If you aren’t using Groupon yet, you are definitely overpaying for something. I’m serious, you can definitely find online deals on products, but they also have hotels, waterparks, fun attractions, restaurants, and salons. Every time I look at spending money on restaurants, attractions, or travel (whether it’s rural Iowa or Orlando), I check for Groupon deals nearby. In Orlando there is a Pirate Dinner Adventure (think Medieval times dinner show, but with pirates) that we went to last month. Tickets are normally around $60/per person and Groupon has them for $25-30. Some other awesome discounts currently on Groupon – the Crayola Experience at the Mall of America, Great Wolf Lodge near Chicago, and restaurants around the country at 20-50% off regular prices.
*These are my Groupon referral links (they give you a $10 credit to refer friends), but you can certainly sign up on your own if you don’t have an account yet at Groupon.com. I would happily refer anyone to Groupon with or without the referral link. It will save you tons of $$, especially in bigger cities.
