Groupon.com

I just discovered a fabulous website and it was completely by accident. I was looking for deals in Las Vegas and stumbled upon the fabulous website Groupon. They have daily deals for all sorts of cities throughout the United States, so this isn't just a Cheap and Free in Charlotte deal or even just Las Vegas. Anyone can take advantage of it! Here's how it works... A business offers up it's deal for the day and they seem to all be at least half off of something, that I saw, Groupon says the deals are 50-90% off, pretty awesome! Then people start buying the deals right there online and the business sets a minimum number of people who have to buy the deal before anyone gets the deal (hence the group in groupon). If the minimum number of people sign up, they charge your card and send you a link to print your Groupon. If not enough people join, no one gets it (and you won't be charged). It seemed that it was often 20 people, but for instance, today's deal in Charlotte is for an equestrian center and 318 people have already bought the deal and it's only 9:20, so doesn't seem like meeting those minimums is an issue. You can even sign up to receive the daily deal to your inbox, click here to sign up. Definitely check it out, I want to hear about the great deals you get!
