Since I haven’t used this site yet I can’t personally vouch for it, but it seems similar to a groupon, living social etc. which I LOVE :) I think these types of sites are wonderful for the consumer (b/c you are getting a great price for a service) and for the business merchant (because they can get the word out about their business). It seems like a win-win to me :) ENJOY!
