Handy Carton Takes the Juggle/Struggle Out of Coupon Use: Holder Hangs on Shopping Cart Handle

    MINNEAPOLIS, MN, February 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Coupons Ala Cart, is a boon to discount coupon users--a community growing at rocket-speed due to the current economy. This sturdy cardboard organizer holds dozens of efficiently categorized coupons and hangs on the handle of the shopping cart. Just think! No more fumbling with over-flowing envelopes, pocket files or unwieldy notebooks or getting impatient looks from other shoppers behind you in the check-out line.

One of the most frustrating times for coupon clippers is to find a great marked-down product for which your savings coupons are at home on the kitchen counter. With the Coupons Ala Cart carton you can carry all coupons that "might ever" be used--not just those for this weeks' shopping trip.

The cover of the carton rolls back over the cart handle and attachs underneath the box with Velcro to secure it. When not in use, the cover fastens shut for a nice compact carrier that can be kept on hand, coupons undisturbed, ready for impromptu shopping.

In addition to loads of coupons, the box can accomodate a pen, calculator, even a small magnifier to check expiration dates. Coupon use has never been easier.

Now, in a time when we can save money, not only on groceries and household supplies, we can present coupons at restaurants, beauty salons, department and discount stores, auto services, eye glasses, electronics, craft and party stores, health services and much more. How convenient it will be to have those coupons on-hand for planned or impromptu use.

Coupons Ala Cart was innovated by Patty Sachs in 1976 and marketed locally but due to the high cost of print advertising, the project was dropped , but not forgotten. Recently, the massive popularity of coupon use has inspired, Sachs, a 70 year-old retiree, to manufacture and market the still-viable design on the Internet, at a fraction of old print ad costs. "Back in the day, I was the Twin Cities Coupon Queen organizing meetings, refunding clubs and even opening a store-front exchange center," says Sachs. She concludes, "After 33 years my timing is much better today--patience wins out."

The colorful Coupons Ala Cart carton which measures 8 1/2" X 6 1/2" X 3" is being sold on-line at http://www.partyplansplus.com/coupons.html for $6.99 plus shipping.
