More websites with local coupons



It's exciting to see more and more websites focusing specifically on Columbia and the surrounding areas. There has been an explosion of local coupons lately, even for establishments that don't normally offer them. The poor economic situation is certainly the greatest driving force of this increase but I think that the efficiency and sophistication of coupon dissemination also plays a part in the establishments' willingness to offer them. The new websites are to thank for the latter. They have given local businesses the needed platforms to reach this generation of savvy e-coupon clippers.

I've talked about the restuarant website MidMODiningGuide.com (see previous post) and the discount website DownloadADeal.com (see previous post). I have hesitated to bring up the next two website because they are heavily advertised on TV. However, in case you have not heard of them, I don't want you to miss out. So, here they are:

* For the purposes of this blog, I am only concerned with the deals and discounts offered by these websites. *

As its name denotes, it offers info on Columbia and the rest of Mid-Missouri. It offers coupons to various establishments. There are many categories listed under coupons so it seems that the website intends to add more deals in the future. However, right now, all the available coupons are for food and dining. Here are some highlights:
Bennigan's -- $5 off $25
The Pasta Factory -- $5 off when you purchase 2 entrees, one per family
The Rome -- buy 1 calzone, get 1 free

This Columbia-centered website also has a coupons section. Currently, there are only a few coupons. When they add more coupons, you already know where to find them.  Example:
Country Kitchen -- buy 1 omelet, get 1 free
