today i mused on the various websites that allow consumers savings through bulk purchases (LivingSocial, BuyWithMe, Groupon, etc.) it is hysterical to me that a generation who scorns coupons are now completely gaga over.... electronic coupons. i even hate the word 'coupon.' mostly because always say it "kyu-pon" instead of "coo-pon." but i digress. even i have jumped on this bandwagon! am i really this excited over a porcelain bird figurine, simply because 200 other people bought it so now i can save 10%? skirry. to be fair, the only things i have bought on said site are wine and movie tickets, things i actually use. this cartoon aptly sums up GrouponGate (scroll far down.)
