You get emails announcing the special of the day. Sometimes its a restaurant, other times it's things like spa services or kayak tours (to mention some of the recent San Diego bargins). If the minimum amount of people sign up within a specific time period (usually 20 or so) the deal is on. You have a limited amount of time to sign up for the deal then a coupon is sent via email the next day. Restrictions on when the coupon can be used is up to the individual vendor but usually there are little or no limits, just be mindful of the expiration date. Print it out and presto... bargin city.

Use this link to sign up and I'll get a $10 Groupon credit for each new member

Earlier this week I had a hunger for some soul food from local place I love but haven't indulged in a long time because of my tight budget. But today Bonnie Jean's was the Groupon special so I got a coupon for $30 worth of food for only $15.

It's like they read my mind... I see smothered chops, collard greens, mac-n-cheese and red velvet cake in my future soon!!

I LOVE 3 out of the 4 things you mentioned.
