Groupon.com

Groupon.com is a website that I stumbled upon through the Wall Street Journal not that long ago. Amazing deals happen everyday at this website. Basically you go there and put in your local zip code and it will show you the deal of the day. It could be 50% off any purchase at Mimis Roses. Or buy 1 get 1 free at hot dog Moe's. The way it works is the business sets up a minimum number of buyers for the deal to be ON. If the minimum isn't met the deal is off.

So let's say you really want to get Chili hot dogs at Now's and he put a minimum of 50 buyers to be able to use it. If the number of buyers is at 49 you'd hurry and call you hot dog eatin' face stuffin' sausage munchin friend to hurry up and buy up the deal. It's ON. Bring it ON. Group ON.

It's really a neat idea and we don't know how no one hadn't thought of it before. The more it catches on, hopefully the more deals we'll be being in our area.

What about you. Have you got your Groupon on yet?
