Posted on June 30, 2010 | 1 comment

  

1-Day Groupon Deal (expires TODAY, 6/30):  

If you are looking for some inexpensive gift or home decor ideas,  Groupon
has an offer today worth taking a look at!  

With this Groupon offer, you will receive $35 worth of interior accents
and home trimmings at Real Deals Home Décor in Keller. Their prices
are already really low, so the Groupon Deal makes shopping with them a
really amazing bargain! Take a look at the Real Deals Home Décor

Go here to sign up for today’s deal at Groupon Fort Worth.  

   

                       

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!  

A couple of months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we
did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with
Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.  

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events
across the country. Fort Worth is the 51st city launch for Groupon, and
in the last month, I’ve seen their offers include everything from
50% Off Nothing Bundt Cakes to 60% Off Spa Services to 55% Off
carpet cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between!  

Here’s how it works:  

1.  Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price. 

2.  You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal
if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along
to your friends)! 

3.  Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer!
