Online coupons’ popularity is growing in times of affordable internet access and economic distress

As more and more families strive to use online coupons to stretch household budgets, inspired by increasing number of online social  communities, coupon clubs and TV shows that show how those smart “couponers” are saving hundreds of dollars on daily bills, businesses too, tend to jump on the bandwagon very quickly.  Wishing to bring more customers through their doors, they begin to actively promote their coupon deals online to attract coupon hunters as potential repeat buyers.

Extreme couponing – How do they do it?

For some people couponing, both online and offline (weekly circulars and newspaper coupons), becomes a part time job with a goal of finding means to pay for food, utility bills and other life essentials. For others it’s a kind of sport which involves savvy shopping skills with the attempt to save as much money as possible  groceries, clothing, gas and so on. These adepts of  “extreme couponing” were first mentioned by The Wall Street Journal last year in an article entitled “Hard Times Turn Coupon Clipping Into the Newest Extreme Sport”. A bit later several TV shows by ABC and TLC followed with their saving competitions like “Extreme Couponing : How Far Can $50 Go?” (ABC), or even weekly contests (TLC).
