It pays to hold onto coupons that you find in sales papers or mail packets.
- Those advertisements that show up in your mailbox could have great coupons in them that you’d otherwise overlook if you threw them away separate from taking a look first.
I managed to get a 50%-off pizza yeahterday because I made a point to look through all of the marketing paperwork that had showed up in my mailbox. For years I simply threw all of this junk mail away because I figured the coupons were cheap ploys by these companies to generate interest. While that is actually true in several instances, I have l acquired that about half of the coupons are worth my time and interest. Between cheaper pizzas and rebate offers for new appliances, it’s worth it to quickly scan your junk mail before mindlessly putting it in the garbage or recycling bin. I recently discovered a coupon that was a $300 mail-in rebate for a new central Heating and A/C system. It was a new heating and cooling supplier trying to generate interest and new company among people in the community. I decided to call this new heating and cooling company and negotiate a competitive quote on a new system and was glad with the result. The new system was going to have a higher SEER rating than my outdated 1. This will result in better air cooling performance at a lower cost as well. With the improvement in power and cost with the mail-in rebate, I was getting the deal of a lifetime on a new central Heating and A/C system. Now I will regularly be careful when I get “junk” mail in my mailbox, especially if any of it is from a company selling appliances.
