I got an email from the folks at Groupon letting me know about their new Boston-centric site. Seems like a pretty cool idea. It's like woot.com but for Boston deals.

Groupon is a deal-a-day website for Boston. We launched in Chicago in November 2008 and Boston in March 2009, with plans to expand to more major cities very soon. We've caught on quickly with consumers and business alike and offer a win-win situation for both.

It looks like the way it works is that a discount is offered in the instance that enough folks sign up to make the group purchase.

The deal I missed out on seeing (because I'm slow at reading through my emails) was a half priced one-month community boating membership. The deal that's on the site as I'm writing this post is 24 classes for $19 at Healthworks which sounds like an awesome deal. Unfortunately, that pesky Y chromosome of mine prevents me from taking advantage of that particular deal.
