Piggly Wiggly to offer paperless coupons

COLUMBIA, SC - Coupon shoppers won&#39;t have to keep up with teh small slips of paper to get discounts at Piggly Wiggly stores in Georgia and Alabama. <br> <br> The grocery store chain says it will introduce a virtually paperless coupon system starting in September in more than 100 stores in the two states. <br> <br> The Let&#39;s Go Shopping system will allow shoppers to use a booklet to get their discounts instead of clipping coupons from the paper. <br> <br> Shoppers will pick up the booklets at the store or get them in the mail. The books have lists of products and discounts, each imprinted with a bar code. The cashier scans the code to give the discount. <br> <br> The books expire each month, but the coupons can be used more than once. Officials won&#39;t reveal specific companies, but say the books will have coupons for name brand products from cereals to household cleaners. <br> <br>
