Let's get a Groupon that!

As you may recall I used to have ads and banners for CityDeals.com. But they went out of business, came back to life, got bought out, screwed over their customers, attempted to fix that, and still haven't made things right with their affiliate marketers yet. So I'm not planning on doing anymore business with them, which is sad, because I got some great deals through them! Not one deal was a disappointment!
I'm been slow to jump on the Groupon bandwagon because I was already in the CityDeals bandwagon. But now that that wagon is in the ditch, I've jumped ship, and joined Groupon! I've also signed up to be a marketer through them. You'll see a lovely, nice, long banner ad along the side of the page. And how fancy is it that it updates to your specific location!? (see that, CityDeals? Why couldn't you ever do that? Hmm??)
As we approach Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, and my birthday, I plan to share a lot more deals and ideas with you over at my other blog - Cutting Back and Going Green. But don't be surprised to find a few fun deals here too!

I'm excited to get this deal. I had just sent an appointment to get this exact product from a dentist here in town, and was about to pay closer to $300 for it! (The dentist was going to do the first application of it on me.) I'm more than happy to save the money and buy it here instead!

This is big people. Very big.

Write, write, writing away!

I've been busy writing again! Thanks for putting up with all of my self-promotions!

How to do dating right (Meridian) - I know there is something rather amusing and ironic about me giving dating advice. But nonetheless, here it is.

Jobs by Erin - I've created a new blog with job postings, and some day when I get to it, job seeking advice. Bookmark this page to find the most recent job listings I'm recruiting for! (Don't forget the $500 referral bonus ends on December 31. Get your resumes in now!)

And for the Examiner, I've written about LDS Family Home Evenings (did you know the Church has a website for it now?), CityDeals (and how it saves you money), and another restaurant in Roanoke. I probably won't be writing much more for the Examiner. They have made some content rule changes that work against the incentives of the writers.

And over at my other blog, Cutting Back and Going Green, I have new deals, organic cooking, eco-diamonds, how Coca-cola is saving lives, and information on yoga!

Mmm... bacon and 40% off at IHOP

40% off IHOP at CityDeals people! You pay $12, get a gift card for $20. Not too shabby!
