Get your GroupOn....

Do you shop Groupon? If you don't you should.  Go here to sign up - it's FREE, it just gives you access to good deals. Trust me - totally worth it!


I used Groupon to do some of my Christmas shopping. What? Yep - they had a deal for 50% off at Old Navy. Well, really it was pay $10 for a Groupon worth $20 in-store. Gladly! I bought 2 (there was a limit).


Groupon - it's a cross between Group and Coupon. Basically, they throw an offer out there and when enough people buy into it, it's "on" - in the event that there aren't enough people buying in to it, you just don't get charged for it. They also have awesome customer service, so no worries!


Mr. Paisley and I will also be going over to Deland to visit the reptile house - with a Groupon that is good for 2-for-1 admission. 


Other recent deals I have taken advantage of:


$5 for $10 at our local Dairy Queen
$10 for $20 at our local Dairy Queen (will be using that for a birthday cake - mmm ice cream cake!)
$10 for $20 at our new Twistee Treat (this one you actually take the Groupon and they give you a gift card, most of the time the Groupon is used more like a coupon and you have to use the full value in one transaction)
$10 for $20 at Bento Cafe (I got here for lunch frequently, if I get a Bento Box and a side of edamme it's $16 so even if I don't spend the $20, I still saved $6)


They do all kinds of offers, in cities across America - see if they're up and running near you! I check out the deals here in Central FL and near the Robin's Nest in TN.  


Some deals I've gotten thru Groupon for TN have been 2-for-1 admission to Country Tonite show and $10 for 2 adult movie tickets, 2 large drinks and 1 large popcorn at the little movie theater right down the street (which is awesome by they way - not only are the concession prices reasonable, but they also have $.25 refills on the drinks AND popcorn - ANY SIZE! - I don't know about your part of the world, but here in Central Florida - it would cost Mr. Paisley and I $30 for 2 movie tickets, 2 drinks and a popcorn - which is why we never go LOL)


PS today's Groupon is $10 for $20 at Old Navy again ;-) RUN

Friends & Family time at Big Lots!

20% off Friends & Family Event

That's right, it's that time again! 20% off your entire purchase at Big Lots on Sunday 7/17/11.

I will be picking up one (maybe two) of the small Keurig Coffee makers. I have a cheap coffee pot up at the cabin for other people (Mr. Paisley and I aren't coffee drinkers), but  no coffee. LOL Yep, i'm a bad hostess I guess.

Wouldn't the Keurig be sooo much easier? And the coffee wouldn't get stale. AND there's hot chocolate and hot teas as well. As I recall, Big Lots has it for $70 (or maybe it was $80). Either way, it's already cheaper than at the other stores and an added 20% off - sign me up. 

Sometimes they have good stuff in the hardware section - like good spray paint and piano hinges. Or storage containers. Or Lock n Lock (love me some Lock n Lock in the kitchen). Once I even picked up an adorable forest green Halston sweater for my cousin's little girl there. HALSTON. Seriously! And I have a short Nichole Miller trench coat that I scored there. The often have refurbished Dyson vacuums as well (my mom picked one up with a 20% off coupon a few years ago). 

Yes indeed...I will be at Big Lots on Sunday. What are you going to buy?
