Do you have any Grey Groupon AKA clipping for the modern age

With the popularization of the internet over the last fifteen years a lot of the different ideas and tools we use in meatspace have had to make their digital transition. The biggest of the last couple of days is this guy.

We all remember our folks clipping and using coupons for different things at the store. And coupons were just one more thing subject to the transitions of this new medium.

I can recall different emails offering savings before but one of the most interesting trends in coupon-like savings have been those deal-of-the-day sites. And the easiest to recall, to my mind is Groupon.

Here's how it works. You set up an account indicating your city (at the very least), you'll be sent an email and once you click the associated link, your account is active. Each day you are sent an email with a deal for your area. The deal is available if enough people buy it, otherwise you are charged nothing. I can't remember a deal not 'tipping' (meaning one that didn't activate on account of not enough interest). Like I said, when you fancy one of the daily deals, buy it, print a copy (or use a compatible mobile device) and take it to the business in questions to receive your deal.

We've had our teeth cleaned, got massages, went to the Ripley's museum ... all for way less than retail.

See if there's a Groupon in your area ... NOW
