Beer Refunds: NBPN = Profit

Beer refunds can be a real gold mine, especially in states where no beer purchase is necessary. Here is a Anheuser Busch website that lists lots of current refunds:http://www.beerprofitguide.com/promotions.html
It’s not intended for customer use; you can’t print the forms, but it describes each current campaign. You could make a request list after clicking on the campaign descriptions, or if you happen to run into a Bud product rep in the store, you could ask for forms. It specifically lists which states are "No Beer Purchase Necessary" on each campaign page. Beer forms are usually available in the grocery store on end-of-aisle displays or in the beer aisle. Also check convenience stores, and some readers have had success
calling the local distributor directly. If you look closely at the picture above, you can see a pad of forms at the bottom. That's how it looks in the store. Of course, the trading boards are the easiest place to check for forms.

Gevalia Freebie -- This One Is Better

Here's a slightly different Gevalia offer. You get 4 boxes of Gevalia coffee or tea and a free coffeemaker and stainless steel travel mug for $19.95.

See the picture below. As always with Gevalia, you can cancel here or call here 1-800-438-2542 at any time with no hassle, even after you get just your first purchase. Gevalia customer service people are very polite and don't argue with you.

Walmart -- Will You Or Won't You??



There has been a lot of hubbub since the printed announcement that Walmart will accept competitor coupons. See their flier from Sunday with the blurb above. Now they are backtracking and saying it was a misprint, but others are reporting that they were successful getting Walmart to accept a competitor coupon. It's up to Walmart to set the record straight and get all their stores on the same page. If you have any first hand experience with this, report on Chat.

Couponing In China, And My Random Thoughts

Here's an interesting article about how couponing is catching on it China. (Thanks Tayler) That's the last place I would have thought couponing and bargain hunting would be big. It just shows that it's a popular mindset that appeals to people of all ages even across cultural lines. But this line really rubbed me the wrong way:

"This isn't your grandma or a housewife cutting out Sunday coupons in her kitchen, because they are the future," said Leeon Zhu, a senior planner at the advertising firm Young and Rubicam's Shanghai office. "And they're at the forefront of retail consumption growth in this country."

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of hearing couponing referred to as 'your grandmother's hobby'. There are websites now that brag that they aren't your grandmother's coupon sites. Shopping with coupons, bargain hunting and saving money has absolutely nothing to do with age. The latest generation is as big on it as the last generation, and that cycle will continue. It's like some people want to make it more appealing by distancing themselves from their old fogey parents/grandparents. Well, listen up. We (us old grandmothers) invented power shopping with coupons. Give a little respect where respect is due. Couponing appeals to people with a certain mindset. There are plenty of grandmothers, mothers, and daughters who wouldn't shop without them. There are plenty of grandmothers, mothers, and daughters who wouldn't touch a coupon with a ten foot pole. So let's stop insulting an entire generation with negative comments. All of us, with the coupon mindset, are in this Coupon Craziness together -- regardless of age!
