I have been a
Groupon user for a little over 2 years now. I have been more than satisfied with it! After reading reports of 'how people have
NOT saved with it' encouraged me to share how it has helped me and my family save money! As consumers, we know that prices have increased all across the board, so saving money where we can is definitely worth it, right?!?! When using
Groupon, you still have to be a
Smart Shopper! What does it take to be a
Smart Shopper? Well, it means to shop smart, of course! If you are not sure, find out how to be a
Smart Shopper:
5 ways to be a Smart Shopper
- Purchase ONLY items and/or services you truly need. Shop smart!
- Even though items and/or services are on sale, it does not mean "buy".
- Go into a store with a list of what you need to buy, so you are not walking around looking for what to buy.
- Search for deals on items and/or services you plan to buy. You would be surprised at what is out there.
- Do not over buy. This goes back to #3 - do not over buy things you need; buy for your immediate need or else you can forget you bought it and money will just be wasted - especially on perishable items!
Okay, now that you know how to be a
Smart Shopper and and have learned 5 ways to shop smart, you will now be disciplined enough to use
Groupon and reap the benefits of this amazing service! My family and I use
Groupon primarily for our dining-out needs. Not only does it save us money, but it gets us to try different cuisines in the area. When we used to go out to eat in the past, we always had a hard time deciding on a place to eat, so
Groupon has made it easier for us! My family now dines with ease and saves money; thanks to
Groupon! Let me give you a quick description on my family size: 2 adults and a small child; my husband is a born-saver and I am
Smart Shopper that never likes to overpay for anything. Most places do not charge for toddler age, so we can usually order 2 meals and split the meals between the 3 of us. Being a stay-at-home mom has forced me to get creative on how to save money for the family and be a
Smart Shopper.
