Save Save Save :)

Ever seen this video about this women who saves every possible coupons she could from newspapers, online, flyers ...you name it.

Basically, she buy her week of supplies and only need to pay a Penny after deductions from those coupons.

Downside: Every week, she spends a couple of hours scanning through coupons.

Me: It doesn't sound that bad because I could have easily waste a couple of hours just by staring at my computer screen msn-ing or surfing the net away.

And if you're a regular on Soompi forums' Beauty and Fashion thread, there is this thread on " Samples? Freebies? Coupons? Savings?" where they can save a lot by using Online coupons.

Kudos to these US companies for making coupons as a form of marketing tool.

Why can't Singapore do the same and fully utilize this as a form of pulling factor to your shop?



So far, I've only seen









My favourite Samples website has to be TheSampleStore; you can cart out 4 samples each time and pay $2 (Depending on the weight of the samples) for it to be sent to your house.

It works base on points system. After using each sample; you will post your reviews and it will earn you 2 points which will allow you to cart out more samples in the future.

However; I do not see many coupons thing going on locally.

Maybe yes to the Smses offer/trials to "trick" customers into trying new service/product by paying a low amount on first try then pestering you to sign up their packages.


Am I right?
