Milwaukee number one in coupon use
Frugal Milwaukee maintains that reputation by ranking first in coupon use in the U.S., according to a new survey from Scarborough Research.
About 45% of households in the ten-county area clip or download coupons for groceries; 20% use them for non-grocery purchases. Nationally, 32% use grocery coupons every week; 13% use non-grocery coupons at least once a week.
Philadelphia ranks second in grocery coupon use, with 41% of households redeeming them at least once a week; Rochester is third with 40%, followed by Hartford/New Haven in Connecticut and the Harrisburg/Lancaster/Lebanon/York area in Pennsylvania.
Nationally and locally, coupon use has risen during this recession.
