Mobile Grocery Coupons Give Instant Benefits

Mobile grocery coupons saw an increase in use in 2010, with 75% of shoppers using them. Grocery store owners and manufacturers are taking this as confirmation that shoppers want to save money any way they can.

It's worth it too: a recent study found that a family that spends 20 minutes a week clipping and using grocery store coupons could save as much as 20 percent on their grocery bill. That's $1,000 per year, given that the average family spends $5,000 per year on groceries. And with mobile grocery coupons on the rise, the savings are becoming more convenient and more targeted for consumers who want to see easier savings.

Have you ever been standing in line at the grocery store, when you realize you left that one particular coupon on the counter at home? Should you just not buy the item this week, or race back home to get it, spending extra money on gas and time just to get $1 off toothpaste? Or do you spend the extra dollar? In nearly every case, it's always more cost effective to stay there, but it still could have been avoided.

That's what mobile grocery coupons can do for you. Using a program like Wowpons on your smartphone, you'll never forget your mobile grocery coupons or leave them at home. As long as you've got your smartphone, you've got your grocery coupons.

Mobile grocery coupons save you time. You don't have to spend Sundays flipping through the newspaper inserts, clipping out the coupons you find, and then mapping out your route and schedule to use the right coupons in the right grocery stores. By using a mobile app like Wowpons, you can tie your coupons in to a particular store's loyalty program. When you visit the store and check in with your loyalty program card — which is also stored in the Wowpons app — all coupons will automatically load and redeem themselves. And since some loyalty programs offer their shoppers additional opportunities for savings with accrued points, like discounted gasoline, this can save you more money.

The economy has lead to evolving technology advances that provide consumers with opportunities for instant savings with mobile grocery coupons. You not only save money with mobile grocery coupons, but time used to spend clipping paper coupons.
