10/2 Daily Groupon Round-Up

**Now is a great time to be on the lookout for good deals since the Holiday Season is fast-approaching.  Groupon is a great means to getting very nice AND very inexpensive gifts!**

I also have some exciting news (to me, at least):  Groupon has been added to Ebates!  This means that you can earn 6% cash back on your Groupon purchases!!!  To take advantage of this deal, first register for Groupon by clicking here, then register or log in to Ebates by clicking here.  On the Ebates site, type "Groupon" in the search bar, and then you will be able to click on a link that will take you to the Groupon site where you will earn 6% cash back on your purchase!

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:

• Baltimore & Charlotte - $15 for $30 worth of merchandise from BuyCostumes.com. This is a great deal for getting some cheap Halloween costumes!
• Boston - $29 for one day of the premium choice program from The Fresh Diet, a gourmet meal delivery service (a $60 value). The Fresh Diet’s premium choice program delivers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks to your doorstep.
• Fort Wayne - $15 for $30 worth of coffee from Utopian Coffee Co.. Shipping  and tax are included.
• Houston - $25 for $50 worth of personalized T-shirts, home goods, and other products ordered online from CafePress. Groupon can be used toward shipping costs.  
• Las Vegas - $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!

Remember, to make these deals even sweeter, after you register for Groupon by going here, register or log on to Ebates and then type "Groupon" into the search bar.  You will then be able to click on a link that will take you back to the Groupon site, where you will earn 6% cash back on your purchase!
