Addicted to Groupon
So I am going to a 'Murder Mystery Dinner' event. I really hope I get picked as the culprit.
How did I find out about this? Well, let's just say one part Emily, one part - you guessed it - Groupon.
Groupon has become insanely popular in a short period of time. Sidenote: anyone notice that Groupon is really just the ever-so-slightly cooler/more modern version of QVC (aka the home shopping network)? Down to the very details of the 'this many bought' count on the side. That, and the 'this many minutes/seconds left to buy'. It's really uncanny if you think about it. The most serious similarity - we might be getting some kind of a 'great deal', but 95% of the time, we wouldn't have been buying these completely random things in the first place.
I'm not going to think about that right now. I'm looking forward to my murder mystery dinner.

I signed up for groupon recently. None of the things have really interested me so far though.
I can't say I think of QVC when I think of groupon. Mostly because I've never watched QVC. But your description does sound familiar, so I will agree with you.
YES, it's true! I started off buying anything and everything. I have slowed down, but still have found Groupons that I let expire. I've just started trying to manage my addiction.
