Websites for local discounts

[mrsbornkuntry]

I recently learned about a website that gives discounts to local businesses. Each day it has a different business, if you're interested in that "deal" you sign up for it and enter your cc info. Then if at least 50 (I think) people sign up for it you get the deal and your cc is charged. So far I've only taken advantage for one deal, it was discounted passes to our local amusement place (mini golf, go karts, arcade, that sort of thing). They were 50% off of what we would pay regular price. The passes were for 2 people and I was able to buy 4 so we could take our whole family. 50 people signed up for it fairly early, they charged my cc and sent me an email with a link to print the passes, very easy.

The website is: www.groupon.com

There is another one called www.twongo.com , but I haven't used it yet and I'm not sure if it's just my area or if you can sign up for different areas like you can with groupon. It works a little differently, from my understanding the more people that sign up for a deal, the bigger the discount.

**disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with this site and this is not a referral link. Just passing along another way to save money**

That's how I got started on groupon, I was googling trying to find some new cheaper entertainment in my area, I've been pretty impressed with some of their deals, even if I didn't need them.

Love Groupon here in Chicago and have gotten a few coworkers and friends hooked on that site! I get the emails from Living Social but have yet to buy anything from them. I'll have to check the other site you mentioned!

Also, there are some local radio stations and newspapers that sell discounted gc's too!
