Another Day, Another Groupon

My name is Carolyn and I am a flash sales junkie. There I said it – admitting it is the first step or so they say. I don’t know how it got this far. It started with one simple Groupon offer (I think it was for something at nursery (flowers not kids) and the next thing I know I was hooked. Now between Groupon, LA Deals, Amazon, Last Call, Haute Look, Ideeli – I’m a goner. So far I have purchased yoga classes, Botox, window cleaning services, cashmere sweaters, art, barre classes, rowing classes, acupuncture, massages, passes to an Korean day spa, the list goes on and on. I just can’t help myself. Who doesn’t like a good deal and there are just so many. And you have to “Act Now” or you get shut out. I still kick myself over the loss of a great framing deal. I watched enviously as another customer handed over her Groupon for 30% while I had to pay full price – oh the unfairness of it all.

So I am taking it one day at a time. Today it was merely more yoga classes – 5 for $30. I hesitated, I waited, as the time clicked by and finally I couldn’t stand it any longer. My inner downward dog was calling me – so I hit “Purchase”. Oh the joy, the elation, the 62% off. Magic.

We will see what tomorrow brings – a trip, wine tasting, an oil change – I mean I need these things anyway – right.

Stay tuned.
