53% off on a Justin Bieber singing toothbrush.
(Is there really any point to Groupon?)

(102,357 posts)After more than a year, I have used Groupon once--to go to the zoo. The rest of the offers have been pretty worthless.
I am considering dropping them as well. I don't need the extra four spam emails/day.

I did buy one deal, though: $10 for $40 at a Baltimore Italian restaurant. I have yet to go though, but I have till June.
I've also noticed that most of their offers are for 2 or 4 people. They have very few offers if you want to do something by yourself.

An anonymous career banker inside Goldman Sachs opened a twitter account (GSElevator) with the intention of revealing the hilarious banter that takes place in the privacy of the GS elevators. Since then, the account has evolved to include things overheard on trading floors, bullpens, lobbies and bars. Some of the conversations involve more than one person, and the participants are distinguishable by their number (#1, #2, #3).
Here are some of my favorites from the past several months
#1: "Groupon
Food stamps for the middle class."
#1: "If you can only be good at one thing, be good at lying
because if youre good at lying, youre good at everything."
#1: "My garbage disposal eats better than 98% of the world."
#1: "Living my life is like playing Call of Duty on Easy. I just go around and fuck shit up."
#1: "I never give money to homeless people. I cant reward failure in good conscience."
#1: "By now, protesters just look like pigeons to me."
and I don't remember where I found this.....just that it makes me ill.
