L.I. endorsed: Groupon

I've never been a believer in coupons, but my wonderful wife-to-be got me interested in Groupon a while back, and I think it's worth your time. You sign up and they email you once a day with a deal in your area, usually half off or more.

You end up learning about places you'd never heard of. The last two months we got a cheap membership to one of those indoor rock climbing gyms, half off tours at a local brewery, and a state-required emissions inspection for half price. Next month I'm taking an hour long helicopter lesson for $90.

Consider it. I get some kind of commission if you click the ad below and sign up ... or maybe if you buy something. I don't really know, and I'm sure it's pennies. But I recommend this product. Plus, they told google to stick it last week, so they've got that going for them.
