When was the last time YOU Grouponed?









Where do you look first when you are searching for a gift for that hard to please person, or for the guy (or gal) who “has everything“?
 
Where can you find the best deals when you are looking to buy a new appliance?
 
 And where can you find fun adventure or ideas (with discounts) for your next vacation,
or ways to make a staycation more fun and affordable?
 
For me - Groupon and Groupon’s Coupons is the place to start all of those searches. You can get up to date user recommendations, pricing comparisons, discounts and directions all in the same app. It's user friendly and if you turn on your location services on your phone, it can even find things “near you”.
 
This is so handy, especially when traveling in unfamiliar areas, or when you decide to eat out on the spur of the moment. Or maybe you break a nail while on vacation or your polish flakes off from the beach - where can you get it fixed quickly and affordably before that big dinner tonight?
 
Groupon can tell you.
 
It will even bring up your maps and show you how to get there, or help you call to get an appointment. I used Groupon and Groupon’s Coupons to find some “once in a lifetime” memorabilia for my sports fan daughter and her husband for Christmas gifts when a certain sports team made history last year.
 
Yeah - I know Cubbies gear was everywhere - but NOT the items I bought. You can get great rates on limited availability items that you won't see anywhere else in your area. Especially if you live in Smalltown, USA like I do.
 
I'm an armchair shopper. I have better things to do than spend all day in stores comparing items and prices. I let Groupon and Groupon’s Coupons do that for me!

Aulker Screen Protectors



We put way too much money into our phones to take a chance of using them even 1 day without having a screen protector on the front.  We buy quality cases, and I always make sure to have extra screen protectors on hand.  Why?  Because if you damage the screen protector, you are going to want to get it replaced right away, just in case you drop your phone again.

These are easy to apply and fit the 7 and 6 both very well.  You get 3 of them in this package, which is a bargain.  The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have the standard wet & dry wipes and the dust removers.  You can make your own by using the same spray and wipes that you use on your classes, or if you don't have those, then just spray a little window cleaner on a soft, lint free towel and clean your screen well.  Then use a piece of scotch tape to pull all the dust off the screen.  Then peel the backing off of the protector, apply it to your phone and lightly press the very middle of the protectors.  I never need the squeegee or credit cards to make them stick - gravity and the nature of the protectors take care of that just fine.  Lastly peel the front off and you are done.

I got mine for evaluation purposes, and you can grab yours here:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0AVYYQ/
