(LARGO, FL — January 27, 2014) – Valpak Direct Marketing Systems, Inc., a leader in local print and digital coupons has been in the business of helping people save money for more than 45 years. Valpak knows making New Year’s Resolutions, which usually includes resolutions about saving more and spending less, can be daunting. Now that most of the month has gone by, how well are you sticking to your resolutions?
