If you live in or around a major city and like discounted fun...you'll love Groupon.com. A Groupon is simply an emailed local deal that you can purchase (like a heavily discounted gift-card). There are Groupons for all sorts of things... restaurants, spas, specialty stores, night/sports clubs, cooking classes, you name it. Who could turn down half price sushi? =)
The best part of Groupon, other than the deals themselves, is not having to hunt for them. They come to you! It's Easy:
Sign up for the mailing list (click "never miss a groupon" at the top, and make sure you've select the correct locale)
Get one great local deal in your email each day.
If you like a particular day's offer, buy the "Groupon" and use it before the expiration date
If you don't like the deal, don't do anything (no need to "opt out")...it's free and there's no risk!
The only caveat is that a Groupon only goes through if enough people claim it (usually just under 100 people or so need to). 99% of the time, the deal goes through anyway, but worst case scenario? The deal is canceled and you pay nothing.
It's easy to get: -an extra $50 cash-back on your new laptop,
-Free money just for surfing the web, -$100 for an hour of your time, -"Black Friday" deals all year round, for doing almost nothing...
But it's nearly impossible to win "big" in one shot. Even so, people waste money on games of chance. Why do that when you can successfully beat the system for free? It doesn't require much effort, you just have to have a little patience. I've made a hobby out of finding hidden and/or surprisingly easy ways to save money and make extra spending cash. Read this blog, and I'll show you how. If you have something to contribute, put it in the comments!
Make sure you review each site's FAQ section to ensure you receive all benefits. All deals are confirmed at the time of posting, but always verify for yourself. All posted screen-shots are taken from my own program accounts.
