Man! You can get Groupon vouchers for pretty much anything these days….
If you have not heard of Groupon, then you are either living in a box under the stairs, or you have simply heard of one of their competitors instead.
(And a big “Hello!” to all my readers who ARE living in a box under the stairs. I think it is most of you)
Groupon is one of the original websites that offer users discounts on goods & services, via the power of group buying. Users can only purchase the discount vouchers during a limited period of time, otherwise they may miss out forever.
Groupon has now expanded globally, and has been so successful, that there (are at last count) around 264 competitors to them, in the USA alone. These competitors have all started within the past 3 years.
In an effort to standout, many of these group buying discount sites has chosen to focus on niche products, such as beauty, fashion, alcohol or music.
If you look hard enough, you can find almost anything on one of these discount sites.
Some of the strangest ones I have found are:
> Save 20% at Museum of Sex
> Royal Wedding tickets at half price
> 85% off a tattoo
> 71% off plastic surgery
What weird stuff have you seen out there?
