Shopping with grocery coupons is a growing phenomenon with shoppers. New TV shows show shoppers who use grocery coupons fanatically, and new blogs and Internet sites are constantly popping up to share couponing tips with shoppers who want to save where they can. A recent survey said that more than 75% of shoppers used coupons regularly in 2010.
It's worth the time and effort too. One study we found said that a family that spends only 20 minutes a week using grocery coupons can easily save 20 percent on their annual grocery bill. When the average American family spends $5,000 on groceries per year, that can be $1,000 in savings. So, where are all of these free grocery coupons? You can find them in your mailbox, websites, and via the WOWPONS mobile app.
Many free coupons show up in everyone's mailbox every week via coupon mailers and weekly shopper magazines and newspapers. Sometimes called circulars, these newspapers and magazines usually just show up without the recipient ever signing up for them. Free coupons just show up without any rhyme or reason.
The Sunday paper is probably the most easiest place to find grocery coupons. Many people subscribe to the Sunday paper rather than the daily, because they're primarily interested in the coupons — or they like the funnies (personally, we like both). In the Sunday paper, consumers can find free coupons from many different manufacturers for all kinds of products. And most major grocery stores put their own free grocery coupons on Sunday too.
One of the fastest growing free grocery coupons trends is getting mobile coupons with WOWPONS. Smartphone owners can download WOWPONS right to their smartphone. With their phone’s camera, people can scan the barcode on products. WOWPONS will locate any available coupons for that item from the manufacturer or from the retailer.
WOWPONS loads the coupons right to the store's rewards card. The shopper just hands their rewards card to the cashier, and the savings will be applied right to the total on the cash register. WOWPONS even has savings available to people who do not carry a smartphone on the WOWPONS website. Just register on the website, and we will have grocery coupons that can be printed straight from the site.
Consumers are looking to save anywhere that they can. Finding free grocery coupons is becoming a crucial part to American families’ savings strategy. With the ability to save hundreds of dollars by using coupons, it is no wonder that consumers are adopting WOWPONS to locate savings on regularly-purchased products.

Pros and Cons of Mobile Coupons
New mobile coupons become more easily found and accessible each day, and more shoppers make them a part of their regular shopping strategy. WOWPONS continues to expand the technology of mobile coupons, making it easier for consumers to use these coupons. When considering the pros and cons of using these types of coupons, you're hard pressed to find many disadvantages.
The fact that a many people have a smartphone with them at all times creates an easy fit for stores that want to connect to target demographics and specific audiences on a regular basis. More manufacturers and retailers are joining the WOWPONS cause, giving shoppers more savings options. Manufacturers and grocery stores continue to try to beat each other’s mobile coupons.
If most consumers use a smartphone, and if these shoppers are downloading savings with them, they are more likely to have those coupons available. WOWPONS beats trying to remember to bring the coupons from the house.
WOWPONS tie into shoppers’ rewards cards at major supermarkets. Consumers scan their items and with their phone's camera, and the app will find any available coupons. The found coupons are then downloaded to the rewards card, ready to use when they check out. They just hand over the rewards card, who scans it at the cash register. That’s just smart shopping!
Also, there is no more flipping through a pile of clipped coupons at the cash register to find that the coupon has expired. WOWPONS tells users when their mobile coupons are about ready to expire, and it will tell them where the nearest store is nearest to use the coupon. If a coupon expires before you redeem it, WOWPONS will suggest a similar item that has a coupon.
There are very few disadvantages about mobile coupons. You might leave your smartphone at home, but you're more likely to forget a big handful of coupons at home. Even if you left your mobile device at home, you can use any mobile coupons already loaded onto your rewards card.
Several specialty supermarkets and local grocery stores do not accept mobile coupons yet, which could be a disadvantage. Stores like this often offer unique and specialized products that rarely come with a coupon of any sort. Shopping local positively impacts the economy and environment, but so does WOWPONS. We save money and paper.
The cons of this growing mobile coupons trend are few and far between. WOWPONS introduce a way to save for the many shoppers who already carry their cell phone at all times.

