Money tip

Sara was tired and went to bed early, and I do not know what to blog about, so I'm gonna throw in this plug...

In case you are interested in helping us out a little bit while helping yourself out and also discovering hidden (or already discovered) treasures in your city, we recommend Groupon. We've already enjoyed it and will continue to do so to get discounts on gifts (meaning the gifts can get bigger) and on outings. If you are not already subscribed to it and you are interested in checking it out, we would appreciate it if you signed up through the following link, as we then get a little bit of money back from Groupon for referring you:

Signing up means you will get daily emails with tremendous deals on particular businesses/stores/services (often in the 50-60% off range, sometimes more, rarely less). These emails can quickly be scanned to see if the deals listed are interested or not (if not, the email simply goes to the trash box and voilà). Also, if you have some time, reading the detailed descriptions of the day's deals can be very entertaining, as they work with some great creative writers.

BTW, to make your money go even further, it turns out that Ebates actually works with Groupon to give cash back if you go through them first!
