  SUNNYVALE, CA, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
The ongoing penny-pinching economic crunch is demanding consumers to
bring about a radical change in their shopping behaviors. In order to
overcome these tough times, shoppers from all income levels are turning
to online coupon sites such as CouponAlbum as a safe and easy way to save
up to 70% on a broad range of goods.

    Coupon codes or promotion codes distributed online are amongst tried and
trusted strategies to enhance the virtue of online shopping. These tools
help in performing the dual task of bringing discounted shopping to
consumers and by promoting online retailers amongst their targeted
audience. Consumers can save money on a wide range of products by
stacking manufacturers' and store coupons on top of already discounted
merchandise.

    The recent media exposure for coupons has increased consumers' confidence
in coupon sites. comScore.com reports that there were more than 19.9
million searches for the word "coupon" in December 2008, as against a
comparatively small figure of 7.63 million in December 2007. This clearly
shows an encouraging jump of 161%. In yet another report dated 06/18,
released by Burst Media, parents are already looking for "Back to School
coupons." The study shows that more than 48% of them will be spending
over $250 per child despite the economic issues. With the bulk of
shopping being done in July and August, the search volume for coupons is
just going to increase further. Shoppers by and large have now started
realizing the benefits of these money saving coupons. Thrift and sensible
shopping habits can make consumers money go further and help them maintain
a better quality family life.

    CouponAlbum.com continues to be one of the top online consumer savings
destinations for coupons, discounts and promotion codes. The site
encourages shoppers to always make use of coupons to stretch their buying
power, save more money from their budget and spend what they can afford.
