The popularity of social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, have led users to stop looking for coupon bargains in the newspapers, but online. In fact, people have been creating their own virtual community of bargain hunters.

Kelly Wallace, citing shopping experts, said social networking is guaranteed to save at least 15 to 20% on your shopping bill — and even as much as 30% if you’re really looking for bargains.

In these tough economic times, more and more people are using their computers to save money from all different kinds of discount/deals/offers. Last year, massive online marketing campaigns in Twitter with online deals had caused 1430% increase of Twitter users within a month. A great deal may just be a click away.

“Dell sold millions of dollars of computers using Twitter and social media, so it’s for all types of products.” The use of online coupons has jumped an astounding 172% between this year and last, according to Tiffany Ivanovsky, one of the “deals pro” who will offer tips and tricks on how to save for free in the social community portal.
