Finding Coupons for Specific Brands
In this week’s video I lay out some of the ways you can save on specific brands!
My last video was on Breaking Brand Loyalties, but I know that some of you have certain products that you have to have. Whether it be certain baby foods (which I can relate to) or dietary restrictions on food due to allergies, illness or maybe just preference, you can still save on those products too!
Checking brands websites, Facebook pages, or even calling them can result in some great coupons or savings programs.
Do you have any creative ways for getting coupons from your favorite brands?

that I will use next to any item that would work well for an Operation Christmas Child box.

With the new craze for yogurt going on, here’s a coupon you might want to give a try. It is a B1G1 coupon (use zip code 75204) that brings the price of two LaLa Yogurt Smoothies down from 93¢ to 47¢ each at Walmart.
There is an advertisement on the coupon letting you know the stores that carry LaLa drinks, but it is a manufacturer’s coupon that can be redeemed at anywhere
I’m actually not a huge fan of traditional yogurt, but maybe drinking it in smoothie form will work for me!
