I hope I am as lucky as you with them. I complimented them on their party crackers the original 7 grain ones, and I really hope I get some frees for them too. I really really love those crackers, but they are so expensive. They emailed saying they were sending coupons, but we will see.

I have noticed that different people get different things from the same company. Like one person said they got a coupon for free A&H cat litter for a compliment. Well, I was really looking forward to getting one of those Q's and today I got a $1 off :frown:. I know I should be happy to receive anything, but I was still a little bummed. I also got a few more cents off Q's from Sara Lee today too.

I just joined here today and have read this entire post. Thanks everyone.

Today, I picked up the phone and called Tyson. I told them that "they saved my sanity because I couldn't get me 1 1/2 year old to eat anything but mac and cheese until I tried their chicken nuggets. She gobbles them up. {pause}. I just wanted to thank you for a great product." The lady was grateful I took the time to call and asked if it would be ok to get my address and send me some coupons. I acted surprised and said thanks, I use coupons with things being tight and I'd appreciate it very much.

I had a similar conversation with SeaPak about their shrimp. I threw in that I live in south on the coast and I was surprised to find they were out of GA and we support local shrimp. She pointed out they have a commercial line of Atlantic coast shrimp and asked if she could send me some coupons....

Anyway, I also sent out a few emails and got quite a few responses right away. I'll post updates when I get them. Thanks again for this great resource.

I emailed Splenda to tell them how great the product is and they sent me nice chart to go on the fridge and some coupons for .55 off. I emailed them when I got the package to tell them how greatful I was of it and they sent me a $3 off 1 coupon.
