Did you all see the post yeaterday about how you can get a FREE package of Huggies Slip On diapers? Well, I just wanted to let you all know it worked!! I just submitted this video:

They said my diapers should be here in 4-6 weeks. THis literally took me like 5 minutes to do. I used my phones camcorder and uploaded it. Pretty easy and quick for a free package of diapers!! So, moms of diaper age babies, if you haven't done it yet, go do it now! (See info on how to do so here.

This is so awesome (and SOOO needed in this house!)

Right now, you can get a coupon for a FREE package of Huggies Slip-On Diapers. It takes a tiny bit of work though. You have to go here and submit a video of your squirmy baby. (You can choose to upload a video file, record directly from your webcam, or select a You Tube Video that you have already created featuring your baby.)

The baby depicted in the video must be of diaper age, only one baby per video, andyou have to be the parent or legal guardian of the baby.

After submitting your video, they provide you with a unique link for your coupon. You will have to log into huggies.com and select the size you want (only in sizes 3, 4 and 5). There are a lot of rules. You can check them out here.

And now to get a video before the March 30th deadline...do you think they will mind that my baby has chicken pox all over?! Maybe I should wait a couple weeks... :)

Thanks The Freebie Junkie.

Yesterday, Huggies posted the following message on Facebook:

"You spoke and we listened! We love our fans and know how much you appreciate coupons, & that’s why we’re sharing a $3 off coupon valid for Little Movers or Little Snugglers diapers! Note: While we welcome & encourage all of you to join our community (we love Huggies parents!), you do not have to be a fan to redeem this coupon."

The link is here.

Thank you HUggies for ANOTHER great $3/1 coupon!!!

I got an email yesterday from Huggies with a NEW link for a $3 off coupon. It worked for me to print, so I hope it will work for you too! Click here to test it out. Let me know if it works for you!

Did you get the $3 off Huggies Diapers coupons I told you about here? If so, you can get a great deal at Walgreens this week. Before I tell you about the deal though, I wanted to note that on Saturday when I went to my local Walgreens, jumbo packs of Huggies diapers were on clearance for $3 a pack. They did not have any my baby's size, but I used one of my $3 off coupons and got a free pack to give my sister-in-law for her new baby. So, check youe local store and see if they have any clearance diapers. I found mine right by the regular priced ones.

Now, if you aren't lucky enough to get the diapers free, here is a pretty good diaper deal anyway. Take 3 of the $3 off huggies diapers coupons to Walgreens this week. The Jumbo packs are on sale for $8.99 each (regular price at Walgreens here is $11.99). AND when you buy 3 packs, you get a $5 Register Reward back to use on your next purchase. So, here is the math:

Buy 3 Jumbo packs Diapers @ $8.99 each=$26.97
Use (3) $3 off coupons = $9 off = $17.97 + $5 RR (so it's like you got the 3 packs of diapers for $12.97)

(Remember, if you do not often go to Walgreens, but want to take advantage of the Register Rewards, you can always buy the diapers and in the same trip buy something else in a seperate transaction and use the $5 RR immediately on the 2nd transaction.)

Right now you can get a couple different coupons for $3 off Huggies Diapers! And if you click back after you print them the first time, they should print a second time, making a total of 4 coupons you could potentially print. Yeah! If you have kids in diapers like me these coupons are like a mini miracle!

To get one, you need to be a Facebook Fan here and click on the link in their status.

To get the other one go here to Coupons.com.

I would print these now because you never know how long they'll last!

One of the frugal blogs I love and check out everyday is Couponing to Disney. Not only does she have great deal ideas & Freebies, but she pays for Disney trips with money from "smart shopping"!! (How much do I love Disney?!) One program she started is her 5-a-Day program. You can read all about her project here but basically, she emails 5 companies a day to compliments or complains to them about their product.

I bring up her amazing program (which she obviously put A LOT of time and effort into), because it brings up a great bargain/coupon tip. That is that often if you just email a company and let them know about your experience with their product, whether good or bad, they will often send you coupons or freebies. I do not email companies everyday, but if I have a genuine experience, whether good or bad with a product or company, I always write. To be honest, if I have a bad experience, I am far more likely to write. Let me tell you about a couple experiences I have had.

This one was quite a while back, but here it is. I went to my local Hyvee with my brand new debit card. I had never used it and I was anxious to do so (as I never truly believe it will work until it does). Well this time my fears were confirmed as it did not work. I was embarrassed, but told the checker that I would just pay on my credit card (Curses, I hate having to do THAT). But before I could even get my card out, the manager on duty came over yelling at me about how my card would not work and I was going to have to do something else. There were people I know there and she made an already embarrassing situation MUCH worse. On my way out the door I took note of the general managers name, phone number and email, and the second I got home, I called and emailed him. Within an hour I had 2 phone calls from the store, and 2 emails of apology. 2 Days later, a $25 gift card and a handwritten apology letter from the mean manager came in the mail.

Over the weekend, my husband and I had plans across town from Cheeseburger in Paradise, but wanted to try eating there even though it was out of the way. However, to make our across town plans, we thought we would need a reservation. As it turns out, they do not take reservations, but they do take call ahead seating and they assured us on the phone that if our whole party was there by 6:45, we would be seated right then. When we arrived (with a minute to spare) and told her our name and that we called ahead, the hostess told us we would have to wait 20-25 minutes and I questioned her about the promise on the phone. She snottily said "Oh you called ahead?" (we had already been over that once) Then after a couple more minutes of her realizing that we were on her list (and she had screwed up) she said, "I guess we might be able to get you in in about 10-15 minutes." I was pissed as it was already 5 minutes past our seating time and could not make our plans if we waited. I told her we would not wait or ever return there. She LAUGHED at us and said "K, 'Bye!" After this rude, terrible service, we went to Chipotle where we had GREAT service, GREAT food and a salvaged quick meal before our plans. When I got home I emailed both Cheeseburger in Paradise and Chipotle. I got an apology from Cheesburger in Paradise corporate office saying I would hear from the exact location soon. Nothing from Chipotle yet.

Last night I emailed Huggies to let them know that using another brand of wipes recently reminded me why I always use Huggies, and I thanked them for maintaining high quality products for my babies. This morning I had an email from them thanking me for taking the time to email them and letting me know they had sent me coupons in the mail.

You can and should be an opinionated consumer. Do not be afraid to let a company know about your experience with them. You might get some benefit out of your letter which is ideal, but for me, I just like to have my opinion heard. So, go out there and email the companies that make your life easier or the ones that do not. Be proactive though and tell the companies what you think! After you do, let me know if you hear back!

***Update: In response to the emails I sent in these examples, Cheesburger in Paradise sent an appology letter and an invitation to return and let them make up for it-there was a $25 gift certificate included.


Huggies mailed me 3-$2 off coupons. And since this email I have emailed and gotten free and high value coupons from Kikkoman and Stacy's Pita Chips as well.***
