Patch Launches 'Grocery Specials' Section
Print coupons, find grocery specials and email lists to yourself and friends using Patch's new "Grocery Specials" section.

This section uses a third-party (Grocery Server) to deliver local grocery data.
Reader benefits:
- Find grocery specials in local grocery stores like Stop & Shop
- Add specials and coupons to a list, with a total price of groceries calculated
- Print coupons
- Print a list of specials
- Email a list of specials to yourself or another peson
How to Access Grocery Specials from Reading-North Reading Patch:
- On the homepage navigation bar, click on "More Stuff," then select "Grocery Specials" from the drop-down menu; or
- Click on the “Start Saving” button on the “Grocery Specials” unit located on the bottom right of the homepage.

This is a very weird feature. WHenever you click anywhere in the box it just takes you to a page teling you how to 'advertise on patch'. not to mention that the stores it's advertising don't even exist within 50 miles of Reading/NR. Big Y supermarket? What? nearest one is in Worcester. So weird.

I just clicked on the link and got a page where I could scroll down through more stores than just Big Y (e.g., nearby stores like CVS, Target, Stop and Shop, for example). It did take a moment for that page to load. Market Basket is on the list but grayed out - perhaps they did not want to pay to be listed on this service, preferring instead to pass the savings directly on to customers.
