Group+Coupon=Groupon, pretty cool play on words, eh?
Hi there! I was just browsing around the ol' internets today when I stumbled upon this pretty cool website. It's called "Groupon". Here's the basics of it. Company wanting to increase business tells Groupon "Hey, dude, I need business. Could you sell these 100 coupons for me?" Groupon replies "Sure dude! I'd love to! Business will be booming!" Or something like that.
Here's how it works:
-You sign up(free account)
-View the deal of the day
-Buy said deal
Cool thing is, you can also buy them as gifts. For instance, today's deal is $99 for a one night weekend stay ($49 for a weeknight stay) at a very nice hotel near KC. I say that would make a great gift for a couple celebrating their anniversary, a birthday, or a surprise for the wifey!
Some of the past deals include: $12 "Ghosts and Gangsters Tour" originally $25, $29 for a One-Hour Massage of Your Choice at Rejuvenate Mind-Body Wellness Center in Lee's Summit originally $65, and a $45 Zip Line adventure at Zip Line USA originally a $95 value!
Guess what?! They also have a cool app available for the iPhone and in the Android Marketplace. The user interface is very simple and easy to navigate.
RECOMMENDATION: Check out this site before you go on any trips, chances are they have a deal near the city you'll be going to and you may be able to get some cheap lodging, food, drink, or fun!

Starting Up Again
Okay, real quick post. I'm going to start blogging again. It's been about a year and alot has gone down. I'm going to start fresh.
My name is Justin. I'm soon to be separating from the United States Army here in a couple weeks or so. Welcome to my journey. Welcome to my head.
The content of this blog will vary. Sometimes I'll talk about ways to save money. Sometimes I'll talk about music. Or the Chiefs. Or computers. Or maybe, I'll just vent.
I thank you for reading this and I hope you'll click the ads (every time you click, a couple pennies click my way if ya know what I mean)!
