Is it just my area, or has Groupon taken a dive?

[bowies]

There used to be 5-6 deals/day and they'd vary between services (housecleaning etc.), spa stuff, food, and events/activities. Now there's 1-2 a day and they aren't appealing at all. No, I don't want $25 worth of hot dogs or Nickelback tickets.

My hopes of getting discounted teeth whitening are dwindling.

Is this nationwide or is my area the suck?

[pugz]

yeah definitely sucking the last few months.

I've been keeping an eye out for a house cleaning one... and they really haven't had much. Most of the services are for like laser hair removal or full on trips. I WANT A CLEAN HOUSE, GROUPON!

ALL mine are spas, get a way weekends, laser hair removal and cleaning carpets. WTF groupon!

I don't even have a local Groupon. If I want local deals, I have to look on BargainBee.com, or worse, ePonToday.com. "ePon" just makes me think of internet tampons or something.

I hadn't really noticed, but now that you mention it, they do seemed to have slowed down.

And kmw, I agree, ePon sounds like some kind of tampon. +o(

I have gotten quite a few teeth whitening ones lately. The ones in my area have been mainly for lasik or liposuction.

The Boston one hasn't been great lately, but I live near another 'large' city in MA and those have been great actually! Lots of date night type ones We are going to a BYOB painting class with friends in a few weeks thanks to Groupon.

Just got a Living Social email for... a 10 hour fishing trip + lunch....

Fuck you Living Social.

Groupon has always been "Look at what you could save on any of these expensive things that you don't give a crap about!" in my city. This post made me check, which I found out that I still don't give a crap about what they offer.

This was one of ours today too. One of my friends said she got one for STD testing. Klassy.

Ewwww!!


Groupon in my area has been okay, but I'm mostly getting spa services and not as much adventure-related activities as they used to, like kayaking. Although I did just get an 80 minute massage for $49.
