Merchants' Market
 
Note: This page will soon undergo a major revision of some sort.  This sort of information is going to become available (although perhaps not as detailed) in each of the individual neighborhood pages for Edison's Neighborhoods.
 
Keep an Eye Out for Sales, Promotions, and Coupons!
 
In the "Merchants' Market" we provide links for all local business (that have a web link of some sort) whereby you can check for special deals, sales promotions, and coupons. 
 
We're starting out with the Washington Park subdivision.  Eventually we'll try to get all of Edison covered.  That will take a while, so please be patient.
 
Businesses We Currently List:
 
  • All businesses within the Washington Park subdivision and along its border

 

Eventually To Be Included:

 
  • All businesses on Route 27 between the border of Highland Park and I 287
  • All businesses on Route 1 between the Border Highland Park and I 287
  • All businesses along Old Post Road north of Route 1
  • All businesses on Vineyard Road
 
If any other businesses in Edison or surrounding municipalities would like to be linked, please here let us know (see our Contact Us page).  We'll happily include them as well.
 
A general listing is provided at the bottom of this page.  See the nagivation bar to the left for subpages organized by business type, with more detailed information. 
 
Also, eventually, on our navigation bar to the left, look for a monthly article spotlighting a local business.

Coupon Shopping
 
Coupon shopping via the internet is all the rage.  And with the high cost of living these days, who doesn't want to try to save every penny they can? 
 
So here are some articles to learn about coupon sites, and reference material for smart shopping in general:

Customer Review Sites
 
There are a number of handy customer reviews sites available that are worth a look. 
 
Yelp.com - I like this site.  Customers write the reviews.  I've already got the link set up for Edison, NJ.  Just type in your address in the box on the right, and enter a search term on the left side.  As you type in the term you'll see category matches appearing below in a dropdown menu.  Or don't enter a search term at all and just click "Search" for your address.  All the customer reviews for businesses in the area will appear.  Very well designed site--good functionality.
 
InsiderPages.com - Not nearly as good as Yelp.  But if you're in search of more reviews, you might find some on this site.  The link I've provided here is set up to show all categories of business in Edison, NJ. 
 
The problem with this site is that the default geographical search radius is way too large. You're asking about businesses in Edison.  Instead it's giving businesses in a gazillion different towns, many of them quite far away. 
 
Chowhound.com - This is a pretty cool site where customers write restaurant reviews.  I have the link here set up for the Washington Park area.  But you can search anywhere you like by typing in a different city or address.
