So if you have been following Exquisitely Unremarkable for any period of time, you know that I'm all about simple and inexpensive DIY. Well, actually, I try to run my whole life like that...no matter what I'm doing, I want it to be easy to accomplish and I always want a great deal.
This is especially true when it comes to shopping. Parking? Fighting crowds? Lugging stuff to my car and then in my house? Nope, nope and nope.
I do most of it online.
And I always use a coupon. Of course, that part isn't always as simple as I'd like it to be. I usually have to go searching around the internet to get the right deal.
No so easy.
Well, this week, I found out that Groupon offers online coupons to many of my favorite retailers!
Who knew?
I have always used them for great local deals, but now I am using them to find awesome discounts at my favorite stores when I shop the web!
And just in the knick of time, since I have a kid leaving for college in a few weeks.
Last night we ordered the most beautiful bedding and accessories from Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Today we're shopping at Barnes and Noble and you know I have a coupon for those textbooks! As a matter of fact, Groupon has several offers for each store and it's all organized for me in one place.
Plus it's free.
Fabulous...and super simple.
Just the way I like it!

How cool Kim! Now that we have moved to the country, I shop less in town.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a savvy solution for me!

I am a huge online shopper, Jemma and honestly, I know I get better deals this way, too!! :)
DeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI need to check into Groupon. Frankly I thought they were mainly for eating out, which I don't do very often. I'm with you on the shopping...ugh...traffic...NO....crowds...NO...if I gotta do that, I just don't go unless I HAVE to have it.
Florence, I thought they only offered local deals, too, but nope! Definitely worth checking out!! :)
DeleteLove this Kim. Thanks for sharing. I am getting to be more of an online shopper myself. I will check this out.
ReplyDeleteHave a great new week.
Kris
Thanks Kris! I love shopping online...it's so easy to compare and browse and get a great deal! :)
DeleteI love Groupon! I've saved a lot with them. I finally got my mom on board with them too. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat site, no doubt! I had a feeling you’d be familiar with their site. You are such a savvy shopper!! :)
DeleteOur Pirates Adventure tickets were all via Groupon, deeply discounted! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!! It looks like it was a great family day, too!! :)
DeleteKim - i didn't know that groupon now reached the larger stores i thought they just catered to local business which i had used in the past. i'll be sure to check for their deals at some of the larger stores that i shop. Many thanks for the making me aware
ReplyDeleteMary Beth
I'm so glad you found so new information here today, Mary Beth! I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of deals offered on their site. Have fun shopping!! :)
DeleteI hate to be stupid but I'm not sure how Groupon works. I get notices from them and I have seen a few things I like but I never clicked because I didn't know how to pay, was there a charge for mailing, etc. etc. etc. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSo as a teacher, I can tell you, there is no such thing as a stupid question! I am happy to help if I can. :) Groupon offers a lot of different kinds of deals. It's easiest if you set up an account, log in, browse around. If you want merchandise advertised there, you can buy directly from the site, I believe there is free shipping over a certain price point of $34.99. For local coupon deals, you purchase through the website, and receive an email with your coupon. For online deals, you click on the deal you want to activate it, then follow the link to the retailer and shop directly from there. I know that they have great customer support, including a phone number and a live chat feature to get assistance. I hope that helps!! Happy Shopping!! :)
DeleteI will have to check groupon out. I love to shop online too and avoid the crowds and parking. I am always looking for deals too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Betty!! I love sharing this kind of information...I'm always looking for a deal! ;)
DeleteI don't know what I would do without online shopping on the mountain top - Amazon is pretty much my BFF, and I've recently discovered JET also. Awesome pricing! Walmart delivers right to my door, and clothes? Oh yeah, I try them on right in my bedroom, and if I don't like them, back they go!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the clothes thing, Deb!! I cannot stand trying on in the store anymore. I like door to door service and if I hate it (in the privacy of my own home!) I ship it back!! : )
DeleteI agree, Teri, I am much more thoughtful about my spending when I am at home. Somehow when I am out, things just hop in my cart, but online, they are much better behaved!! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy kids are huge online shoppers. I rarely do it. I just don't need to buy much. I should be down sizing, but I still enjoy the junk hunt. lol!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
You can't beat the junk hunt, Jann!! :)
DeleteI'm a huge online shopper and love Groupon (love Ebates too). :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome site for sure, Kristi!!
DeleteGroupon sounds great! Thanks for sharing ♥

My pleasure, Summer!
DeleteI've never tried Groupon but I also do most of my shopping online. I tell my husband "I'm going shopping" and he knows that means heading to my computer. And you know what, it tires me out enough, even with the very little shopping I do now. I can't imagine going from store to store anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe stores, the traffic, the people, I get it, Dewena...online is the best!
DeleteI have not used them but will check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should, Deb!
DeleteSomehow I get emails almost daily from Groupon and I have ordered a few things but I did not know about the coupons. Thanks for sharing this good news!
ReplyDeleteThe coupons are awesome, AnnMarie. I did not know about them either....
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am an online shopper too!! I will have to check into Groupon.
Amazon and I are buds. ;-)
Love the UPS man that brings all my goodies to me. ;-)
The UPS man and I are tight, too...it must be those goodies!! ;-)
DeleteI haven't used Groupon in a long time, but I didn't know they had offers for retail stores. I will definitely go look around - thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt was a surprise to me, too, Melanie...pleasant for sure!
DeleteHi Kim, This is great. I became a fan of on line shopping for some time. You are right, it is a big savings and so many offer free shipping too. Having a shop on line myself, I try and patronize here first when I can. Everything from clothes, shoes, my favorite perfume and art supplies to name a few are things I shop for on line!
ReplyDeleteHugs
The free shipping offers are always my favorite, too. If I can get something for free, I am in!!
DeleteThanks I will check it out. I buy lots online.
ReplyDeleteHave fun, Ronda!! :)
DeleteKim, I love on-line shopping and use it quite often. I mostly just go through Amazon, they seem to have everything! But I have used Groupon for local stuff. I love catalog shopping too, hate trying on clothes in stores..Have a great weekend..Judy
ReplyDeleteTrying on clothes in a store has become such a chore for me, Judy...online it is!! :)
DeleteI am a fan of Groupon for sure. They have some great deals.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Vanessa, they totally do!
Deletei have never done Groupon. Looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally worth a peek, Lorri!
DeleteThanks for the reminder, Kim. I haven't used group on in awhile, but since i prefer online shopping too, I'll have to check it out. Online shopping really does make life so much simpler and so many places offer free shipping which makes it unbeatable!
ReplyDeleteIt does make things simpler and cheaper, Susan, that's for sure!
DeleteI've used Groupons for mostly massages, ever since my favorite therapist moved. I didn't know they also offer coupons. Learn something new every day!
ReplyDeletexxx
I need a Groupon massage, Doreen...off to peek!
DeleteThank you for this reminder for me. I've used it in the past and I keep forgetting to check it before ordering anything. I'm like you about shopping, online is so much easier; I rarely go to the mall and only go to local stores when I have to.
ReplyDeleteSo much easier, Carol... :)
