Groupon.com

Good Morning blog world!!

I was thinking...

as I lay snuggled in my warm bed this morning under 6 layers of covers because my room reaches arctic temperatures despite the heat blowing, because you know there is that one room in every house that is just always hot or always cold and you can't do nothing about it...

that I haven't written in awhile.

We have been enjoying a lot of relaxing family time around here and since I choose not to specifically write about my family it takes a whole chunk from my pool of inspiration.
Remember, that is why you hear so much about the dog.

Who by the way, is doing great!
She got a new blankie for Christmas, and she loves it!

She has spent the last two nights upstairs snuggled neatly upon it instead of sleeping in her bed.
Which is her crate...in my arctic room.
I think she is making a good choice there.

Well, I didn't come today to write about my puppy, but she does provide inspiration!
I came today to give you a tip!
I am pretty sure one of my Tennessee Sister in Laws emailed this tip to me about 5 months ago. Sorry that I haven't thought to share it with you until now.

Groupon is what I am referring to. Collective buying power is their tagline.
Here is where you can read more about how it works, but I will give you the skinny as well.
Each day I receive an email stating what the deal of the day is. It is commonly 40-60% off of services or products.
For instance, today's deal for the Houston area is:

$20 for $40 Worth of Upscale New American Fare at SouthStreet Dining in Tomball

The business of the day sets a minimum of how many of their deal they want to sell for that day and that day only, and once that minimum is met then the deal is on!
Usually by the time I check in each morning the deal has already gotten to this point.
Some things may not interest you in the least...like spray on tanning sessions or bootcamp exercise classes.
Others like gourmet food stores or your favorite clothing store might be worth your money and time.
So go check out the Groupon website, choose your appropriate city and see if it is something you would enjoy.

Gotta run!
