September is National Coupon Month and to celebrate Flash is giving away literally hundreds of coupons for free for those willing to have a bit of fun. You can see all the games going on at <a href="http://www.grocerycouponguide.com">Grocery Coupon Guide</a>. This thread is for answers to her "Grocery Coupon Questions"

NEW QUESTIONS:


The average grocery store has how many different products?


What 2 colors do manufactures general use on packaging and why?


What use do expired coupons have?


If you save $180 a month using coupons and earned $200 a month in interest in your bank account, which would be more valuable to you and why?



PREVIOUS QUESTIONS - the winner is KASHI!
Answer these two questions correctly:

<li> What was the value of coupon savings offered by manufacturers to consumers in 2003?

<li> Who is credited with distributing the first grocery coupon?

<u>PRIZE</u>: Whoever answers both questions correctly first wins 50 coupons and a choice of <b>two free product coupons</b> from FLASH’S HAVE LIST.

Once a winner has been announced, look forward to another contest!

and

# The average grocery store has how many different products?\

The average grocery store holds about 40,000 items.

# What 2 colors do manufactures general use on packaging and why?

reds and yellows these bright colors attract the eye.

# What use do expired coupons have?

the military stretch their grocery budget by sending them your expired coupons

# If you save $180 a month using coupons and earned $200 a month in interest in your bank account, which would be more valuable to you and why?

the 180 why because thats all the less your spending out of pocket,more into savings

The number of items in grocery stores is 45,000
--------------
The most popular packaging colors are

YELLOW: attention getter,appetite stimulant and it makes you happy.

RED:gets you excited,increase your heart rate and stimulates your appetite.
----------
Expired coupons can be used by military pesonnel at commisaries.
-----
The $180 dollars would be greater because I could add it to my savings to earn more interest.
