Happy Friday: Coupon Proposal
Sent from reader, Meghan:
This past Friday I got home from work and was talking to my boyfriend as I was going through our mail. I was really excited because I got 3 months of the Whole Living Magazine I just signed up for using my Recyclebank points (I am in LOVE with getting all my magazines through Recyclebank!) Sticking out of the top was an advertisement with a special offer. The print and color was really cute so I pulled it out to see what type of product it was for. As I was looking at it I was like, “HEY, that’s me…a picture of me” and then thought “these photo companies are getting really high-tech” (assuming they sent me an ad to entice me to order by using an image on file from one of my previous coupon deals).
However, it wasn’t for a free photo deal, it was for a Free Husband! My super special guy figured out the perfect way to propose to this couponer! He even included coupon terms and a UPC code (the 08132006 portion is our anniversary). He works at a printing company, so a coworker helped him make this for me, which makes it super thoughtful, sweet, special and FREE!!! I feel like the internet and all these YouTube proposals put a lot of pressure on guys to do something grandiose and expensive, so I just wanted to show that something thoughtful and FREE could stack up just as well 🙂
HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

My fiance proposed to me this summer with a coupon as well! It was also my birthday, and a coupon he designed fell out of the card, redeemable for “A memory of a lifetime.” He told me that I had to stand to redeem my coupon, and that’s when he got down on one knee. Congratulations to you and I’m so excited to see someone else’s guy did the same thing! EEEK! 🙂
How sweet, love it too! 🙂 Congratulations to you as well!!! 🙂
