What is Groupon?

Groupon is a shopping site that offers daily discounts. Groupon gives you an electronic coupon for such things as restaurants, stores or local services. You can expect to save from 40% to 70% discount if you purchase that service. Groupon will give you local discounts on everything from groceries to museum memberships.

Groupon itself is free to use and free to join. Groupon will make the deals relevant to you. If you enter information, such as zip code gender and age, it will give you more specific deals. This will enable you to get more localized deals.

It is a deal of the day website that offers discounts on many business, organizations and services in the United States. Groupon sends out email announcements to their subscribers daily. These describe the deal of the day in your metro area. If you like the deal then you purchase it directly from Groupon. You can pay for it with your credit card or through Paypal.  You can then print that coupon, take it to the business it is for and redeem it, many times for double or even triple the value you paid or it.

Examples of some of the Groupons you can get are things like local beauty shops and spas. If you would like to pamper yourself for a day, you can find a lot of good deals. Or there are Groupons for all kinds of restaurants in your area. You can search on the site for different restaurants in your area and possibly go to one that you may not of even heard of or wouldn’t visit otherwise, but that you can discover something new through Groupon.

 Something else that is fun on Groupon is you can find things to do in your area. You can get some really good discounts on local activities, and have an adventure doing some new things. An example is something like a Paint Night. That is where you go to a bar or a restaurant and you can paint a canvas and you learn to paint from a master artist. You can save up to 50% on this event through Groupon and it looks like a lot of fun! If you haven't checked out the site yet, go have a look!
