Like so many others with hopes of finding a diamond in the rough have done, I too signed myself up for Groupons. If you are unfamiliar with the term, you probably don't use a computer a lot or check your email every day. That being said, it's a coupon deal that gets sent to a group of people. Basically it sends me deals every day aka gets my hopes up when my email says I have new messages in the AM and turns out it's just from an email chain...

Every week I think of unsubscribing until I have get a deal that makes me think of buying it. Like 60% off cupcakes. I mean yes, I'd like to eat cupcakes, who doesn't? Do I really want to eat a dozen cupcakes? I know I'm capable BUT I'm also very capable of getting diabetes. And even with 60% off, that's still like 20 bucks, I can just spend 3 bucks for one and not feel like a huge fatty. So no, Groupon, I'll pass.

Then there are other times I get deals that are so ridiculous I had no idea such things existed. Today for example, I got a Groupon for:


The screen grab is a bit fuzzy but it's for some white suburban we have too much money BS thing called: Stroller Strides. It reads:

"Having a baby often limits parents' ability to take part in the hobbies they once loved, such as working out or sleeping in empty bassinets. Set aside some you time with today's Groupon: for $35, you get one month of unlimited mom-and-baby fitness classes and waived registration fees."

Instead of paying $125 to do lunges on your baby's stroller, you only pay $35! What a steal! Like any good infomercial that comes on at 2am and tempts me (Magic Bullet), I think maybe I'll buy it and show up expecting them to supply me with a baby.

Don't forget to stretch...
