If It’s Broke, They’ll Fix It

Everyone seems to be on a budget these days. We could all use new ideas on how to save money. Recently I found out, if a product stops working before it should, you might be able to get it replaced (I do not save receipts).
Last week, my son’s LeapFrog Leapster game cartridge stopped working. I called their toll-free number and they agreed to send me a new one, if I mailed them the old one. I just saved $24.00.
About 4 months ago, my Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner stopped working. I found their toll-free number on their website and called them. They asked for the model number and agreed to send me a coupon for a free one. I just saved $2.
Every little bit of money helps when you are on a budget. How do you save money these days? Do you know of other companies with similar policies? Leave a comment and share them with us.
By the way, here are the customer service numbers if you happen to need them:
Leapfrog: 1-800-701-5327
Scrubbing Bubbles (SC Johnson): 1-877-506-7352
And, if you want a coupon to save $7 on the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner Starter Kit, here’s the link to it.

Well, it’s not getting free replacements for broken toys, but it’s a money saver. I found this great deal going on at Toys R Us until September 20th. It’s called the Great Trade-In Event. Here’s the description of it from Toys R Us:
“From Friday, August 28 through Sunday, September 20, Babies”R”Us and Toys”R”Us stores nationwide are holding the “Great Trade-In” event, providing our customers the opportunity to trade-in any used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, playards or high chairs in exchange for a 20% savings on the purchase of any new baby item, in any of these product categories, from select manufacturers.”
I found the event online right here http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3629015