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.

WOWPONS Printable Coupons Provide Additional Savings
Consumers using printable coupons from WOWPONS have found easier ways to save on frequently purchased items. Rather than waiting for the Sunday paper to arrive, these smart shoppers find a new way to save money on their time, not the newspaper publishers.
Mobile grocery coupon apps are an increasing trend, thanks to advancements in cell phone technology and their constant use. However, many mobile phone users haven't switched to smartphones, which all mobile apps need. So retailers and manufacturers have started offering their coupons in electronic form. But WOWPONS hasn’t forgotten people who do not have a smartphone, or even a basic cell phone. So we started offering printable coupons as way for people to find additional savings without spending extra money.
And some people would rather just a tangible paper coupon when they go shopping. WOWPONS thinks it's important to include these shoppers so we make many of our coupons available for printing off of our websites.
While most of these coupons are geared toward the most widely-used grocery products, many of these printable coupons are available for savings on entertainment, books, office supplies, and even restaurants. So finding savings on other items in your household budget is a clever way to save.
Our printable coupons are simple to use and are targeted to your specific location. Just enter your zip code, and WOWPONS will find any coupons usable near you. There's no need to drive 30 minutes out of your way just to save on a night out. We provide geo-targeted coupons at popular restaurants and pizza joints.
Even entertainment specials from cable and satellite providers sometimes have printable coupons available. Sometimes it just takes a few clicks of a mouse to find a few coupons that create an affordable night of entertainment. Combine it with a pizza delivery, grocery coupons for sodas and snacks, and get a movie with your satellite package, and you've got something for the whole family.
Another place printable coupon users find additional savings is in giving gifts. Many personal finance experts say gifts and donations are items most frequently forgotten when they plan home budgets. Printable coupons give you savings on gifts like flower bouquets. People who like giving personalized photo items like mugs and picture frames can find coupons for their next gift purchase.
Consumers who buy the Sunday paper only to clip coupons can save by using printable coupons. With WOWPONS’ printable coupons, you can search, sort and print with just a click of a mouse.

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!

Mobile Coupons App Contributes to Green Shopping
Green shopping is becoming a lot easier for concerned shoppers with WOWPONS. Our mobile coupons app allows consumers to shop and save — paperless!— as well as help preserve the environment.
Instead of clipping regular paper coupons out of the newspaper or the coupons mailer, green shoppers can download the Wowpons to their smartphone and then connect it to their favorite grocery store's loyalty card. It's way to go green digitally. And once you’re done reading the newspaper, you can just recycle it. Green shopping and recycling, all at once.
WOWPONS also makes it easy for you to build your digital shopping list. You can stay organized and stick to your shopping budget by buying only the things you need. Using a list is one of the best ways you can save money.
Here's another tiny paper tip: By using the WOWPONS’ shopping list, you can even eliminate paper grocery shopping lists. Not only do paper lists use paper for such a short time, they're not recycled a lot of the time. While they don't take up much space, think of how much paper you would save in a year's worth of shopping lists.
And have you ever forgotten your shopping list and tried to remember everything on it, only to find you forgot something, all to end up making a return trip to the store (which used more gas), or bought things you didn't need (which spent more money)? If you're trying to reduce waste and your carbon footprint, WOWPONS helps you make a positive impact for green shopping.
WOWPONS' green shopping means less driving from store to store, trying to find the best deals. The majority of our mobile coupons work at major grocery retailers, because they're becoming more mobile coupon friendly. We help people with green shopping by finding deals closest to their home or work. Shoppers put in their address and a desired radius for their coupons, and WOWPONS does the rest.
Once you choose a preferred grocer on WOWPONS, just register the store’s loyalty card to your account, and load the coupons directly to your card. By doing this, you contribute to green shopping by side stepping the coupon clipping.
When you've gathered all your groceries, just give the cashier your loyalty card to download all loaded coupons to the register when your card gets scanned. It will pull out any coupons that match up to items in the transaction and apply the savings.
Finally, when you're finished with an item, recycle the packaging whenever possible. While it's not strictly a green shopping tip, it helps the environment by not putting all the paper and plastic into a landfill.
Recycling coupons may not seem worth it for such a small amount of paper, but with the number of shoppers using paper coupons, it can all add up quickly. For anyone looking for green shopping tips to save both money and the environment, WOWPONS has the answer.

