Coupons Saves Money on Food
Let’s face it–food is expensive. The average family spends just over 10% of their household income buying groceries–over $6,000 a year–and even while average wages have gone down, the price of food keeps going up. When you are just trying to feed your family that is a pretty scary prospect. That said, as more and more people are beginning to realize, coupons can be a great way to save money on food.
The grocery store is the most obvious place to save money with coupons. The biggest secret of people who save the most at the store are those who match coupons with "loss leaders" -- those heavily discounted items they feature in their ads in order to get you through their door.
Food is expensive these days, so grocery shoppers must be diligent in looking for bargains. Products cycle on a seasonal basis. Late winter and early spring are for allergy medicine and tissue deals. Late spring and early summer are the time to buy condiments, barbecue sauces, marinades, lemonade and grilling products. In July and August, look for back-to-school products, and in late fall, soups, oats, hand soap, sanitizers, cold remedies and tissues.
True Blue Coupons prints and distributes a bi-monthly mailer to homes and businesses along with the regular mail. Specific zip codes are targeted with each mailer so merchants can target a very specific geographic area. We send mailers out to an ever growing area. Currently we cover McHenry County Illinois.
Our 11 x 15 inch mailer is designed to be scanned over quickly so your ad doesn't get lost among several pages of coupons and specials. In fact each mailer only has enough space for 14 ads, each measuring 3 .5" x 5.25" inches. It is not folded or stuffed in an envelope or newspaper. It cradles the daily mail when slid into mailboxes and lays flat when set on a desk or table. It is great direct exposure and something people will save in a draw for future reference.
Local consumers are already growing familiar True Blue Coupons and have come to associate it with great savings.
Because we network local business together, we can offer prices of less than 4 cents per coupon mailed! This is so inexpensive, that many advertisers prefer to combine 2 ad spaces to display a larger 3.35 x 10 inch ad.
