A few months ago, I shared my love for a new daily deals site called “Groupon,” and since then I have had many of you jump on the bandwagon.
With a few month still ahead before Christmas, shopping now will get you a huge jump on the season, not just with last minute stress, but also with the gift giving budget. Plan now, save now…
When I posted about Groupon, I only thought we could sign up for our home town and shop their local deals. I’ve snagged some great Groupons discounts, such as planning a whole field trip for my home school group to a local attraction for 50% off with our Groupon voucher. What I did not realize is that there are daily deals around the country that are NOT specific to the area in which you live. Meaning, if the deal is for a website, you may purchase any of those deals. I’ve been missing out on some amazing opportunities to get my Christmas shopping done now, for a fraction of the cost. When you sign up, choose the town closest to you for your daily deals, but then log in and purchase any of the offers from other cities.
Here are just a few of the daily deals that work across the nation. I’ve linked to some of the sites, but you have to sign up to be a member for Groupon first and then can access the deal. Could you let me know if you’re interested in having me post these a few times throughout the week as we head towards the Christmas season? I would be more than happy to include this additional post if it would be helpful.

YES YES YES please keep posting them! I love this idea!
I just discovered groupon a couple months ago and love it too! I didn’t know about the non-area-specific deals…great tip!
Another site similar to groupon is
I was wondering about the glade coupon on your side bar it is letting me print multiples and where it says pin number there is none? help!
@clairec, I sent off an email to see if I can get answers. So you are able to get the coupon?
I joined groupon a while back, but didn’t realize we could buy coupon from any of the cities! This makes me excited! I am going to start paying attention.
Thank you for this comprehensive list! I live in Portland, but just got the Barclay Wines Groupon for my husband for his birthday. I would love if you could send awesome lists like this – perfect for Christmas shopping!! Thank you very much.
I love the Groupon listings/deals. Is there a way to see the deals from all of the cities other than signing up for the emails and flooding your inbox, or going to the website and clicking on every city?
@Jean, well, if you sign up for Groupon, then you have to go to the specific city to see the details. There’s no way to see all of them at a glance since they change daily. You won’t flood my inbox by signing up for their inbox. 🙂 If I post these every few days, then you can glance at what the deals are.
I agree, YES, please do post these deals if you can! I get the local deals email, but hadn’t even thought to use other cities or use them for Christmas shopping! Thanks!
Awesome! Keep those holiday gift-giving ideas coming! Any help is appreciated, as it gets overwhelming and pretty expensive with so many people to buy for!
We got the movie deal a couple of weeks ago and it’s fabulous!
Love me some Groupon! I was one of the bazillion people that got the GAP deal. I’ve been checking out about 4-5 cities every day and am VERY excited that my city will be getting their own soon (Chattanooga). Wahoo!
Groupon is so addictive, I have many. We like to lock in the city we plan on vacationing too, and watch deals there as well.
I love Groupon, but I wasn’t aware of the other ones besides in your city. That would be awesome if you could keep posting these!!
I just started reading your blog but YES that would be so helpful! Thank you!!!!
