There are SO many options for buying gift certificates cheaper now a days. Have you noticed that? I've bought several of the Fandango movie passes through Living Social and LOVE them. I typically pay $8 bucks and get 2 movie passes. HELLO!??!?! That's a heck of a deal. But what about all the others? Are they good deals?--I think the answer to that is YES. But are they helpful for those of us who are on a budget?
That is the BIG question!
If you have gone ALL month while sticking with your budget and then you get a GROUPON notification that your favorite restaurant is on sale at HALF PRICE--do you buy it and blow your budget? Or do you pass it up just like you did the shoes in the mall earlier?
I think all of these "deals" are personally FANTASTIC! BUT--it can get overwhelming. It's like this... I have avoided the mall, I have REFUSED to look on ebay at all the cool stuff I could spend my money on. I've done GOOD! I've stuck to my budget, saved-saved-saved--and then BOOM! Out of nowhere my inbox is full of "Great deals" that I can't pass up.
Okay now its your turn to decide what YOU Think. ARe these "Deals" Helpful---or Hurtful?
I'd love to know what you think!

I try to avoid buying them unless it's things I NEED, like an oil change.
That said, my back has been killing me lately, and the living social deal for an hour massage is REALLY tempting...
