If you are one of those people that are always on the look out for discount offers to save you money you need to take a look at Groupon if you haven’t already done so. Groupon is a service that features massive daily discounts (50% to 90%) on goods and services in your city ranging from restaurants to stores and even special events.
How it works is that you check in with them on a daily basis or sign up for email alerts to see what deal is on offer for the day. They also have iPhone and Android applications which with the use of GPS make searching for Groupons in your locale that much easier.
The only catch that I can think of is that in order to take advantage of the daily deal a minimum number of people have to sign up for it. Once the required number has been reached, the deal is activated for everyone to enjoy.
A number of services such a Groupon are usually only limited to the United States but the good thing with them is that they are available to users in cities across the world. Another bonus is their referral program where you get $10 Groupon Bucks when a friend you have referred gets their first Groupon. Groupon Bucks can be used towards future Groupon purchases and best of all, they never expire and there is no limit as to how much you can earn!
There you have it, another great way to save yourself a few dollars and if you play your cards right and get lots of people to sign up you could be saving even more!
