I am currently addicted to Groupon, and I've gotten so many amazing deals!  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Groupon, it's a site that negotiates with retailers to get huge discounts (usually 50-90% off) on local goods, services, activities, etc.  Once you sign up, which is free, fast, and easy, Groupon will send you one email a day with your area's deal.  Groupon also often features many non-city-specific deals, meaning that anyone can buy and use the deal even if they are not from the featured city (if your city is not yet listed, I would still recommend signing up so you can take advantage of some of these non-city-specific offers!).  Below I have listed today's non-city-specific deals.  In order to take advantage of these deals, sign up or sign in here and then click on "view more cities" near the top of the page to find the deals listed under the cities below:

My Favorite Deals Today:

• Providence - Get 4 movie tickets from WeeklyCinema.com for $20!! AND, this Groupon is valid for IMAX and 3D movies! I don't think you can beat $5 for an IMAX or 3D movie!  This Groupon sold out VERY quickly last time, so if you're interested, I would recommend snagging it ASAP.  These would make GREAT stocking-stuffers!                                                                                    (NOTE: It's a bit confusing how they word this on the Groupon, but basically you pay $20 for the Groupon, which you then have until December 30 to redeem through WeeklyCinema.com for vouchers that you then have 90 days (from the time of the first redemption at WeeklyCinema.com) to redeem through Fandango.com or MovieTickets.com for four tickets, which you do NOT need to use all at once.  So, if you redeem on WeeklyCinema.com in December, you will have until March to use your tickets!  However, you can obviously redeem them sooner if you'd like!  I bought one of these when it was offered in a different city, and I'm now considering buying another one because I think it's such a great deal considering how expensive movie tickets are these days!!)
• Bakersfield or San Antonio (Side Deal) - $25 for $50 worth of personalized gifts, such as greeting cards, t-shirts, mugs, and more from Zazzle.com.  With the Holiday season coming up, I think this Groupon is a great buy - it could make for some great personalized Christmas gifts or really inexpensive, personalized Holiday cards.
• Orange County - $25 for $75 worth of wine from Wine Insiders. The Groupon can be used toward shipping and tax. Shipping is free if you order 12 bottles.  I've personally bought two of these Groupons, and I'm very pleased.  I ordered the mystery mix box (12 bottles) and got some great wine that ended up being only about $5 a bottle!!
