I don't buy them very often, but I'm always excited to redeem them when I do! I bought one a couple of months ago for a 3-hour house cleaning and redeemed it today. DH just texted and said our house is cleaner than it's been in months. I can't wait to get home to a clean house! I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for more house-cleaning deals.
Do you buy a lot of Groupon/Living Social deals?

I usually do for restaurants that we know we'll go to. And I've done a few yoga packages.

Not very often. My mom buys them ALL the time - they go out to dinner once or twice a week, and always have a certificate.
I think we might be buying tickets to see Rent from a wagjag for our anniversary!

Oh my! Maybe I'll do one of those! Whenever my mom baby sits, she cleans too but I bet she'd like it if someone did that for her.
I usually buy photobook deals.

Nope! I stopped getting the emails. It was just too many a day.

Sometimes for a restaurant we like, or the photo studio ones.

I used to, but haven't post baby since I unsubscribed from their mailings. They were flooding my inbox!

not anymore. I use to buy the restaurant deals but DH and I don't go out anymore

Occasionally. Only if it is a place that we regularly go anyways or somewhere we've wanted to try. I don't buy things just because they're cheap if it isn't something I'd usually do/go to.

We only buy them now for things we need or will definitely use. Usually its like a 3-oil change package at our usual garage, a discount at our favorite Indian restaurant, or most recently, online traffic school DH needed to get for a speeding ticket.

@Smurfette: @Alivoo01: Oh I unsubscribed, too. Way too many emails. I've noticed that now they have a lot of their deals available for a week or longer, so I'll go browse their websites occasionally.

I buy a few a year, mainly restaurants, salon's (mani/pedi), and massages. Have gotten such great deals, so I find them worth it, but I do agree with my inbox being flooded with them. I just ignore most of them.

@lawbee11: i totally searched cleaning coupons after reading your post. 
no purchases, so i'm afraid to be the first!

Just bought 1 today for a picture deal. I use to buy it a lot for restaurants a few years ago but today's purchase was the first in long time.

If you buy a lot of Living Social deals, you might want to check out ebates for an added discount.

Not often, but I've definitely thought about getting one for house cleaning when Baby #2 comes!

A few recently, one for a movie date night and one for a petting zoo visit for LO when he gets a little older.

@lawbee11: Ack! I've been so good since I've unsubscribed because I had been buying a lot. But I just had to look, because of this thread. I bought 5 crepes for about $14 bc of ebates and the 'buy now' timer discount. Woohoo!
Then I came *this close* to buying a cleaning deal I (almost) couldn't resist but double checked with Yelp and deleted my cc from the system. Gotta stay away from Living Social. Just redeemed an expired voucher for face value on Friday when a friend treated me for dinner. It helped to offset the cost at a nice restaurant. Obviously, not a necessity though!!

I usually buy Groupon deals for canvas picture printing to give as gifts to the grandparents. Other than that, I never buy anything else from there.

@mrsjyw: Boo! Well, keep checking back. They always have new cleaning deals.
@808love: Haha glad you were able to get some good deals!

I buy them occasionally for theater tickets. My mom and I are going to the home show with one in a few weeks.

I used to, but not anymore. My mom is obsessed though, and gives me all the extra dinner ones she can't use before they expire. Its the only way hubs and I have a date night these days!

I used to, but then I kept letting them expire! So I unsubbed from all those sites. DH still buys them occasionally for a bike tune-up or something small.
