How I Get Printable Coupons in the Mail (Brick Coupons 101)

About Bricks E-Coupons
  • What is a “brick coupon”?  It is a specific type of printable coupon distributed by coupons.com.
  • Some, but not all, brick coupons can be mailed to you for free.
  • Finding, requesting, and using mailed brick coupons is an alternative to couponing methods that require some “investment” in newspapers, inserts, ink, or paper.
  • Some of the freebies (that were actually free) that I’ve gotten by using mailable brick coupons:  Scotties tissues, Dove deodorant, Veet wax strips, Renuzit air freshener, and Zyrtec 5 ct.
Locating Mail-able Brick Coupons
  • This is what the print screen (Edy’s is a recent example) for a brick coupon looks like:   
  • Check to see if a brick coupon is mail-able by clicking the “Help” link (see above) located on the lower right corner of the print screen.
  • A brick coupon is mail-able when this form opens in the Troubleshooting Guide.  After submitting your information, you should receive the coupon in the mail in about a week.
  • If the Troubleshooting Guide looks like this, the coupon can be printed but it will not be mailed:

I’ll Be Damned

Today was a very exciting mail day for me, even more exciting than usual, because I received an advanced copy of a book by one of my favorite authors, Damned by Chuck Palahniuk!  Two days ago this was briefly the status on Chuck Palahniuk’s Facebook fan page: “ARE YOU THERE, BLOGGERS?: We’ve got a big box of galleys of Chuck’s newest calamity literally burning through our shelves.  Send addy and blog url…for a chance to get your copy.  Bloggers only!”  I didn’t think my insignificant blog would count, but I sent an email anyway… and ended up with a copy of the book before it hits stores!  Best of all, the book was free!  I would have purchased this book anyway, so I just saved myself at least $14.37.

Thankfully, the books weren’t “literally” burning through shelves after all (I normally cringe when people misuse that word, especially when those people apparently work for Doubleday, but I will happily let it slide, just this once) as my copy is in brandy-new condition and soot-free.  While I do hope you guys check out this book, don’t get too excited:  It won’t be available to purchase until October 18!

I also received 2 Scotch Adhesive Dot Rollers and coupons for refills, and a very handy Suave sample pack from Walmart, including body wash for men, sweet pea & violet body lotion, and the cutest can of dry shampoo.

Sorry, friends.  These freebies are no longer available.
