Quick Credit Cards

I have trouble saying no to a great deal that I think I might use. But a deal isn’t actually a deal when you don’t need it in the first place.

Every morning, I wake up to an inbox clogged with deals from Groupon, Living Social, Buy With Me, Localiter, Eversave and other social deal sites. I usually succumb when I see a deal for a restaurant I love, or a service I’ve been wanting (such as a massage or oil change). Sometimes it works out perfectly and they are put to great use. I have happily redeemed many of these deals since they came into the picture. Other times, I realize too late that I have wasted money. Maybe it’s because the deal was for $25 of food, but it’s at a restaurant where you can’t leave without spending at least $50. Maybe it’s exercise classes that sound cool at the time, but it’s inconvenient.

It got to the point where I lost track of which coupons were with which site.
