City for the second year in a row (Photo: Business Wire)
For the second year in a row, the Nation’s Capital has earned
the top position on the annual ranking of America’s Most Frugal
Cities, according to the Coupons.com Savings Index1. The seventh
annual ranking was released today by Quotient Technology Inc.
(NYSE: QUOT), which runs the popular app and website,
Coupons.com.
Maybe the political landscape sent people seeking solace in
savings. Or perhaps the Capital saw an influx of savvy shoppers
with the change of administrations. Whatever the reason, shoppers
in the D.C. area selected more than 27 million digital coupons in
2017, totaling more than $39 million in savings – a 25% increase
over 2016. All told, Quotient delivered more than 3.5 billion
digital coupons in 2017, the equivalent of 6,747 every minute.
The Top 10 Most Frugal Cities are:
1. Washington, D.C.: 2nd year-in-a-row winner
2. Dallas-Ft. Worth: climbed from No. 5 to No. 2
3. Raleigh-Durham: edged up from No. 4 to No. 3
4. Charlotte: fell from No. 3 to No. 4
5. Orlando: slipped from No. 2 to No. 5
6. Philadelphia: jumped from No. 11 to No. 6
7. Tampa-St. Petersburg: dropped from No. 6 to No. 7
8. Atlanta: jumped from No. 10 to No. 8
9. Nashville: fell from No. 7 to No. 9
10. Cleveland-Akron: fell from No. 8 to No. 10
As you can see, plenty of shoppers across the country were smart
about saving money in 2017, even as their cities moved around in
the ranking. In 2017, one city, Virginia Beach, VA, fell off the
top 10 list completely, slipping from No. 9 in 2016 to No. 13 in
2017.
“America’s Most Frugal Cities list shines a light on cities
where the shoppers make sure to stretch their budgets,” said
Jeanette Pavini, savings expert for Coupons.com. “Using coupons in
the digital age is so easy there’s no reason not to take advantage
of them. With little effort, people are saving hundreds of dollars
every year.”
This year’s other top 25 frugal cities include: Boston, MA
(#11); Miami/Fort Lauderdale, FL (#12); Virginia Beach, VA (#13);
San Francisco, CA (#14); New York, NY (#15); Phoenix, AZ (#16);
