Chester Green Team Says Shop Small For V-Day

The Chester Township Environmental Commission's Green Team has a way to load a few more arrows in Cupid’s Quiver through their book of coupons good at local Chester businesses.

The book contains 49 money-saving offers to Chester businesses. “We applied to the Sustainable Jersey small grant program last fall and were awarded a $1,000 small grant,” said Julie Gause, a member of the Green Team. “Anyone who lives, works, or shops in Chester will find wonderful discounts for many goods and services.”

The Green Team works with local government to help increase prosperity of local business, environmental conservation and social fairness. In return, this allows the community to reap rewards like the small grant program.  The Best of Chester: Fabulous Values for our Fabulous Shoppes, is a coupon book inspired by coupon books that offer coupons to large out-of-town chain stores. Many of the coupons will inspire shoppers to try something new! Buying locally and choosing to keep our dollars in town means:

·  local businesses gains support

 · creates jobs in town

·  business owners gain awareness

· more personalized service

· community investment

Each coupon book costs $10, and with the use of just one coupon, the book will pay for itself. Proceeds from the sale of the books will be used to fund future printings. You can buy 'The Best of Chester' coupon books at these locations:
