A Little Love in the Supermarket

By JohnHenry Read more 25th Anniversary, giving, healthy eating, mindful eating, and neighbors
I know it probably sounds weird, but I honestly love going to the supermarket. Some people look at it as a chore, but for me, it’s a little bit of an adventure. I usually shop at my local Henry’s and I love scouting out all the fresh produce and seeing what’s in season. Of course I have to check out the cereal aisle to see what’s happening there, and investigate what kinds of flavors they have in the Earths Best baby food section for my daughter. I also love seeing what’s on sale, because, hey, who doesn’t love a bargain, right?

So that’s where I decided to give back. What better way to give back a little bit of Kashi love than to hand out some free box coupons? So for the last month or so, every time I go to my local Henry’s I bring a couple of coupons for a free Kashi product with me. I scour the cereal, cracker, granola bar, cookie, and frozen sections of the store and I look for people who are browsing. I casually go up to folks and ask if they’d like to try a Kashi product for free. If they’ve been deliberating for a little while, that usually helps them to make up their mind fast! Most people look pretty skeptical at first, like I’m giving them a fake coupon or something. But in the end I’m always able to convince them that it’s for real, and by the time they leave the aisle people are pretty psyched about it!

Sometimes if I’m there late at night on a diaper run and there aren’t that many folks shopping, I’ll just leave a couple of strategically placed coupons for folks to discover on their own.

Has anybody out there found one of these secret coupons floating around? Have you ever tried anything really unique just because you had a coupon for it?

    You know what. I signed up for coupons and got the run around. I may just stop buying Kashi all together because of this. What a way to treat customers.

      The same for me. Just 5 minutes ago saw the ploy for coupons on TV. I went to the site, gave out me info and couldn’t get past the page that said Coupon, Coupon, Coupon. After reading comments BACK TO LAST YEAR! I believe that Kashi is bogus. What a rip off and waste of my time and energy. NOTHING BUT ANOTHER RUNAROUND BY BIG BUSINESS!

    So annoyed! Came to the site looking for coupons and dismayed not to find any AND I gave out my email, which I rarely do. Not to mention the comments suggest that the coupons you eventually get in the newsletter are for things like frozen pizza. I am eating homemade granola for breakfast this week in protest.

    My exposure to kashi has been on a self-imposed limited amount (having tried a product once and being unhappy, it was a cereal that got really soggy really fast) until I tried a free sample snack bar. It was excellent and it fit into my dietary habits. I now buy the TLC pnut butter bars regularly (even though I can ill afford them!)Giving out coupons for Kashi products would be a pleasure! I watch folks buy sugary fat laden snacks in grocery stores and I would truly love to place Kashi coupons where these folks would see them, get a Kashi product and woosh! There goes one less sugary fat laden snack purchase! They’ll buy a healthy well balanced Kashi snack instead. Kashi scores!

    If you sign up on the Kashi website, they periodically send you free samples and coupons…usually enough for yourself and some to share. They also do not send bunches of e-mails or sell your address. I have been very pleased with all of the products that they send and recommend them to everyone…Love Kashi

    Hello all. I would like to see coupons, too. The company has been able to advertise and do brand marketing in the past. Well it’s time for them to do the right thing and give coupons. Kashi should get off their seats and start giving out coupons for their products. Disposable income is not where it once was and if they don’t start getting coupons I will look for alternatives for their products. Nothing personal, but if they don’t care about their customers I don’t care about their products.
    They promotoe coupons on all their products, but none are here.

    Hi Everyone – The best way to stay in the loop on new Kashi coupons is to join the Kashi Community at http://www.kashi.com/account/new (make sure you check the box to receive Kashi newsletters and updates). Once you’ve joined our community, you may also be interested in becoming a part of our insider group, Kashi Connect, for even more coupon opportunities (plus Kashi Connect members may even receive samples from time to time!). I hope this info is helpful!

    I did get some coupons for some of the frozen entrees and pizzas so I decided to try them. While I was initially excited to get $1.50 of a pizza, upon inspection and sampling, I was greatly disappointed.

    I would love to know where these little pieces of gold are. It is something the Doctor would order. Now for placement I would place these golden tickets next to the milk and with the Kashi. I would also place them with the snack foods to give parents an option of feeding the kids junk or something healthy.
    Now to the hunt to find these golden tickets.

    Where do you get Kashi coupons? I was looking on the site today but can’t find any of them. I love Kashi because they have fantastic products that help me eat healthy without feeling guilty for not making it myself! I feel confident in the quality of the ingredients and nutritional value of the food! I am an avid coupon user because it helps me make ends meet on a tight budget. I would really appreciate receiving coupons for Kashi! Hope everyone has a Happy, Healthy, and Blessed New Year!

    Happy Holidays. I try to stay away from junk food and eat healthy. It’s a must for me due to terrible stomach problems. However, money is tight for me at the moment and to spend $7.00 and up for a box of cereal that I’ve never tried is a little scary because if I don’t like it, it goes to waste along with my investment. I was hoping you might have samples and/or coupons for your products so I can sample your products guilt free? Thank you.

    When I receive Kashi coupons in the mail, I take them to the grocery store. I use all I need and the reminders are left on or near the product. It seems that people enjoy that practice and the supermarket encourage it. Since my printer is out of function, I wait for the mail to bring me free samples and coupons from Kashi company.

    What a great idea.

I’ve received some of your product coupons and I love everything you make. If you need help spreading the news in Kansas I will be more than happy to help! Have a wonderful Christmas
