For those of you that don't know me, I am extremely thrifty and frugal when it comes to money. I refuse to pay more for anything if I know I can get it cheaper somewhere else. It can be hard to live a "spontaneous" and adventurous life when you are stuck on a budget and paying off student loans, and it is easy to become sad and depressed when you feel like you are limited in options for fun. Vancouver has great attractions, but they can come at a steep price. Enter
GROUPON! Everyday, they email you a new "deal" for a Vancouver attraction, be it for restaurants, spas, activities, you name it, they got it! It works on "collective buying power". A company submits to be on groupon and offer a wicked deal, because they know in return they will get a huge boost in business from everyone who purchases their groupon. A deal must be "tipped" with a minimum amount of people purchasing this deal for it to continue. Usually, by the time I have checked my email, the deal is already on for the day. I have already received a mani/pedi from
Solarice Spa for $40 instead of $90, $10 for $25 worth of products at
The Rocky Mountain Soap Company,
and $30 for 30 days unlimited boot camp. These are knockout prices and today's is $10 for an express admission and 10% off to The Vancouver Art Gallery! Immerse yourself in culture people!
Right now, the Art Gallery is showing:
The Modern Woman:
Drawings by Degas, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec
and Other Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris
June 5 to September 6, 2010

ENJOY!
