Is Groupon the biggest waste of time or what?

I saw the clever banner ads for Groupon so I thought I would sign-up. It's free afterall.

What a complete waste of time! I got all sorts of emails offering me things like 'a manicure for my dog' or '50% of a Muslim burkha' or "30" off dry cleaning a fez'. The ads always show delicious food and talk about getting as much as 90% off - but all I've encountered are lame values.

Anyone else agree?

    They keep talking about all the great deals. And the business owners moan that they lost a fortune because they sold pizzas for $3. Someone must be getting a good deal.

    Someone (Microsoft?) just made an offer to buy Groupon for some incredible amount of money.

    I like it, sometimes they have restaurant deals and stuff that I like, I probably buy 1 thing every week or two and feel like I'm saving money.

    You should totally sign up
