Coupons … Groupons, anyone?

I have to come clean to one of my best friends, an Organic Structure. She sent me an invite to the Groupon site eons ago and I ignored it. I thought it was some nutty coupon cutting thing. And yes, as a Classic, I should be obsessed with coupons but I was raised by a Smart Structure who wouldn’t personally cut coupons even if it were the apocalypse. Anyway, sorry, KatieEbner, this is a SUPER cool site!

Here’s what sold me — my friend, Kiri, told me that she got pilates classes for half off. It had never dawned on me that one could easily save money on cool services that I most often treat as a luxury because of the price tag! Here’s how it works in Groupon‘s own words:

1. Each day (they) feature something cool to do at an unbeatable price.
2. You only get it if enough people join that day… so invite your friends!
3. Check back the next day for another awesome Groupon!

I ordered a massage at half price for my husband for Valentine’s Day … score! This is brilliant for Funs who are the best at finding a deal because they’re so detail oriented and patient about getting things done (or at least more patient than a Classic like me who wants everything done, yesterday).  Smarts should like the intelligence behind it because Groupon has to come up with deals that will appeal to enough people to work. It’s kind of a mob or majority rules business model — maybe not something we’d want for our government but DEFINITELY for getting great deals on luxuries.
