Ha! I got that thing too.... I turned it into a coupon file... ditched all the "information" and kept the dividers... put labels over the tabs and named them what I wanted. It will hold a few coupons for a while AND it fits in my purse... so woo hoo!

Yes, I received it in the mail as well. I looked at it for a second and threw it in the recycling! What a waste..

I got it, too. I didn't understand why they sent it either. I want samples and/or coupons. No, thank you to empty boxes.

My first thought was why in the world would they waste their $ on such a thing? Must have cost them a fortune to prepare and mail. Mine got tossed too. I didn't even recyle (and I'm REALLY big on that) becuase of the shiny tabs and velcro closure.

100% in Agreement. I was so excited to see the package wondering what good coupons and samples were inside. I was very disappointed to say the least. But yesterday I got a bunch of Kashi coupons from them ($3.00 and $1.50) so that sort of made up for it.

I turned mine into a q holder too, took all the literature out, turned the accordion file backwards (so the labels are clear) and viola! a pretty striped q holder...........
