SAN DIEGO, CA, May 04, 2011

Drop Down Deals LLC, creators of the simple, complete and free downloadable app offering consumers peace of mind that they always receive the best deals while shopping online, has teamed up with the Super-Couponing queen, Jill Cataldo. Hailed as one of the premier coupon experts in the country, Cataldo recognized the simple convenience of the Drop Down Deals app and added it to her savings repertoire for 30 days as she shopped online for $500 worth of goodies to give away to her readers on http://www.jillcataldo.com. The purchases, all made using Drop Down Deals coupons, ranged from Lands' End tote bags and hot dog toasters to Shake 'n Take Smoothie Makers and an Apple 8GB iPod Touch .

"I love the concept that relevant deals pop up on the sites where I'm already shopping," said Cataldo. "What I like most is that I didn't have to search all over the Internet to find the best deals. Drop Down Deals made it faster and easier to save money without having to leave the websites I was already shopping on."

Drop Down Deals is the only coupon source that provides savings right when and where you need them - while shopping online - and eliminates the need to hunt for coupon codes. According to a recent Microsoft Corp. Bing search engine survey of 1,058 adult consumers, 74 percent of consumers search multiple online coupon sources each week, with 63 percent searching up to 10 different coupon sites. Of those surveyed, 25 percent spend up to one hour each week searching for the best online deals. Not only do the survey results show Cataldo could save up to 52 hours in one year by using Drop Down Deals and not having to search for coupons, but her actual savings totaled the equivalent of $900 in one year.

From 30 percent discounts to money off purchases to free shipping, Drop Down Deals is the simplest and most complete solution for finding the best, most relevant and valid coupons available online. Cataldo took the Drop Down Deals savings challenge and was provided a $500 gift card by the company to rack up the savings for 30 days.

After downloading the free Drop Down Deals app, Cataldo was able to search on merchant sites where she regularly shops, such as Sears.com, Skymall.com and Buy.com. The Drop Down Deals app popped up in the right-hand corner of her screen signifying that coupons were available on those sites. She clicked the icon and the deals "dropped down" on her screen so she could select the best option for her purchase and even compare the savings she could get at other retailers. After selecting the coupon she wanted, the promo code was automatically applied to her shopping cart.

The app is easily downloadable at no cost to the user and, with approval from Norton AntiVirus, McAfee SECURE , BBB and CNET, it's the simplest, most complete and trusted source for coupons and other deals. Explained Cataldo: "Drop Down Deals is a very convenient tool to find coupons and save. It's not invasive and it's safe to use. Drop Down Deals doesn't collect any information about you; it just recognizes what site you're on and automatically finds and displays any coupon codes available on that site."
