Tips on How to Save With Groupon #Save #Deals #Money

This post has been sponsored by Groupon, but all thoughts are 100% mine and completely unbiased. 

You all remember the company I was telling you about last week that is great to use when you want to save money? Well, I am back to tell you more about the well-known site, Groupon, as well as some of the ways I keep on top of saving with them.



Groupon is an amazing site. Not only do they have coupons, but you can search or browse by type, and they are all in one area. Forget having to go online and search a bunch of different sites for say, restaurant deals. Or bathroom toiletries. That is just part of the reason I love them so much. I can go on, type in what I am looking for, and they pull up tons of deals. And believe me, this is not just a small selection of non-relevant items. I have been on sites like that, and I don't like them. With Groupon Goods, I can find a variety of results that are applicable to what I am trying to find. Now, check out my tips below on how you can find the best deals, and exactly what you are looking for.



First off, you have to sign up! You can't save without being a member. It is absolutely free and you can get specific emails for your area. Those emails definitely come in handy, as sometimes there are deals that are only available to those who received the email. I have had it happen before where a friend got an email with a great deal in it, but because of the area, I didn't get that deal. But, I also want to say, check out the site, even when you don't get an email!! Many times they have a deal go live early in the day but you don't get the email til later. Don't want to miss out by waiting for that message :)



Second, when you search, be sure to use a phrase or word that is not specific. Here is what I am saying. Instead of searching for shampoo, try beauty or spa. It allows their search to pull many results. And sometimes you might find something that you weren't specifically looking for, but will pertain to that item. You can browse the goods, but I prefer to search by a word.

Again, these tips aren't overly major, you can definitely save money any way you use the site, but I have found these to help me find what I need. Be sure to stop by Groupon and check out the deals in your area!

Ace Collins’ ‘Service Tails’ Take-Your-Dog-to-the-Park Pack

Service Tails

Heart-tugging true stories of the courage, faith, and loyalty of remarkable service dogs.
Not all heroic dogs wildly toss themselves into lifesaving situations. Some save lives simply by their incredible commitment to duty and service. Some lead the way to independence for people whose disabilities were supposed to limit their lives.
In Service Tails: More Stories of Man’s Best Hero, prolific author Ace Collins introduces us to leaders whose entire lives are wrapped in the banner of service. Their stories are remarkable snapshots of the value of vision and teamwork, as well as devotion to duty and unconditional love and acceptance–stretching the way we see both canine and human potential. Their training was intense, their loyalty unquestioned and each step of the way they constantly adapt to better serve those they lead. These unforgettable dogs are more than heroes; they are models from which we can learn how to love and serve unconditionally.

MY REVIEW- I have long been a fan of Ace Collins for his ability to not only write a good fiction novel, but also the talent he has in portraying factual accounts. Let me warn you though before diving into this one, you might want tissues handy ;)

Service Tails tells the remarkable stories of our four-legged companion animals. The ones who are there when an emergency happens, the ones who push their charges out of danger and those who make life worth living again. I don't want to give away the tales, but I was tearful and so thankful for my own fur baby who is constantly there for me. It amazed me to see how many of them were not just there for the emergency aspect, but also for the uplifting hope they give their owners. You will not be sorry you read this when you are done!!

Why I Love Saving With Groupon Coupons

This is a sponsored post but all thoughts and opinions are 100% mine.

I am a very thrifty person. If I can save money in any way, I will do it. I mean, who doesn't want to put a little bit of extra money aside, right? And that is the advantage of using a site like Groupon. The money I save by using the coupons through their program, allows me to put some cash away for my cruise fund. So if I can aid you in any way by telling you about this wonderful site, I will give it a try!

Groupon coupons are a fantastic way to purchase items you normally buy anyways, and save money while doing so. But, not only do they have coupons for your everyday products, but also for restaurants, places of entertainment, hotels, spas, etc. Believe me, I have purchased through them many a time and always come away happy.