Save Your Vacation Budget by Using Mobile Coupons
Mobile coupons can help you save money on your next vacation, which is good because planning a vacation on a budget can be daunting with our shaky economy. As fuel prices, plane fare, and food prices rise, many Americans are left scrambling just to make ends meet, let alone plan a vacation. Budget travel options are becoming more widely available to keep us vacationing.
Once travelers get to their destinations, they are looking for savings. Mobile coupons make destination savings easier than ever. With the advancement of smartphone technologies, new mobile coupon apps offer you savings no matter where they are.
A major portion of vacation expenses is racked up eating out on the town. Getting the local flavor can be the highlight of a trip for many travelers, but it can be awfully expensive. A great way to cut down on that expense is to limit how many meals are eaten out each day.
For example, just avoid eating breakfast out a few times during your vacation. Take the extra time to sleep in — you are on vacation to relax, after all — and eat breakfast in your hotel room or condo. Or eat a nice picnic lunch when you're at the beach or the amusement park — no need to spend $10 on a hot dog and soft drink at the beach, when you can make an entire picnic lunch for that amount.
Hit the local grocery store to stock up on some basic food items, like granola bars, fruit, and sandwich fixings. Check Wowpons to see if there are any grocery coupons for your favorite items, and to see if they're available at any grocery stores in the area. Pick up the stuff you'll need for a picnic for the beach or having a quick breakfast before heading out for a big outing.
Mobile coupons can save travelers not only on their food dollars but also while shopping for souvenirs or collectables. Vacation destinations can be overflowing with enticing shopping opportunities that can quickly thin your wallet. Many retailers have caught onto the mobile coupons trend, realizing that shoppers are more likely to spend money in their store if they offer coupons. Thrifty vacationers can still indulge in a shopping trip, but can better prepared with mobile coupons to make their traveling dollars stretch. Check Wowpons to see if there are any stores that offer any coupons in your area and make a quick trip before you head home again.
A lot of Americans are working hard for that one vacation and need all the help they can get with their travel budget. Taking advantage of some savings strategies like mobile coupons can help vacationers to better enjoy their destination and find some piece of mind while on that hard-earned getaway.

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.

How to Use Mobile Coupons on a Mobile Phone
With mobile coupons becoming easier to use, the need to clip paper coupons from the Sunday paper has been eliminated. Instead, all you need is a smartphone and the new Wowpons mobile coupons app. We'll take care of the rest.
But in addition to Wowpons, here are four other ways to find special offers with your smartphone.
Text clubs: Some retailers and restaurants are inviting customers to join text clubs, where they can receive occasional messages and special offers available only to club members — "Just follow these instructions, and you'll receive a text message. Show it to the retailer to redeem the offer." These clubs are free to join and help customers find the best deals at their favorite restaurants, stores, and bars.
QR Codes: These are the scrambled squares appearing more and more on retail store windows, in magazines, and even on outdoor billboards. Because they are easily scanned with a smartphone, retailers are adapting their mobile coupons to change with the ever-developing technologies. Just scan a QR code posted on doors, menus, or billboards to find out more about the business and to see if there are any mobile coupons available.
Barcodes: If you can read QR codes, you can also read the traditional barcodes. This allows you to find the best deals or read more information about a product. It also allows some stores to send you to their own store's website, where they can offer special coupons to be redeemed later.
Email: Email campaigns are still a part of the mobile coupon trend because retailers treat their consumers’ email addresses like gold — it's a direct line of communication between them and their customers. Retailers can email a coupon with an embedded barcode or QR code directly to you. When you're at the store, just pull up the email on your phone and have the cashier scan the digital coupon.
Location-based Networks: Some geo-location based networks like Foursquare and Yelp offer coupons to users based on where they are at that exact moment. Imagine you're in a new part of town, and you're looking for somewhere to eat. Turn on your mobile phone, check one of these networks, and see what the app recommends via user generated ratings and proximity to your location. You can even find the restaurants that offer mobile coupons. For example, some restaurants offer a 10% discount if you check in and show your phone to their server.
The more consumers use this growing mobile coupon technology, the more retailers will adapt to our ever-changing mobile habits. This allows them to offer us more valuable coupons and special offers, which result in extra savings on items that are of interest to us. The key is making these coupons easily available and accessible in real time.

