Do you know the BEST way to score free items?
In case you haven’t heard, free product coupons are the new way to shop! I’m talking a 100% savings on full-priced items. The only problem is that they can be hard to come by.
It’s not impossible though and I will let you in on my little secret!
The way that I have earned the majority of my free product coupons has been through playing games. That’s right: I enter and play sweepstakes and giveaways all the time. Many companies offer these free product coupons as prizes.
You may say that you don’t have a lot of time to give to enter sweepstakes everyday. After all, you’re not guaranteed to win. However, it might not take as much time as you think — and you might just be amazed how many freebie product coupons you’ll end up with!
I make time for sweepstakes every day — just like I did when I began couponing. I allot myself 30 minutes in the morning to enter as many as I possibly can before my son wakes up.
There are a few different types of sweepstakes that you can enter online:
- Single entry
- Daily entry
- Instant-win
Consistency is key.
If a giveaway is open for 30 days and allows you to enter every day, make sure to try and enter each and every day to increase your chances of winning!
Some sweepstakes require you to enter once and others allow you to enter daily until the giveaway has ended. Always make sure that you read the contest rules before you enter! Entering multiple times in a “single-entry only” game can eliminate your chances of winning completely!
My favorite sweepstake games are instant-win games. You know the feeling that you get when you save a ton of money at the register, better known as the “coupon high”? That’s the way it feels to win an instant-win game!
If you are interested in some of these games, always remember to “Like” you favorite companies on Facebook! Not only do they often offer coupons on their Facebook pages but some will host giveaways and sweepstakes! A good bit of Facebook sweepstakes are instant-win games. You can find single and daily entry sweepstake promotions on Facebook as well.
Another great way to find free product coupons is by emailing your favorite companies. I have been sent numerous free product coupons as a “thank you” for telling them how much I enjoy their product. Companies love to hear how much you love them.
Finally, always check your coupon inserts from the Sunday paper! They are not common but some companies will offer a 100% rebate on the purchase price of one of their items. Although it’s not a coupon to receive it for free at the register, it will be free once you are reimbursed for the product. Free is free, right?
