does it look bad to use a groupon when out with friends or possible someone your dating? or do you think they are so common now, nobody would look at as "cheap"?

Maybe a first or second date....but w/ friends? No. It's actually kinda "cool" nowadays. I buy them all the time and so do my buddies. We even text or email each other when there's somewhere we all like....

If you use a Groupon or one of those Entertainment Books it doesn't make you look cheap because you have to pre-purchase the discount. If you use one of those clip and save coupons then it can make you look cheap on a date. Just don't always take your guests to restaurants where you have a Groupon at.

I will tell you what.
I met my girlfriend 5 years ago in the line of a grocery store.
She had a handfull of coupons from the Sunday Paper checking out her groceries. A 28 year old hotty with coupons.
She looked fine as heck, and for some reason seeing this chick in the line of the grocery store with coupons turned me on like crazy.
So much so that I introduced myself to her and the rest is history.

Give me a women who is frugle who can think past tomorrow night any day over a women who has to have a new car every six months.

I always respect people who try to save.
Its a sign of someone who thinks ahead.

you need new friends.
If they are that shallow, you can do better.
Some of the wealthiest people in the world use groupon and coupons.
Its part of what makes people wealthy.
You know spending less money then you make?
Always on the lookout for a good deal.
 

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

:shocked: Do not use them on a first date under any circumstances! Of course it makes you look cheap.

I've never seen a Groupon I ever wanted to use.

Where do you live? Also try Livingsocial.com, kgbdeals.com, travelzoo.com, bloomspot.

There's a shit-ton here in the DC area...

Hartford Ct is the nearest city. Kind of halfway between NYC and Boston.

I always saw useless ( to me) stuff like....

dog grooming
Karate lessons
manicures

nothing I could ever use.

All I know is that I'm short Groupon stock! I would encourage everyone to avoid using them.

Coach: I think he is shorting the stock and wants them to tank more ( they have done badly, like Facebook).
