I feel like it has been FOREVER since I have featured a Groupon deal here, but they’re back with a good one today!

Via Groupon you can snag a $6 ticket to Katherine Heigl’s new movie One for the Money, which is an adaptation of the book by the same name from Janet Evanovich. $6 will get you one ticket, or $12 will get you two.

The movie gets released this Friday and you’ll be able to use your tickets at any participating theater as long as the movie is available.

Check here to find the theatre near you that will accept the Groupon … though most of them should!

Shaina and I took advantage of a similar Groupon last year and went to see The Lincoln Lawyer. {Am I alone in wishing Groupon would offer more movie deals like this?!}

Groupon Has $6 Tickets to Katherine Heigl’s New Movie is a post from: Fantabulously Frugal.

Something I love about sites such as Groupon is that they often allow me to try new things at a fraction of the cost. That is exactly what occured here. I had heard of Bikram’s yoga before, but at $20 a class I felt that it was pricey. I’m cheap, what can I say?! A few months back Groupon had 2 months of unlimited Bikram’s yoga for $49. Now that is a price I can afford!

Have you ever taken a Bikram yoga class before? No? Well here’s a little Bikram 101. “Bikram Yoga is the original hot yoga that’s been featured in the press and on television, famous for it’s miraculous healing ability. It is a very specific 90 minute series of 26 yoga postures and breathing exercises taught in 105′ heat. Each pose is a challenge based on personal abilities; each pose addresses a certain area of the body, bestowing specific and powerful health benefits. The class is designed for beginners as well as for those students who have a regular practice. Every class is open to first time students.” Sounds crazy, right?!

There’s more. “By the end of a Bikram Yoga class, you will have worked every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, internal organ, and gland while systematically moving fresh, oxygenated blood to 100% of the body.”

This was the part I was hoping for actually. As previously mentioned, I didn’t get very much out of my other yoga classes. I wanted a challenge. I think they knew that when I walked in there.

Here’s some tips that I learned from Day 1.

• Drink water! Do this the night before if you are taking a 6 am class like I did. Drink it all night. With dinner. Before bed. Whenever you can. If you are taking a class at night, drink water all day before. Trust me, it makes a world of difference.
• Dress appropriately. I’m an idiot at times. It was cold so I had on sweats. Thank goodness I had a pair of shorts in my car. 105 degrees in sweats probably would have killed me. I did notice that many of the women in the class wore sports bras and work out shorts. The gentlemen work speedos. I giggled. I love me a man in a speedo.
• Don’t be afraid to sit. I was dizzy and thought at one point I might pass out. I’m stubborn as all get out, so I refused to stop. The teacher noticed this and encouraged me to have a seat for a rep, then proceed when I felt better. Even taking that breather for a minute helped immensely. They encourage you to stay in the room, too.

All in all, I’m a newfound Bikram yogi. I loved it. The best part was, at the end, I was actually able to relax. Seriously. That very rarely happens! I shut my eyes and next thing I knew I was out like a light.

After the first class I was exhausted the rest of the day. However, after class number 2. that feeling definitely passed. It’s amazing what this class will do. I don’t know if was all the sweating or the heat, but I only wanted healthy foods the rest of the day. I had a salad when normally I’d scarf down a Boca burger with fries. Perhaps there is something to this yoga thing afterall.

Have any of you been following the apparent implosion happening over at Groupon?  I think it’s incredibly fascinating.

Some of their head people have quit after only a couple of months on the job.  There are reports that Groupon HAS to keep selling new deals to pay off previous companies they’ve worked with.  They’ve delayed their IPO.  The founder sends out weird/inappropriate emails to the staff. The The staff is filing class action lawsuits because they’re not being paid overtime.  It’s crazy stuff, folks.  Better than any soap opera.

It looks like they’ve got a new venture they’re rolling out: Groupon Goods.

Groupon Goods are discounted items that you can buy for a limited time, similar to what you might find on a site like Woot.com.  In the deal above you could snag an Altrec iphone/iPod Speaker Dock for $40 – down from it’s $100 price tag.  This product sells for $77 at Amazon, so after a very brief search this does appear to be a good deal.

According to the Google Goods FAQ, “Groupon Goods features really good deals on great products. To get airspace on Groupon Goods, a product has to be cool enough to share and innovative enough to inspire.”

Are we heading toward a revamping of the daily deal sites, where they all start to get away from selling vouchers for services, and start selling items in a limited format?

What do you think about Groupon Goods?

What Do You Think About Groupon Goods? is a post from: Fantabulously Frugal.

We have all been friends for a long time now, so you know that I love unique jewelry.  Conversation pieces, if you will.

I’m a huge fan of True Birds, so when I saw them featured on Groupon today I knew I had to share it with all of you.  True Birds makes incredibly fun jewelry.

Case in Point:

Harmonica Necklace – $48 – Yep, it’s a real working harmonica!

Sands of Time Necklace – $48

Globe Trotter Necklace – $48

See what I mean? Super cute and unique and I want everything they sell.  Luckily for my wallet they’ve got a Groupon today where $25 will get you $50 to spend at True Birds, which means you’d get any of the necklaces above for just $25.  All of their prices are really affordable and $50 will get you pretty far.

Aside from their online store, you can find True Birds jewelry and accessories at such high-end establishments as Nordstrom, Henri Bendel, and Fred Segal!  {The Groupon is only valid at their online shop.}

Wow -  if you want to go on an incredible vacation but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg, you MUST check out this fab deal over at Groupon.

Just $399 will get you a 7 night stay at a World Resorts International destination in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico! This is a $1500 vacation value!  World Resorts International is a timeshare company, so this will give you access to any of their 500+ locations, as long as there is availability.  Here’s the best part of this offer, in my opinion: They promise not to make any sales pitches to Groupon members that take advantage of this offer!  You’ll be able to go and enjoy 7 nights without getting hassled to invest further in a time share – score.  And, of course, you do NOT need to be a WRI member to take advantage of this offer.

You could use this Groupon to take your family on a vacation to Mexico, Hawaii, Tahoe… the opportunities are numerous!

Here’s some fine print worth reading – don’t worry it’s all good!

Typical WRI properties house about four guests but do not charge extra if any number of guests stay on properties of any size. All taxes, gratuities, and fees are covered with the cost of the Groupon. Room reservations can be made starting 60 days from the travel date, and must be reserved before the Groupon expiration.

You must use your Groupon by June 17, 2012.

Can you imagine – with this offer you could get a one-week-long vacation for up to four people for just $399 + the cost of airfare.  That is pretty incredible!
