<p>Each day, new Groupons start a midnight and go until 11:59 that night. Is your city one of the cities listed under the Groupon city listing? Once you sign up, look for the words “featured deal” near the top left of the page - that should bring you to the featured deal of the day in your city.</p>
<p>I am guessing that my local area does not having any deals for today. I was able to see deals for the city south of me and for my S’s college town.</p>
<p>What is your town (if you don’t mind sharing) - one of us can check.</p>
<p>I’ve been disappointed in Groupon. Our territory is our entire, densely populated, county. A discount for a nail salon or yoga studio 40 minutes away is useless to me. In 6 months of membership, I’ve purchased one coupon for one restaurant I’m not even that crazy about. Also, a lot of the “deals” are for mail order vendors I’ve never heard of–today was some “natural” foods place–and wouldn’t take a chance on even with the discount. I think many retailers have found Groupon participation to be a negative–they get inundated with new customers they make no profit on, and then few or none of them ever come back when the prices go back to normal. Or the discounts are used by regular customers who would have bought at normal prices anyway if not for the Groupon offer. I think the whole phenomenon will fade.</p>
<p>For those who are interested, Living Social is another entity that does the same thing Groupon does–but I’ve never found any of their “deals” useful either.</p>
<p>If you do groupon and have a Discover card you can save even more money</p>
<p>because you can use your Discover card to access Groupon and pay using Rewards dollars at a discount</p>
<p>e.g., $40 in Reward dollars gets you $50 in Groupon purchases</p>
<p>in the Boston are we’ve been able to use Group for nursery purchases, a local upscale restaurant, at a card store, and yoga classes for wifely</p>
<p>You should get an email each day with your deal, but not all towns have daily deals. I have signed up for numerous towns (where the kids are) and smaller towns have fewer deals. There is also group roundup dot com which shows the deals that are in each city and which you can access from where ever you are. I have used Nutty guys to send a gift which was good, but it did come with some weird groupon related info in the package which they claimed should/could not have been there, yet was.</p>
<p>Do they have it in Idaho Falls, Idaho?</p>
<p>I did not see where to click on their website to check for cities.</p>
<p>I don’t see it for Idaho Falls, probably too small for now</p>
<p>You click the “get email deals” and a line opens on the top offering a drop down menu of cities</p>
<p>Thanks. I’ve been reading the Chicago deals for about a week.</p>
<p>I do the same thing as somemom. I get info on my area deals, big city deals about an hour away and deals in my daughters city. I also have Living Social deals. I’ve gotten good ones for Barnes and Noble, Coldwater Creek, Fandango and yes, the nutty guys. Locally, I got one for an interesting General store that was about 30 minutes from my house, but just 10 minutes from my church. I visited it after a church meeting. I never would have found it without the Groupon, but it was pretty neat and if I’m up in that area again, I’ll be sure to stop in.</p>
<p>I agree that this may well be a short lived fad, as most people get the deal and then don’t return as a full paying customer.</p>
<p>Groupon today for Domino’s Pizza $8 for $20 large. While I’m not a fan of the pizza, it will make S happy at college, especially with March Madness upon us…</p>
<p>I just bought my S1’s birthday present: a Groupon for introductory flight lessons 50% off regular price. He will be so psyched!</p>
