So I feel totally clueless because I had never heard of Groupon until I read a few bloggers post about it recently. I feel behind the times (kind of like I did when I had joined Google Reader months after everyone else I know had already joined).
My curious self ventured over to the Groupon Toronto website to check out what its all about and was pleasantly suprised- the concept is totally cool!
The idea behind it is that everyday, there is a new deal on something entertainment/health & fitness wise that is hugely discounted. If enough people buy the item, they open the item up to everyone to purchase. It tells you on the website, what the original price is, what the current deal price is, and what your saving. Today's deal for Toronto is a $20 membership at MetaBody (retail value= $300!) so you save $280 on this deal!
I don't think I'll use Groupon often because it only offers deals in large cities like Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary- but I'll definitely check it out once and a while to see if there are any good deals on entertainment type things if I want to do something in Toronto one night. Maybe they'll have good deals on tickets or something?!
Have any readers used Groupon before and purchased anything? Or are you new like me and never heard of Groupon before?
