Groupon Experiences - Tried & Review
There is nothing worst than booking a Groupon and the experience is bunk. Let me share what we tried and how we felt.
We are NOT sponsored by any of these establishments or Groupon themselves. This is just my opinion of my personal experiences.

Review: This was my anniversary gift to Jay. It is something he wanted to try and I was hesitant but gave it a go, and boy was it worth it. Please check out my youtube on it for our experience (it's the video we purchased from them with the deal- - get the video over the photos). Overall, the staff was fantastic. The crew was expedient, safe, kind and courteous for the nervous jumpers. They did a fabulous job and I will go with them again if I plan more jumps.

Review: Scuba was always my desire. I do wish I knew the cost of this (please check out my scuba page for the full detailed breakdown). The staff exprience was great, they are very informative and kind. The ocean experience was fantastic. I REALLY enjoyed Catalina and now being certified. I encourage you to look at my Scuba Youtube Playlist & my Scuba page to find out more details - it's a lot and I only want to help you save the most money,

Review: I did this for a home girl's bachelorette get together and I bought is for 4 people (so, double the price from above). Over all, with appointment, things went smoothly and the staff was kind and gentle with great pressure. The girls I went with said they enjoyed it. And the bride's mom actually took her there before. I would recommend if you have the Groupon. It's a good deal, for a small self care treat.

Price: $ 76 (Groupon) + Tip
Description: 50 Minute Couples Custom Full Body & Foot Massage with Aroma Therapy and Hot Stones for Two
Location: 10450 Friars Rd Ste I San Diego, CA 92120
Total time : 1 hr
Type: Massage
Experience:
Redeemed: December 2022
Review: I made an appointment for 10 a.m. and scheduled about a week in advanced. Be advised they open at that time. It's best to schedule a little later. It was honestly an awkward experience as Jay & I could tell the staff wasn't liking that it wasn't communicated that there was an appointment. In the end, we felt weird and have really thought about it again since and haven't tried any new massage places in San Diego.
06 Wholesale Shopping
Sam's Club
Price: $ 25
Description: 1 year Membership + 1 additional household user
Location: 6336 College Grove Way, San Diego, CA 92115, United States
Total time : Can be used all year
Type: Store Membership
Experience:
Redeemed: 2016 & 2023
Review: The first time I purchased was $45 and it included a gift card, food and a rotisserie chicken. This time, no. It is still good and so far this year (2023) I have used it a couple of times. I really enjoy the food court. Too bad the one we have here doesn't have a gas station. Maybe that's a good thing because there are a lot a people and parking can be difficult some days. I do love their new scan and go. It helps me budget and put things back easy and I just pay via my phone & scan out. It's way more efficent.

A. Trapeze
Trapeze High
A coworker invited me to her birthday party at this place . I loved Trapeze High during the party that we purchased more classes to do it again. At our next visit (first real class) we met people who used the Groupon. As to why we know it existed there. The staff is so kind and encouraging for the ones who struggled ( like me) a bit. It was exhilarating and a good group of people (of all ages) do this for fun and exercise. It's an experience that is worth a try.