First off when you go to the Groupon website, you will sign up for an account. By doing so, you sign up for a specific area of the country, mine being Chicago area, and they will send you coupons and deals for that particular spot. Some of the deals are only for a certain area while others are nationwide. One of my favorites I always watch for is Starbucks, as well as Kohl's. I have often bought a $5 Starbucks gift card and then gotten an extra $5 one for free! These deals tend to go very fast though so you have to jump on them right away. The site is great for anyone who wants to be frugal and save some dough. Anyone interested yet? Just follow one of the links and sign up to find out the coupons and deals in your area!

Sweetness Unleashed Prize Pack Giveaway Plus #Review!!

Fetching Sweetness by Dana Mentink




Standing between Stephanie and her dream is one hundred pounds of lovable trouble.

It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author's valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.


But Agnes's canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.

When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings---a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog . . . thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.

Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it's a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.


Purchase a copy: http://bit.ly/2auLee3

MY REVIEW- As a dog person, I really enjoyed the first book in the Love Unleashed series and couldn't wait to read this one. Fetching Sweetness just has that look about it, the goofy and happy dog on the front, plus with a name like Sweetness? How can you resist that face :)

The book is thin but jam packed full of fun dialogue and even a couple life altering points. The heroine is a book lover, a literary agent but not really into dogs at all. Let me just say, if anything can go wrong, it happens to her. I couldn't believe how many times I wanted to reach through the pages and point her in the right direction! I literally laughed out loud a couple times(serial killer with a nightgown and duct tape?) and had my siblings staring at me wondering where my head was. The hero would be Rhett. Drop dead gorgeous and a man who has hurt others in the past and trying to make up for it. The lessons he learns along the way had me thinking at times. The whole doggy aspect is quite fun and my only issue? There is no way the dog on the front is what Rhett says it is. A sweet novel that you will enjoy if you like dogs, heroes swooping in to save the day, or just a book that will make you laugh. Can't wait for the next installment in the series!

Carrie Stuart Parks’ ‘When Death Draws Near’ Undercover Artist Starter Set #Giveaway

When Death Draws Near 

Death has always been part of Gwen Marcey’s job. But when faced with her own mortality, everything takes on a different hue.
Forensic artist Gwen Marcey is between jobs and homes when she accepts temporary work in Pikeville, Kentucky. The Eastern Kentucky town, located deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, has been plagued by a serial rapist and a series of unexplained deaths. Before Gwen can develop a composite drawing, the latest witness vanishes, just like all the previous victims.
Turning her attention to sketching the face of an unidentified body, she discovers a link between his death and a Pentecostal serpent-handling church. Serpent-handling is illegal in Kentucky, and the churches have gone underground to avoid the authorities and continue to worship as they believe. Gwen is offered a handsome reward to infiltrate the renegade members, a reward she desperately needs as it seems her breast cancer has returned.
Joined by her digitally-obsessed, Generation Z daughter, Gwen goes undercover to a nineteenth century revival, planning to draw the faces of the snake handlers so they can be identified and arrested. Instead she uncovers a murderous plot and a festering evil.

MY THOUGHTS- Carrie Parks has done it again! She has written a novel that grabs the readers attention, delving into the world of a forensic artist, and threatening to keep you up all night trying to get it finished!

We are plunged once again into the life of Gwen Marcey, a forensic artist, as she tries to aid the police in their capture of a serial rapist. But you know how life doesn't throw one thing at a time? Well, she also gets a report that her cancer is back, and harsh. There are plenty of twists and turns, intriguing characters including some charming snake handlers, and lots of page turning tension. You won't go wrong with picking this one up!


THE GIVEAWAY DETAILS!
Plunge into forensic artist Gwen Marcey's world, full of cold-case murders, shady politics, and a den of venomous suspects. Add Carrie Stuart Parks' new Gwen Marcey novel, When Death Draws Near, to the top of your must-read list. Gwen accepts temporary work in Pikeville, Kentucky—a small town facing big-city crime. But before she can finish her first drawing of the serial rapist who is on the loose, the latest witness vanishes. Just like all the others. Can Gwen uncover the truth—and convince anyone to believe her—before she becomes a victim herself?
