Using Coupons and Networking to Get the Most out of a Dollar
In these tough financial times, families struggle to put food on the table. Many are facing this crisis together by sharing with others what they learn along the way. This has created a phenomenon of coupon blogs and internet sites all devoted to teaching others how to save money.
Major Coupon Networks and Companies
Most people are familiar with the coupon inserts found in the Sunday newspaper. The three main companies that provide these coupons are Smart Source, Red Plum and Proctor & Gamble. All three companies also provide coupons online. Providing printable coupons on the internet makes collecting and sharing coupons with others very simple.
Six years ago, two women, Julie Parrish and Heidi Kennedy, met on an internet chat group that discussed ways to save money on groceries. When that site closed, they joined another group and became group moderators. That site eventually sold. Julie and Heidi were ready create a coupon website of their own. These two women have never met in person. They communicate by means of the telephone and the internet.
