Best-Kept Secret: How To Save A Boodle On Groceries

Five reasons to click and print online coupons.

SAN DIEGO (March 8, 2006) — While the majority of Americans clip coupons, only a small percentage of consumers realize you can print a coupon from the Internet. The leading online grocery coupon marketplace boodle™ says consumers should not overlook the power of the Internet to save on their grocery bill as they can shave at least $500 a year off of their annual grocery expenses by printing and using online coupons.

"Online coupons are still a best-kept secret among savvy shoppers and bargain hunters," according to Les Howe, president and CEO of Consumer Networks, the company behind boodle. "The truth is that most major manufacturers now offer online coupons for products that consumers use everyday."

Howe adds that online grocery coupons are now widely accepted and are more prevalent than ever before with most newspapers featuring them on their Web counterparts. boodle works with 360 newspaper Web sites nationwide to feature valuable coupons for top consumer brands that are similar to those found in Sunday newspapers. It currently features 64 coupons worth a total of $63. Consumers can access the coupons free by registering with any newspapers at www.boodle.com.
