If you are looking to stretch your dollars a little farther and support Holdrege businesses,you need the Smart Shopper Book! 
“This is the only discount coupon book that’s produced here in Holdrege, with 100% of the proceeds it raises going back into the community,” said Michele Ehresman, executive director of the Chamber. “The merchants have been very generous, so if you use it just a few times, you’re making money.
Among the bargains available:
• Buy one oil change get three free at Black Motors
• $2 off a large pizza at Casey’s
• Buy one Big Mac or Quarter Pounder and get one free at McDonalds
• $10 off 200 minutes of tanning at Movies, Tanning and More
• $3 off any entree at the Sail Inn
• Buy a regular 6” sub and get one free with purchase of a large drink at Subway
• $5 off any purchase, up to 12 purchases, at the Drawer
“We want to help people in the community understand how important it is to shop locally,” Ehresman said. “If everyone would just do 10% more of their discretionary spending in Holdrege, the effect on the local economy would be phenomenal. It would help us hold the line on taxes and still have money for community projects.”
The Smart Shopper program was organized by the Chamber’s Special Events Committee, which is chaired by DeAnn Vaughn and includes Dana Killough, Liz Lawrence, Darlene Clinch and Janet Boehler.
Other merchants participating in the Smart Shopper discount book are: Country Cookin’, Craft Boutique, Creative Hand, Dairy Queen, East Avenue Pub, Holdrege Floral, Hilsabeck’s Sporting Goods, Holdrege Market Place, Janssen Motors, Pamida, My Favorite Party Shoppe, Rapid Lube, Reddish Barn, Runza, S&W, Sunmart and Taco Johns.
