Regular readers of the blog might have noticed the Groupon ad on the home page. Just in case you missed it, let me tell you that you need to check for online discounts on the site before purchasing anything. You might just save quite a bit of money. I think Groupon coupons might be my new best friend. It has recently saved us quite a bit of money… Yeah!!!! It’s a sponsored post but it’s awesome and useful information.
Previously, I’ve used Groupon for movie tickets, manicures and even massage discounts. I had no idea Groupon also had travel and hotel (just input what you want and boom!) ones until Federico’s sister requested a specific watch for her birthday. I ended up ordering it online and having it delivered directly to her. Of course l never told her how much we paid :-). Easy peasy, and it was 70% off! Just the way l like it. I then noticed the online discounts for hotels like Hilton and travel sites like Hotwire. It is definitely going to play a part now in my planning for our trips this year. I just wish l had known this earlier.
You owe it to yourself to check out Groupon Coupons for great deals, and not just only for travel. There are discount codes for shoes like Clarks (Love my AirWalks and Desert Boots) that l spied with my little eye :-). Plenty of restaurants too! I even forwarded a 65% off Cancun deal to my friends who were looking to go. It’s free for everyone, no club membership or any of that twaddle, just straight up discount codes to apply at checkout.
Am l the last person in the world to know this or have you been using Groupon coupons?
I have used Groupon for local cream teas, restaurants etc, but did not know about discounts on hotels? I will definitely check it out in the future. Thanks for this great tip 🙂
Me too. I thought it was just for movies or artsy stuff. I remember one of my niece scoring us some circus tickets in London with a very steep discount, but like you, l had no idea you could use it for travel.. Yeah!!!
I’ve never used them. Will try to be more responsible fiscally and check them out.
Where are you? 🙂 I don’t want to verbalize a guess.

The frugal side of you will love it. You can find Target, Walmart etc discounts that you can apply online. I loved getting hour massages for like $25 with the discounts :-). Okay… I’ll tell you, Valencia…home of the paella. Will write about it in a couple of days or so…highs..and low lows!
I thought it was paella, but my insecurity wouldn’t let me submit that answer. I guess I didn’t realize Valencia was the actual home of the paella.
It certainly is the home of paella 🙂
For some reason, I always thought that it was some sort of a scam – it seemed impossible to have such amazing discounts. I will definitely check them out from now on since they’re tested by somebody I trust. And getting a 70% discount on a nice watch would come in handy for me too since Valentines Day is coming 🙂
Oh no, they are quite popular in the U.S and have been around for a while. I have used them plenty for massages and manicures, not to mention only going to the movies when they had the discounts ($6 vs. $13). I think they work on volume. My niece uses it in London for quite a bit of stuff and my SIL uses them in Rome since they expanded there. I just never knew about the travel related part..just goes to show you! Definitely trustworthy :-).
I heard of them a while ago. Groupon is BAE!
Glad to hear you’re a fan 🙂
Groupon is that deal! 🙂 I had no idea that you could use it for travel too. Thanks for the heads up!
You’re welcome! Enjoy 🙂
Mmm – that paella looks awesome! I’ve always thought of Groupon as a US group and din’t even think about using it for travel so I’ll definitely be taking another look. Thanks for the tip Kemi-Kem! Anita
Oh my God!! It was so, so good.. I finished every last grain. Yeah.. Groupon has been expanding. My SIL is now hooked on it. One day she told Federico “you really have to try this new company..blah..blah” and l told Fede.. Groupon. Then he asked her and she said OMG..how did you know?. She thought they were only in Italy”.. Haha! I had a good laugh.
Hmm, is that Paella or some hot Madras chicken!? I like that idea that it’s hot Madras chicken, love Indian food – my favorite dish is lamb vindaloo. But have to eat it at home because it cuts through me hard and you don’t want Delhi belly when walking the streets somewhere. Happened once in Ilha Grande (not far from Rio) and I swear I destroyed that toilet.
Sorry, this post was about Groupon? Never heard of them 😉
It’s paella 🙂 . Thanks for sharing this information..haha! I can picture you with the Delhi belly. I’m sure it was not fun. I love Indian food too though. Haha! You mean there is no Groupon in Canada? Scare Bleu 🙂 :-).
My mom and I go away for Mother’s Day! I totally forgot about Groupons. I sent her an email to start looking for our trip this year. Thanks!
ool! I hope you guys get a fabulous deal. Yeah..it’s good to know about the travel side of Groupon 🙂
I LOVE Groupon deals. I’m also planning on using them for travel this year for my birthday. Their deals are awesome!
You’re right. The deals are awesome. I plan on doing the same 🙂
I love groupon coupon deals. I have to actually check them out for my upcoming trips.
You’ll be pleased I’m sure. Loving it so far 🙂
Groupon is AMAZING!!! I remember when I was getting married I found our Photo Booth through Groupon…I couldn’t beat the price!!!
Oh wow! You must have ben really pleased with that deal. The booths are so much fun, and to get it at a discount must have rocked! 🙂
Definitely going to give this a look. I keep hearing about it and at least I will pass the information to people that I know who love Groupon.
You should do. I am glad they have expanded to include everything, not just movies and such. I think your friends would appreciate it :-).
This is a great way to save during trips! Thanks for the suggestion because I definitely didn’t consider this!
I hadn’t either. I just never really thought of travel for Groupon. From now on, will definitely check first. 🙂
Yes, I love Groupon and Groupon coupons! Gonna have to remember this post for when I travel as well!
So very good to hear. One more thing to help save money is always good 🙂
Groupon, has some really great travel deals.
Yep! They certainly do 🙂
Groupon is the business. The hubby and I score a paint night out deal and it was awesome.
Nice one! It’s amazing the number of things you can use them for 🙂
Great Info! I’ve used Groupon for discounts at the dentist, pedicures and so on but never knew they offered deals on travel. Good to know !
I used them for frivolous stuff too and was definitely glad to hear they do travel as well :). Go crazy! 🙂 ;-).
Honey, I had no clue that you could use Groupon for travel! Great post…thanks so much for sharing.
You’re welcome. I hope you can put it to good use and save some moolah!!! 🙂
I am looking for a Spring destination and this post is just timely reminder to check Groupon.
Good. You should be able to find great deals :-).
They’re my little travel secret too, I’m quite the Groupon fan 🙂
Glad you’ve been putting it to good use :-).
Thanks for the heads up. I haven’t checked out Groupon in a while, so now is as good a time.
Yeah.. it’s one of those things you often forget about, but it is a money saver! 🙂
