How Mobile Coupons Can Pay for Your Smartphone Data Plan

Mobile coupons may actually help offset your smartphone's data plan, which may save you as much as $50 - $70 a month on your cell phone bill. Here's how:

There was a recent study that showed a family that spent 20 minutes each week clipping and using regular paper grocery coupons and mobile coupons could easily save as much as 20 percent on their monthly grocery bill. That adds up to a savings of $1000 per year — that's based on an average American family spending $5,000 each year for groceries. And $1,000 divided among 12 months is $83 per month, which is more than the cost of most data plans.

A low-cost data plan for a smartphone runs around $30 per month, or $360 per year. Given the $1000 per year savings available on your grocery bill with mobile coupons, the $360 data plan would take slightly more than a third of your savings. By upgrading to a smartphone with a data package and then downloading WOWPONS, that would leave $640 per year, just by using mobile coupons.

Of course, you will need a smartphone to use the WOWPONS app at all, which brings us back to the data plan. Or you could skip the app, and just print coupons directly from the WOWPONS site.

Seventy-five percent of shoppers said they used grocery and entertainment coupons last year, according to another survey. WOWPONS knows that shoppers want significant savings on their annual household budget. And now that more retailers and manufacturers are using WOWPONS more often to reach their customers, some regular cell phone users feel like they're being forgotten on the savings front. Are you a non-smartphone user that thinks the cost of a smartphone data plan is just too expensive?

With mobile coupons on the rise, the savings are becoming more convenient and more targeted for consumers. WOWPONS saves you money on items you already buy. Just scan the barcode on your item with your smartphone's camera. WOWPONS looks for any available retailer or manufacturer mobile coupons for that item. WOWPONS uploads those mobile coupons right your shopper’s store loyalty card. Just give your card to the cashier and your savings will be applied.

Simply by using Wowpons to locate both manufacturer and retailer mobile coupons can take the guess work out of finding hundreds of dollars to put back in your pockets. That money can then be used to get yourself that smartphone with a data package you have been wanting!
