Default newsletter

The links in the newsletter should direct you to a corresponding page so that you can find the information that interested you enough to click through in the first place. This week's e-letter was about Black Friday Deals. I clicked on the link for CVS and there was absolutely no reference to the Black Friday deals. The header on the top is "Coupon Deals by State." I had to scroll through the page to see a very small link toCVS buried in the middle of several other links. If you are going to spend the time sending an e-letter then take the extra time to make sure that the reader can easily get to the "pay off"

For Albertsons, from the home page put in your zip code(to the right). Then click on Specials and savings and then click on view all weekling ads(to the left). Should pull up the current week's sales papers.

Default Grocery Deals by State

Why haven't there been any new lists for Ralphs and Vons unadvertised deals in Southern California? When I check Ralphs it still says 11/21 and Vons is 12/5.
