Economists predict higher food prices this year*, and Valpak Direct Marketing Systems, Inc., a leader in local print and digital coupons, is giving consumers the chance to win $5,000 toward the purchase of groceries with its Great Grocery Giveaway sweepstakes this March.

"Most savers are familiar with the monthly Blue Envelope® filled with offers but they may not know Valpak.com is another option to help save money at the grocery store as well," said Deanna Willsey, director of corporate communications at Valpak. "Groceries are one of the most popular requests from consumers, so in addition to local coupons and savings on restaurants, beauty, dining, automobile, home and medical services, there are also great grocery coupons on Valpak.com that can help families stretch their budget whether they are dining out or making dinner at home."  

The sweepstakes will run on Valpak.com through April 6, 2012. Valpak envelopes promoting the Great Grocery Giveaway arrive in homes between Feb. 24 and March 26.
