It has been a super busy few weeks for me! Easter and many Spring updates to the house (new fence, update deck, renovate pool, new wood floors in bedroom to name a few) have left me tired and B-ROKE! Gotta love owning a home!
In the midst of all this incessant money spending that makes me break out into hives, I have, of couse, found another way to do cool stuff and save some much need cash. This new little website is my new obsession- I should also add this disclaimer: Use this site responsibly, or you will wind up spending lotsof money! Which, obviously, is never my intention : )
So for those of you who know of this site- you probably understand my love for it...for those of you that do not...well- Welcome to www.Groupon.com. This is how it works (as quoted directly from their site):
1.Each day they feature something cool to do at an unbeatable price.
2.You only get it if enough people join that day… so invite your friends!
3.Check back the next day for another awesome Groupon!
There is a daily deal that is sent directly to the email of your choice, after you sign up. It can be anything from discount spa treatments, restaurant certificates, theater or fun events (I bought a Groupon that was a ticket to a Beauty Bash Martini event at a rooftop bar in NYC that was originally $75 for $35.), or money toward a store or boutique. If you (and enough other people, hence the invite your friends part) purchase the deal within the 24 hour timeframe, they will let you know that you got it ( so fun, it's like winning a prize!)and then charge your credit card. If there are any restricitions on the Groupon, such as expiration dates, they will be listed. You can sign up for the Groupon deals in your city or the big city that's is near your hometown. You can also purchase the daily Groupon as a gift!
This is such a fun way to find out about exciting things in going on in your area, and save some money. And although saving money is a great part of this site, but I really love it because it exposes me to fun activities I would not have know about otherwise.Just remember, limit yourself to the number of Groupons you buy, or the purpose of this site (to SAVE money) will be moot! With Mother's Day coming up- this is a great website to utilize for a fun, and different gift for Mom. Even better, purchase a fun daily deal from Groupon (maybe wait for an event or spa deal), then head over to www.restaurant.com, and purchase a restaurant gift card to use for dinner and you'll have a wonderful day, at probably half the price!
Have fun with this one everyone!
