*As another helpful hint, I bought a model Christmas tree from Bed, Bath, and Beyond last year the day after Christmas, early in the morning. It is a pre-lit, 9 foot tree and I was able to snag it for $25 after using my Bed, Bath, and Beyond EXPIRED 20% off a single item coupon. Don’t be afraid to ask, it was a great deal for me! They even threw in the red and gold, assorted sizes, ornaments!

As a lover of Woot and everything on sale, I was very excited about the local launch of San Antonio’s Groupon! I have included everything I have discovered so far that I’m excited and why I chose Groupon.com as my newest Website of the Week!
Groupon is just a little over a year old (according to their About Me) by @AndrewMason (music major turned software developer turn who founded The Point.) Basically there is a new deal each day and a certain number of Groupon groupies need to grab that deal before anyone can actually purchase it. If you don’t get enough people for the daily deal then you don’t have to pay. The downside…you don’t get the deal! It’s an interesting concept, on day one of San Antonio Groupon’s launch, Groupon required 20 buys and right now they’re at 269!
Daily Deal: Each daily deal includes a link to the retailer/restaurant, information, and also what the local critics are saying! It also counts down the time left to purchase, what time the designated number was met, and how many people have purchased that day’s Groupon. You can also comment on that days deal…which might tip the indecisive if you put in a good word.
Refer Friends: Refer friends through Facebook, Twitter, email, and your personalized link so that you get the $10 credit whenever your friends make their first purchase!
Alerts: Groupon also makes it easy to subscribe to daily alerts! Find them on Facebook, Twitter, and their RSS feed! They also frequently make blog posts, tweets, and Facebook updates. You can keep up with the main company of check out your local Groupon like I did! Also check back to see what you foolishly missed on their Recent Deals page to see the (DUH) most recent…click here to see all…
San Antonio Groupon
Groupon Gifts: Looking for a Christmas present? Give the gift of the daily deal (HUGE button found on the main page) OR Groupon Bucks. The Bucks can be redeemed at ANY Groupon, whenever they find something they like. Although you can only buy 1 Groupon for yourself a day, you can purchase an unlimited number for friends!
Business: Want to get your business on Groupon? Find out how here. Includes more information about the company, how it works, and the encouraging success stories that contributed to over a 1.8+ million subscribers current registered! Check out what the press is saying about Groupon.
Suggestions: Looking for a particular business but don’t see it yet?! Suggest it here! Groupon has multiple opportunities for your voice to be heard!
For Hire: Looking for a job? Groupons always hiring too… centered in Chicago there are opportunities in Sales, IT, programming, SEO…sounds like a pretty fun place to work!
Make sure you read the FAQ for more information, things that caught my eye:
With almost 48 local cities listed, Groupons is EVERYWHERE!

Although I originally wanted to blog about Black Friday ads, plan of attacks, great deals I personally was excited about I ran out of time as worked sucked the life out of me this month! Just kidding boss…
Anyways, since I now have a second to breathe I am finding all kinds of exciting deals and information and thought I would share it with the class while there is still time. I don’t mind if I’m the only one who uses this post because essentially it is my notes and random Black Friday finds that I want to keep track of somewhere. Since I’m already listing everything in notepad I figured I might as well share it with the world!
Last year I used BFAds.net the most because of its consumer buying guides (suggestions, best deals, and great comparisons on Laptop, TV, camera, Top 10 Toy Deals, etc.) and extensive collection of ads.
This year I’ve been tempted away by BlackFriday2009.com by their beautiful layout, inclusive information of the latest ads, hand-picked deals, and accessible blog. When I’m reading their blog I feel like Brad Wilson (founder of both this site and bradsdeals.com) is talking directly to me, telling me that I should take advantage of this site versus that.
Starting as a deal seeking college student, I feel like Brad and I relate…a lot! I love deals, and his Black Friday blog. Watch what he said CNBC about shopping this Friday and also read his Top 10 Best and Worst (weirdest) deals…both really good! It also easily shows the store hours for each of the stores listed, great for planning reconnaissance! He doesn’t just find the deals…he explains which store is best for which product…saving a lot of time and money for all!
Become a fan on Facebook and follow their tweets about sales. Don’t forget to sign up for their email list. Remember, you’re not just signing up for this year, you’re preparing for next year!
Retail Me Not’s Black Friday list is massive and encompassing. I check this site for promo codes before I buy anything online, check it out for other Black Friday ads.
The following links are not necessarily the obvious Black Friday ads (check out the websites listed above for the big name stores and offers!) These links are to stores and deals I don’t think people know about or thought to check.

