Saving Money Spans Generations

Yes, I didn’t know that there was a National Coupon Month either but there is. I read a press release this morning from CoolSavings.com about a survey of coupon use by age. The most consistent user of coupons is the 55+ age group. 20-percent-off.gif65% of the AARP crowd use coupons on every shopping trip. But the coupon use isn’t exclusive to the 55+ crowd. 51% of 35-34 year olds report using coupons on every trip. The most thrifty age group, however, is the 35-44 year old group who use coupons 61% of the time and 35% of those shoppers save $10-$20 per trip. This group, more than any other, relies on the newspaper for their main source of coupons while the others rely on a combination.

Not really book related, but I thought it was interesting.

Couponalooza: Borders Has Mysteries and Romances, Buy 3 get 1 Free

CONTEST, CONTEST, CONTEST
Borders Coupon
Through April 2nd, Borders and Waldenbooks are featuring a buy 3, get 1 free for SELECTED romances and mysteries and 30% off one book if you spend $10.00 or more (coupon good from 3/8 - 3/11). This is obviously intended to get you in the store and buy more books than you need but I’m easily lured by the words “Free” and “30% off” so I’m off to the bookstore. The Buy 3 Get 1 Free sales used to be limited to Waldenbooks and it’s nice to see Borders adopt these specials too, but I would guess they would have to given all the Waldenbooks closings all over the country.
