Sometimes It’s More Then Just A Free Sample!

Sometimes people ask if it’s worth signing up for all these freebies and coupons.  Well, sometimes you get more then you thought.  When Maria signed up for the Annie’s Free Picnic Guide that I posted back in February, she wound up with an entire case of Annies Mac & Cheese.  What do ya think of that?  Here is what Maria said.

Cindy:
Back in February you posted a Free Picnic Guide and $15 worth of coupon offer from Annie’s. I participated and must have also joined
their Expert Panel.

About a month ago I received this email below. I love to give my opinions and was a little wary about receiving the case of mac and cheese they mentioned. I filled out the survey and today UPS delivered the box of 12 Annie’s Mac and Cheese. It was a nice surprise. Thank you for your postings, you will never know how much you have helped me through a really rough time in my life.

Here is the email I receive:
Thank you for agreeing to participate in surveys about the Annie’s brand. We are delighted to have you on our “Expert Panel.”

We would love your participation in a survey designed help us better understand the needs and preferences of our customers, including your opinion about some of our competitors. This survey is longer and more detailed than our typical survey; we estimate that it will take about
30-40 minutes to complete.

To show our appreciation, if you complete the survey, we will send you a FREE case of Annie’s mac ‘n’ cheese. You will also be entered automatically into a drawing for ONE of FOUR $50 Amazon.com gift certificates.

So, look at that.  You just never know.  I know I was surprised to receive a sleeve of Green Mountain K Cups and a travel mug when I signed up for that freebie.  Have you been surprised by the freebies or coupons you received?

(Thanks for sharing Maria!)
