Group Buying Sites Group-buying coupons are everywhere, from the monolithic Groupon to sites that service just one or two cities. Some of the coolest coupons are for stuff you never imagined doing, like skydiving. Others offer deals on movie tickets and -- most popularly -- spa services.

Groupon, which recently was heavily courted by Google, is coping with competition from Living Social, which is backed by Amazon.com. Facebook recently launched its own daily-deal program for five markets, and rebuffed Google is now going at it alone in several test markets.

WahandaI never thought I was what you would call a "spa girl".  I've always been a tomgirl at heart, rough housing and watching sports with the guys...that is, until I actually received a spa gift certificate for Christmas one year.  My first massage was amazing and I realized right then and there that I LOVE to be pampered.  Bring on the facials, massages, manicures and pedicures!

Unfortunately, for all of us busy and money-conscious moms out there, pamper weekends can be quite expensive and definitely out of the budgetary ball park.  That's why I'm thrilled to have found Wahanda.  Wahanda is an online resource which brings you the absolute best local spa deals around, some of which are up to 90% OFF!  They offer discounts on a wide variety of health and beauty products and services, such as waxing, tanning, haircuts and more.
