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.
