Raise your hand if your mailbox pings every morning with a Groupon, Living Social, or any other online coupon? These companies have a great concept! About 7 years ago, Groupon was a unique new idea that allowed us to buy activities at a discount and they are still going strong, maybe not as strong as they once were with the sheer number of coupons they put out daily (I seem to get 6 different companies' email blasts, sometimes twice a day), but they still have an active following.
So, my goal is not to tell you about them, as you already know they exist, but rather ask this: did you know that you can set your email notification to the area to which you will be traveling? This can save you quite a bit of money when you travel and can expose other, lesser known, things to do on your trip. Now, here is the catch, make sure you call the company before you buy the coupon to avoid the possibility the activity has no availability the day you want to go. You don't want to be stuck with a "special" that you can never use because it is too far away. Also, remember to sign up on the coupon website for the city you will be visiting as soon as you know you are traveling there so you have time to get some fun ideas and discounts.
