Discounts, bargains & Free Coupons are making big waves in retail industry whether online or offline. Giant retailers like Walmart, Office Depot, Buy.com, Amazon.com etc.. are giving away discount coupons to their online/offline shoppers. Most shoppers use coupons for the cost saving benefit. According to a survey we conducted at http://www.pccounter.net/ :

I was reading one of the articles on online coupons and discounts and found out that their are discount sites offering rebates on space trips as well. Americans are saving nearly $3 billion annually on grocery, healthcare, household & Technology Product items by using discount coupon.

The Promotion Marketing Association (PMA) Coupon Council reports that coupon shoppers represent 70 percent of the overall U.S. population. Even coupons are now being offered as teaching aides in the home and in the classroom to teach and strengthen fundamental reading, math, memory, organizational and personal finance skills.

Month of September is start of National Coupon Month, sponsored by Coupon Council of PMA, the trade association representing the promotion and integrated marketing industry. Theme of this year is Teaching Children through coupon use. Its an excellent way to teach childrens about the value of money.
