Consumers are using the Internet and social media to hunt down recipes, shop for food, and connect with their favorite food brands. That is one obvious linkage to delivery of information and inducements to buy specific brands and products used by various recipes.

The foods these app couponing families consume more often skew towards kid friendly staples like eggs, cold cereal, bacon, sausages, macaroni and cheese, soup, and fruit juice.
