Want to Save Money and Go Green?

Today it seems like everyone is interested in saving money anywhere they can. Saving money on every day items at your grocery store is a great way to start. Using your mobile phone to carry the coupons is the perfect way to "go green" and save many resources.

Lately there has been a lot of buzz online and on television about how much money people are saving by using coupons.The trouble is, there are so many sites online that offer coupons that it can get a little confusing. On the bright side, the best sites are very user friendly. All you have to do is enter your email address and create an account. Then you can select how often you want an email delivered with the newest coupons in your zip code or city. Here are 4 coupon websites  worth bookmarking:

Cellfire.com Cellfire can be used two ways: by adding coupons to your local grocery store savings cards or by using your cell phone. You can add coupons to your local grocery store savings card by inputting your grocery store(s) savings card(s) information, and then clicking to add the coupons you want to use to your card. The coupons are then automatically added to your grocery store savings card and your extra savings will show up when you check out. If you want to use Cellfire on your cellphone, simply download their application to your phone, browse the available coupons, select the coupon you would like to use, and show whatever comes up on your phone's screen to the cashier. (The cashier will then key-in the code)

The world of virtual coupons is constantly changing and making progress. New companies are adding coupons every day. Cell phone coupons (or mobile coupons) are expected to become increasingly popular in the very near future. Many companies are conducting trials of scanner-based coupons that can be scanned directly from your phone's screen. Target is one of few retailers that currently has scanner-based mobile coupon offers you can redeem directly from your phone's screen. USAToday.com says, "Shoppers interested in Target's program must 'opt in' by registering at the company's online or mobile websites, or by texting the word "COUPONS" to 827438... Once registered, shoppers receive a text message on their phones with a link to a mobile Web page with various offers, which can all be accessed through a single bar code. Target says the program works with any phone that has a browser and data plan."

The word is going digital! Get prepared to start seeing important information on a 4 x 6 screen as the "mobi" world becomes part of everyday life.

Have some fun with this concept, share with your customers and save resources and go green!
