C.U. Students Start Coupon Site

Local businesses offer specials, discounts

Scrimple.com, a term which combines “scrimp,” to be frugal with one’s money, with “simple,” is the brainchild of three Cornell undergrads who aim to save students money while boosting Ithaca’s economy. By providing free coupons which can be used at local hotspots like College Town Bagels, Aladdin’s and Ruloff’s, Scrimple claims to have saved Cornell students over $5,500 since the start of summer. It has generated almost $14,000 in revenue for local businesses.

“As students, we understand how expensive it is going out to eat or to bars. We’re trying to create something different and unique that focuses on one thing — promoting the college experience,” said Matt Ackerson ’09, founder and CEO of Scrimple.com.
