You can print coupons and find grocery specials using Patch's new "Grocery Specials" section.

In September we announced the launch of our new Tucker "Grocery Specials" section. Have you had the chance to check it out? It's pretty handy for finding local deals. It allows you to browse local grocery coupons and weekly specials. Similar to the weekly circulars found in print newspapers by each local retailer, the Grocery Specials section has hundreds of retailers’ specials in one place.

What do you think of Patch's cool new feature?
