJohnson products, most of which were not as valuable as the ones listed here.
I have received coupons from the following co.'s:
Gillette Venus: One FREE Venus Embrace razor
Oust: FREE Product up to $3.75
Skintimate: $.75 off shave gel
And I've emailed more companies who said they were going to send me some coupons. Another website to check to get free Always products is www.beinggirl.com and go to the free sample page. Thanks!
Hi! I was just wondering if in your email you give your address information? Or do they write back and ask you for that? I haven't done this before but think it's a great idea!!!
This is great! Thank you. By any chance it there a way to download this list so I can use it offline? Just a thought.
If I have to email them, I sign the letter with my name is address. Usually they have a form you fill out on the website and there is a spot for your address.
I am not sure how to make a downloadable list. You could print it, but that's about all I know.
I e-mailed Huggies also, as this is the brand I usually use, all I got back from them was a couple of $1.00 off coupons. I can print larger value coupons. Boo to Huggies!!
I have had great luck with emailing the companies! I think this is such a wonderful idea! Thank you for taking the time to put the list together and to keep up on it on which companies have sent you stuff :-)
I've gotten quite a few coupons, a few I can re-call off the top of my head are:
Kahiki- (3) 1.50 off
Michelina's (2) Free Products
Glade free air wicks (i think that is what they are called, with the sticks) up to $9.00 (plus an additional coupon booklet)
Glade free plug in up to 5.50 (plus an additional coupon booklet)
Luv's Diapers (2) 5.00 off
Hershey's free bag of any candy by hersheys
Ora Ida (2) 75 off coupons, plus many more coupons from tgif snacks, bagel bites, etc
And there were quite a few more and a lot more emails promising I'll be getting coupons in the mail in the next few weeks :)
love your 4 and 5 a day posts. youve saved me tons of money. i look forward to checking my mail to find out what coupons i have received. thanks alot for the posts.
Blue Bee coupons are also know as coupon code, discount or Blue Bee promo code. We deal in two ways.blue bee coupon code will lead you to a special promotion page or a discount landing page. You can get suitable discount .
Thank you so much for this! I too have been having a problem with Luvs diapers but mine has been the straps coming off. Thanks again!
I just started emailing companies about a week or two ago. I recieved a few thank you emails, with no coupons, and a few emails that will be sending me coupons. So far I got my huggies coupons, 4 coupons in total: 1 for $6.00, 1 for $3.00 and 2 for $1.00. I've been having issues w/the huggies diapers lately and made a complaint. Thanks Kristen for the list and for the sample emails.
Angela
Do you take requests? I love Fisher Price diapers but missed out on their big Black Friday sale. I looked all over their site and can't find contact info.
I wrote to Fisher Price about their diapers. I actually sent them snail mail. No coupons, but a letter thanking me for using their products. I did get a coupon for a complaint though. One of the packs we got, the tabs kept ripping off.
I wrote Brawny paper towels and complimented and received a coupon for three free rolls up to $6.00 value.
thanks for you list!!
lcannon1967@yahoo.com
I've emailed Healthy Choice (complaint, thier Honey Ginger chicken meal is just awful!) and they sent me one free meal coup.
I emailed Hienz gravy (used the FatF Turkey gravy for Thanskgiving becasue I don't know how to make gravy and the gravy tasted great but turned to water after only 30 minutes, husband and kid complained) they sent me 1 free jar plus a few other $0.50 coups.
Emailed Seventh Gneration, they only sent me coups that can be found online ($1.00 off various, with short expiry's)
Emailed Method telling them I wanted to try them and wondered about coups. They kindly said they would send samples plus coups, I emailed them my address, after about 4 weeks I recieved 2 measly $1.00 coups with no samples! They had higher coups than that on their site! Booo to Method. I'm not greedy, just thought they'd atleast send the same value as their website or slightly higher, never got the samples either.
Also got 1 $1.00 from Jose Ole for compliment.
I just wanted to comment that my company used to print "Freebie" coupons for the Clorox company. We used to print:
Free gallons of Clorox Bleach
Free container of Clorox Wipes
Free container of Armor-All products
Free Fresh Step cat litter
Free K.C. Masterpeice BBQ sauce
Free Hidden Valley Ranch
Free Kingsford Charcoal
I think we had some sort of one for Brita As well. I don't know about the rest of their product lineup but I know they had freebies for these ones. (Keep in mind I worked there about 3 years ago) It's worth a try!
