We love old ladies in muumuus with alphabetical accordion coupon wallets, but saving 25 cents on off-brand asparagus chowder is a small victory we can live without winning.

However, only fools scoff at saving money in this economy, especially when the activity is something kick-ass like taking in a museum exhibit, checking out a play, or scarfing down some appetizers and drinks at a new restaurant. Groupon.com features a different deeply discounted deal every day and allows you a great way to discover and explore new things without paying full price.

Cool? Like a polar bear fart in Koyukuk.

Forget the penicillin shot! There hasn’t been a no-brainer like this since your blind date with Nancy “the Nympho” Neidhart.

noun.     The process of leveraging group spending in order to lower cost.

So let’s say Cinnamon charges $25 a lap dance, but only does one every hour. Not so great. But, if she is guaranteed 10 customers an hour that each pay $15 a dance, then she makes $150 an hour, and the patrons also save $10 bucks a dance. Saving money … almost as cool as boobs.
