How Mobile Coupons Apps Can Help Coupon Ninjas

The use of coupons continues to grow, as the price for food and groceries increase, and the economy continues to slow. We're looking for any way to save on our monthly budget, and some people have turned to hard-core couponing and have become Coupon Ninjas.

Coupon ninjas will rarely buy anything without a coupon in their hand. Take the case of an Atlanta shopper whose coupons were refused at a major grocery store chain. With a family of 10, she, like most Coupon Ninjas, never buys anything unless she has a matching coupon. The supermarket would not accept her coupons, not because of the number of coupons she had, but because of how she was doing it. The supermarket exercised its right to refuse any coupon and/or limit the amount that shoppers redeem.

Our Atlanta shopper turned coupon ninja could have avoided this if she had used the WOWPONS mobile coupon apps. WOWPONS are connected to most major grocery store chains and their rewards cards, and are another tool in the Coupon Ninja's arsenal. Instead of giving the cashier a stack of coupons from the different coupon sources, shoppers just hand the cashier the store rewards card. Supermarkets are not likely to refuse any discounts issued from their own rewards card

WOWPONS helps shoppers stay organized and save time on couponing. Shoppers can take a picture of an item’s barcode with their smartphone’s camera, and the WOWPONS app will locate any coupons offered by the store and the manufacturer. If the app cannot find a matching coupon, it will find a similar product's coupon instead. For the budget-smart consumer, this means never having to buy anything without a coupon.

The coupon is then uploaded to the coupon ninja's rewards card. When they scan their card at the cash register, all available coupons are redeemed and applied to the total grocery bill. WOWPONS can even trigger double and triple coupons for stores that offer them.

WOWPONS help Coupon Ninjas save money while they're on the go, without an overly-complex couponing campaign. They can find savings from the closest stores to them by using the apps’ geolocation technology. Shoppers will benefit from having all the different stores' coupons in one location — on their smartphone.

Extreme couponing strategies have become so popular, there are blogs, websites, and even entire TV shows dedicated to the art. It is no wonder that Coupon Ninjas are popping up all over the country, ready for the next big savings adventure. WOWPONS can help these savvy shoppers avoid running afoul of the store's policy, and help them create a simple and organized couponing strategy.
