What's Trending with Victor Lewis (This Morning with Aaron Keck)

Trending today: the rapid decline of coupon use, as American shoppers focus more on loyalty programs and in-store sales. (Americans are also less willing to devote a lot of time to shopping, which reduces the amount of time they’re willing to spend on bargain-hunting.) Also, Aaron remembers a notoriously penny-pinching professor, who cared a lot about saving money – and far less about saving time.
