Websites like Groupon.com are letting consumers save money at their favorite stores. But you have to share. Groupon only lets you take part in their member only savings by sharing. A certain number of your friends in your city need to sign up for the discount, or nobody gets it.
Groupon says it's a win, win situation for consumers. "It gives the merchant what they want, which is a huge number of new customers, and of course the customer gets what they want, which is a really great price on something cool to do," said Groupon.com CEO Andrew Manson.
Livingsocial.com works in a similar fashion. It offers daily limited time offers in specific cities.
Groupon does include Fresno in its list of cities, Living Social does not.