My WoW posts boast the best Websites of the Week, in an economy where the DOW and stock markets don’t always treat us well, my DoWs will! Deals of the Week (DoW) will be coupons, discounts, and other deals I’ve found, and consolidated to one organized section. Depending on what’s available I’ll include more or less in various sections of the post.

Growing up, reading the printed newspaper with my dad while he drank coffee was always a special tradition. In order to remind people while online isn’t always best, I decided to post about great deals and alerts I found in different sections of the local newspaper…I’m sure the paper in your city has similar deals as well!
The newspapers website offers online articles, contests (I won season tickets to Splashtown once!!), and other great interactive online resources. Use their Twitter directory to follow individual sections – sports, food, etc. You’ll be surprised how many people are Twittering!
I’m also a big fan of their food section and their annual Reader’ Choice Awards, here’s 2009. List includes picks for different types of eateries and entertainment venus (1st, 2nd, 3rd, & my favorite – Critics Choice.)
Although you can subscribe to the San Antonio Express-News paper online, the best deals are offered in front of HEB or Walmarts where they’re desperate to sell and have additional bonus and great discounts. You can order it Monday-Sunday, Sundays only, Fridays-Sundays…
Favorite Newspaper Days of the Week (and why I like them):
Sunday Newspaper Deals – different sections of the paper

I had a hard time finding the “Affiliate Tab” mentioned in the FAQ…so I included it.
From their “About Me” section” on using BUXR:
Look at all the things I’ve found on BUXR today!
The Magik Theater located in downtown San Antonio only produces plays based on children books. I know they visited my daughter’s public elementary school to preform “School House Rock” and they also visited her private summer school program to give another theatrical performance.
Seating 600 parents and children, the list of performances are rich and fun. They recently announced the return of the production, “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”, which we were wait listed for when we waltzed up, expecting to get a ticket to the show on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. They did find us a seat but suggested in the future either purchasing the tickets online or coming on a slower day (weekday or night). Times normally range from Mon/Tue-Friday from 9:45 and 11:30, with additional showings on Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 2pm. Plenty of options for everyone.
Up-coming shows include “The Kid who Ran for President” and “The Nutcracker: A Holiday Comedy.” After the show, kids have a chance to buy souvenirs and get their programs signed by the enthusiastic cast members. We normally buy the shirt from the show to support the theater and then ask the cast members to sign it. (They’ve always had sharpie markers – bring a camera though, GREAT Kodak moment.)
They also have a small snack bar and you can eat during the performance. There’s a balcony but don’t sit up there if your kid is the kind to want to jump…
Especially if you’re looking for a place to entertain the kiddos, out of the heat, head to the Magik Theater while its showing from July 29 – August 15!
There’s also a very nice park, right outside the theater, covered with a lot of trees. It has swings, slides, and many forts, a very clean, large, and comfortable downtown playground and picnic area.
Follow on FB and Twitter to get the most up to date news, their mailing list also includes summer camp information! Look for the “Buy one, get one FREE” coupon in your Entertainment book (buy 2009′s for ONLY $7.99, normally $25!!!), every school’s favorite fundraiser!
***Final note: Is your child’s birthday coming up and you’ve already done the Chuck E. Cheese thing? Create a magical time and bring the party to the theater! With 3 options, your child will enjoy the play with their friends and have everything set up with the supplies you bring when the show concludes. Pay a little extra and even get costumed cast mates to make cameos!
