Groupon

Have you heard of Groupon? It's been around for awhile in other cities, but just kicked off this week in Fort Worth. Here's how it works:

1. Each day, they'll send you an email with a local deal of the day.
   
2. You can choose to buy the Groupon, but you only get it if enough people participate that day…collective buying power, they call it. If not enough people sign up, the deal is canceled and you won't be charged.
   
3. Each deal lasts 24 hours (although you don't have to use your Groupon that day).

Today's deal comes from FaceLogic Spa and features a $39 facial and microdermabrasion treatment (a $128 value), but I just checked recent deals for Dallas (since it's so new in FW) and they've featured restaurants, golf courses, salons, and garden centers, among others.

I've only received two days of deals and don't know if I'll buy anything yet, but I look forward to what's going to pop up each day and hope to score some irresistable restaurant deals. We'll see!
