Groupon!

So, It's been awhile. Life kind of exploded for a couple of weeks there. But, it is on it's way back to normal.
During those weeks I discovered through a few friends here in Utah, Groupon. You sign up and there is are daily deals sent to your email. Usually they are deals for more extravagant spending. Deals for Friday night dates, weekend get aways, yummy restaurants, etc. But, the point of this blog is to show you that you are able to have a fun-filled "normal" life while still being frugal.

A Groupon example:
Provo River Cruises has a Halloween cruise. They line the river with jack-o-lanterns and pile 40 people into a boat. The guide tells a haunted story to set the mood. A pirate even attacks the ship during the ride! I'm super excited about that. The cruise runs through October and is normally $14.00 per person. Groupon sent an email to me to buy the tickets for 50% off, $7.00 per ticket. I could buy one ticket or more!

Point is that a Halloween cruise isn't something that I would necessarily have known about or thought about budgeting in, but with Groupon it's something that can easily become a reality without killing my budget.

Just go to http://www.groupon.com/  and choose the city you live in or near, and subscribe to the emails, in order to start saving on adventures, relaxation, and sometimes necessities!
