Personal Finance Fridays: Couponing

I have decided to bring back an element of my original blog and I will call it "Personal Finance Fridays."

I am trying to get into "Couponing" so today I will note that I have purchased my first "Groupon." I love the new reality show about couponing and I insist on learning how to do it.

I follow "Capitally Frugal" who alerts me of good deals in the Washington DC area & I have the iPhone app... but up until today I hadn't come across a Groupon that was useful for me. (lots of them look enticing, but ultimately I would be spending extra money on something I didn't plan on getting like a hot air balloon trip or fancy massage)

Today's Groupon is $10 for $20 worth of Barnes and Noble stuff & next week is the February birthday extravaganza at my brother's house. We have at least 12 people with birthdays this month. I had decided to get books for a few family members and now I will be getting them at half-price :)

I love it when a deal comes together.
