Processed foods, Florida coupons and cell phones


With so many processed foods on the shelf now, it’s hard to keep track of what ingredients are in what products. For example, both soy sauce and red licorice often contain wheat.

That’s can be a real problem for someone like Kathleen Reale. She has celiac disease and can’t eat anything with gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains.

“It’s very confusing. I mean when I first found out that I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I walked around the supermarket kind of in a fog, saying I can’t eat this, I can’t eat that,” admitted Reale.

So she created www.befreeforme.com.

Its goal is to not only educate consumers about which foods they can safely eat but to also save them money.

In the last decade, retailers and manufacturers pushed to put their coupons online, figuring people would love browsing on PCs for deals. They didn’t for a long list of reasons, including the fact that it was not easier than leafing through the paper and tearing out what you need.

Now the cellphone industry is trying its own approach. The theory is that you will browse for deals when you are at the store, or maybe receive deal alerts when you are nearby, and simply use the phone as a virtual coupon when you are at the cashier.

The idea has lots of promise. Whether it’s worth your while depends on where you live, how much you use the products featured by these coupon services and how much work you’re willing to do for a bargain.

A new dynamic website helps consumers fight the recession. www.MoneySaverCouponsOnline.com, a South Florida local coupon website, was created for consumers to save money and for businesses to promote their products and services. With well over a 1,000 coupons, consumers can find great bargains and discounts at local Florida businesses online. Once a coupon is found online, it’s as easy and simple as printing it to get the discounts.

The online coupon directory works in conjunction with their traditional direct mail coupon books that reach nearly 1 million consumers. MoneySaver is distributed monthly to over 800,000 residences in Broward and Palm Beach Counties in South Florida and has recently expanded to New Jersey.

From the website, consumers are encouraged to sign up for Club Moneysaver, a free email service with periodic special coupons and email offers. The coupon website is designed to search for local coupons by zip code or type of business.
