Have you heard of it? Groupon* is a lot of fun, and it’s a great way to get coupons that are specific to your town. When you sign up you will receive a coupon deal emailed to you each morning, and if enough people buy into the coupon (usually around 20 people) then you get the deal.

For example, last week I bought into the Shabby Apple‘s coupon- buy $100 worth of merchandise for $40- and redeemed it on the website. That is a spectacular deal. I got this dress:

and this dress:

There are also more local offers, like the groupon that offered a family membership to the Akron Art Museum for $35 dollars. I bought that groupon, too. I have to be careful that I don’t spend more money than I should just because it’s a good deal!
