Finally, the discount we've been waiting for
We've generally steered clear of the group discount sites that have spread into the region over the last year. Maybe it's all the hype, or not really being interested in saving $15 on $30 at a place we'd probably never eat.
But today, well, we finally realized just how foolish we've been. The current Living Social deal for the Capital Region: 20 units of botox for $150. Wrinkle filler for $400. Or "laser liposuction" for $1000.
Thank goodness! Because when we inject botulinum toxin into our face, we never pay retail.
(On a side note: that's the screengrab from Living Social on the right. Despite the photo it doesn't mention any discounts on "augmentation." It would seem that would (un)naturally lend itself to a buy one, get one free offer.)

That's funny. However, some of them are great. Groupon recently had one that was $4 movie tickets from Fandango, no restrictions. My hubby and I saw our flick in its opening week. I also bought a $50 coupon at Jack's Oyster House for $25 from CrowdSavings.

Yeah, generally I'm a huge fan (except that I end up spending more money than I need to...), but this one just pissed me off...

BUY botox? Forget retail, you need to get it locally cultured if you want the good stuff. It's a whole offshoot of the locavore movement. (It promises to give whole new meaning to "local anesthetic".)
