Secret Restaurant Deals

Groupons are available for different cities all over the world, even yours! Why pay full price when you go out to eat or to be entertained? Plus, for every friend you refer, you'll get $10 in Groupon Bucks!

Groupon negotiates huge discounts on all kinds of popular local goods, services, food, events, etc. Then they offer the deals to thousands of subscribers in a free daily email. The deals are activated only when a minimum number of people agree to buy. So subscribers get a great deal and the business gets a ton of new customers. Win-win situation.

For example, one of my favorite local restaurants had a Groupon for $15 worth of food for just $7. So I bought the $7 Groupon, which is better than a buy one get one free deal. Saved a ton on a yummy lunch for two I was going to buy anyway!
