New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few 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!

Taking advantage of this deal supports Frugal in Fort Worth.

Enjoy and Share! :)
