SNACKS DOMINATE TOP COUPON CATEGORIES IN JUNE ACCORDING TO COUPONS.COM

Savings Printed in June Increases 130 Percent

Mountain View, Calif. - July 20, 2009 – Snacks dominated the Top 10 list of the most popular online coupon categories printed in June, according to Coupons.com, the leading network for digital coupons. Sweet Snacks, Cookies, and Salty Snacks took the No. 4, 5, and 8 spots, respectively.

"As Americans seek out cost effective ways to entertain at home, especially during the summer months when kids are out of school, snacks are a popular food choice," said Kim Danger, family savings expert for Coupons.com. "To stretch your dollar, follow store specials and match coupons to get the most out of your budget. Another savings tip: shop without the kids whenever possible. You can probably shop faster and will be sure to avoid the, 'Mom, can I have this, pretty please?' temptation that leads to unnecessary spending."

Yogurt advanced into the Top 10, taking the No. 1 spot, while Ready-to-Eat Cereal took the No. 2 position. Powdered Beverage Mix advanced four places to the No. 3 position, and Coffee moved up to No. 6. Cheese declined from No. 4 to the No. 7 position, and Dessert Items took the No. 9 position. Condiments rounded out the Top 10. The ranking is based on the number of coupon prints by category on Coupons.com and sites across the Coupons.com publisher network in June 2009.



Digital Coupons Continue Astounding Growth