Mobile Grocery Coupons: Simple, Convenient, Smart

By taking advantage of mobile grocery coupons, shoppers can get the convenience of shopping online with all the savings of printed paper coupons. Plus, it is no longer possible to leave coupons at home again. As long as the shopper has their mobile phone with them, they have their mobile grocery coupons, because the mobile grocery coupons are stored online.
Mobile grocery coupons bring savings for groceries to a smart phone like those usually enjoyed at restaurants, entertainment venues, clothing stores, auto service providers and more. They can be loaded on to the mobile phone
Here are just some of the ways to save time and money with mobile grocery coupons:
Mobile grocery coupons are perfect for budget-conscious people who want a tool to help them save money when they shop. By going paperless and mobile, shoppers can experience the convenience, ease, and extra savings that mobile grocery coupons provide.

Here are just some of the ways to save time and money with mobile grocery coupons:
- It is not necessary to spend countless hours each week going through sales flyers searching for coupons, then clipping them, and putting them into an organizer. Finding and selecting coupons on a mobile phone is fast and easy, as simple as searching and browsing for items online.
- Anyone who has ever come across an item in the grocery store and realized they had forgotten to bring their coupons can now search for and download the coupon while they are in the store. This way, they will never miss a deal.
- It is not necessary to buy a newspaper just for the grocery coupons. Mobile grocery coupons are free, so why spend money just to save money?
- It is not necessary to wait for coupons to arrive in the mail. Anyone who needs to go grocery shopping today, but knows the store's weekly flyer is not supposed to show up until tomorrow can use mobile grocery coupons the very instant they need them.
- It is not necessary to clean out old expired coupons from a filing system either, or be frustrated to hand coupons to the cashier only to discover that they already expired. Mobile grocery coupons disappear after their expiration date, so they do not have to be deleted by hand. Of course, this also means it may be necessary to develop a tracking method to know when the coupons are about to expire, but the savvy shopper is always able to find a way to keep track of these thing.
- Shoppers can also find coupons that meet their lifestyle needs, as well as those of their family. People who are trying to lose weight can search for coupons of diet-friendly foods. Have a preference for only certain brands? No problem. It is easy to search for coupons for them, too.
- Some mobile coupon apps even use the GPS function of a smart phone to search for mobile grocery coupons for the items on a shopper's list (and even a few items that are not on the list, but should be). This can all happen automatically, just by entering the items that are needed on the mobile list, and the app will do all the searching, and even track the amount saved.
- And of course, mobile coupons save fuel, because it eliminates the need to drive around to several different stores to find the best deals on a shopper's favorite products. It is important to find a mobile coupon service that is affiliated with several grocery store chains and their loyalty card programs, and not just an app from a single store. While using a single store app is a good start, a third-party app is better, because it uses the GPS on a mobile phone to find the deals at the closest store — very valuable when the shopper is on the road.
Mobile grocery coupons are perfect for budget-conscious people who want a tool to help them save money when they shop. By going paperless and mobile, shoppers can experience the convenience, ease, and extra savings that mobile grocery coupons provide.
