groupon or livingsocial

Lots of my daughter's clothes come from Old Navy as do my favorite jeans. Today our Groupon had spend $10, get $20 at Old Navy. I agree with Steve, but about once a month there's something I'll use and would've bought anyway.

I guess if you were planning on doing one of those things anyway, it could save you a few dollars but I can't see it being that useful overall. Checking it every day seems like it would waste more time than it is worth.

I agree with your first post Steve. It only encourages more spending. Neither site really helps you save money. You can find better coupons elsewhere that do NOT involve spending money upfront. I can't tell you how many of my friends have bought "Groupons" and lost them/didn't use them/or whatever.

Stay away from these sites!

i will say groupon is super sweet when it comes to massage deals....i like my massages and usually would get one like once a month or so and use to pay like 50-80 dollars for em. ill never pay that price again. groupon is always offering a spa deal like once a month been getting massages now for like 25-35 dollars
