Do you GroupOn?

So Woot is cool and all, and it was started around the corner from me in STL, but it doesn't exactly fall into the category of recessionistaism...know what does? Groupon.

If you're not already signed up for their daily deals, you're missing out. Yes, I know it's hard, but you have been, and someone had to break it to you. Some of the awesome deals I've bought in the past 6 months include: a facial for $35, $19 for 5 yoga classes, and $30 for $75 dollars of credit to a local boutique I spend too much time in. They have awesome deals on a regular basis, so definitely sign up for their daily e-mails so you can stay in-the-know...oh, and get "G" credits you can use as cash on the site. Yep, just checking out the deal, you get rewarded, and if you buy you get more points. Instant gratification.

Oh, you don't live here in the humid version of the 3rd ring of Hell? Check out the other cities Groupon services. As a matter of fact, keep an eye out for good deals in places you're going to be vacationing as well--I got a deal for a massage and scrub for a fancy spa New York a couple months back. It was awesome, but make sure you call the place before buying to make sure they're available when you'd like the appointment or reservation.
