How to Save Money With Groupon Coupons

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.

You've probably heard of the website Groupon.com, which offers amazing deals on experiences like skydiving, cruises, weekend getaways, or beauty related things like mani/pedis, blowouts, massages and the like. But did you know that Groupon has a COUPON section of their website that allows you to save at major retailers like Target, Macy's, Best Buy and so many more??

I love being a bargain shopper. Whether I'm shopping a sale or using a coupon, saving money gives me a little feel-good jolt. I'm starting to use coupons more and more, and make it into a sort of game to see how much money I can save when I go shopping. Groupon Coupons is a great place to start if couponing is new to you, or if you just want to see where you can start shaving off a few dollars here and there on items you already buy on a regular basis. Did I mention it's completely FREE to use?? That's right -- you don't have to pay any sort of membership fee and you can print many of these coupons from the comfort of your own home.

Sometimes you don't even have to print off a coupon, the website just points you to retailers that are having amazing sales. For example, American Eagle has 16 coupons on Groupon Coupons right now, and the jeans coupon takes you to the AE website where it's buy one get one 50% off jeans. Pretty nifty! (Or should I say... pretty thrifty? Sorry. I had to!)

There are so many coupons on Groupon Coupons. Plus, you can search for coupons based on where you live, what stores you want to shop at, or just look at all the featured coupons and see what strikes your fancy!

Some examples of coupons I found are:
  • $32 off your first order with Blue Apron 
  • Buy 2 pairs of Sperry for $119 (they normally range anywhere from $60 - $150 dollars for one pair) 
  • 10% off car rental with Dollar 
  • 40% off print orders $40+ at Walgreens

Groupon Coupons allows you to save on a wide variety of things from events to experiences to clothing and home items!

If you're looking to save money and have fun doing it, I definitely recommend checking out Groupon Coupons!

must have items for a living room




My boyfriend just moved into a new house so I'm helping him figure out what he needs for each room :) His old house came furnished so he's had to buy a lot of new stuff. Decorating a new place can be fun but it's definitely time consuming and can be a little overwhelming. Hopefully this will help him and some of you, too.

 I love white with gold accents, so I'm super into this faux marble table lamp and this gold painted side table. I really like rooms to be bright and well-lit, so I'm all about lamps, lamps, lamps. Mirrors are also good to have on the walls because they open up a room and make it brighter.

 Another item that brightens and livens up a space is a plant. I really like how big green leafy plants look in rooms, but in case you're not a plant person, you could always just get a print like the one I linked above. Isn't it nice? I'm big into gallery walls and Lulu and Georgia has a lot of bright, beautiful prints that would be perfect for a girly office or a super cute living space.

It's important to stay organized in your space, so make sure you have a place for your stuff. If you're anything like me you have a lot of books and candles. I have so many and not enough places to put them. I'm planning to get a bookcase like this one for my room for my books, candles, makeup and jewelry. That's the great thing about bookcases, you can put your stuff on display on them and make it look artistic and pretty.

The last important thing about setting up a living space is to pick out a good color scheme that reflects your personality and/or how you want to feel in your home. I recommend browsing pinterest for some color pairing ideas, or you could always head to your local home depot and pick up some paint swatches. It's a good idea to look at what you already own to determine what color scheme you might already have going on, and then build off of that when you go to buy more stuff.

So, what do you think of my picks? Also in case you need it, here is a helpful article of 33 places to shop for home decor online. It has a lot of really good links including some places I had never heard of. Thanks as always for reading!
