Deals anyone?

I feel like I must admit to the world that I am NOT a couponer! I know "everyone" says I should be... I have 4 kids, I am a stay at home mom and we are poor try to live simply. But I just can't do it! Most of the food is food I wouldn't normally buy. I see doing it for other products but it just feels like a part time job for me. Maybe I am lazy but one thing I love is Groupon, Livingsocial, and CityDeals. I love getting an email, seeing if there is anything I want and then moving on! I only buy it if it is something that I have been wanting to do anyway. One thing that I had been wanting to do was to go to the Aquarium. So when Livingsocial had a deal for an adult and child membership for $18 (2 adults and 2 kids [that we have to pay for] 2x$18= $36) and it would normally cost us $34 to go as a family, it was a no brainer for me. The day after we got the deal, I couldn't wait! I wanted to go so bad. Josh packed us all up in the car and told us we were going for a ride. When we started heading south I got excited... until he pulled into the parking lot at F.Y.E. (although I knew there was one closer so I was still hoping) After a short stop at F.Y.E. we got back in the car and we headed to the Living Planet Aquarium!

It was a lot of fun and I am sure that we will find ourselves there often this year. It is pretty far so I am not sure how often but enought to get more than our money worth out of the deal.

My favorite was for sure the penguins! I really enjoyed watching them waddle around and splash into the pool. It was a great time.
