Local and national coupons? try Twitter!

Honestly, one of the best ways to find news and discounts in the Portland Oregon area is to follow people and businesses on Twitter. I've started a "Thrifty" Twitter list for local and national deals and check it once and a while. Lists are one of the best ways to organize the onslaught that is Twitter. You can follow PDXDIRECT here.
