September is National coupon month.

Here are some fun coupon facts: 


- The first coupon ever issued was by Coca-Cola, in 1887, for a free glass of their refreshing beverage. 
- In the first six months of 2011, consumers saved more than $2 billion using coupons. (That's all of us collectively, not each...in case you're feeling like you missed out!) 
- Over 1.75 billion coupons were redeemed in the first half of 2011--a moderate 2.9% increase during the same time-frame over last year. 
- The average face value of a coupon in the first six months of 2011 was $1.57--an increase of eight cents over 2010. 
- 96% of consumers said they would still use coupons even if they won the lottery!
