As anyone with access to the Internet is probably aware by now, group-buying and discount services like Groupon and LivingSocial are all the rage these days: businesses offer steep discounts, usually at least 50% off for a limited time to subscribers. Each service will typically offer only one deal every few days, and the coupon must be purchased within a several day window.
Not to be left out of the fun, Wallyhood has partnered up with the inimitable Green Lake Moms group to offer our own deals using Deal Coop. Again, the deals must be at least 50% off and we’re focusing on businesses in our local area.
Today’s deal, for example, is $25 for $50 worth of waxing and facials at the Tangerine Salon on 45th St. Now, sure, waxing and facials isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but we’ve peeked behind the curtain and can tell you on good authority that coming up in the next couple of weeks are similarly steep deals at a fine local coffee shop and an excellent new Wallingford / Green Lake area restaurant and bar.
There are only two deals a week, max, so traffic will be low and quality high. Sign up for the Green Lake Moms – Wallyhood Deal Coop now.
Remember: coupons to local businesses make excellent holiday gifts.
How about partnering with WALLINGFORD Moms instead? Just a thought. You know, for the Wallingford blog?
If Wallingford Moms had a deal coop, we’d totally partner with them. But Melissa Benaroya, the doyenne of GLM, made this deal coop happen and curates it, so that’s the one that exists.
I’d love to help create some momentum around WM’s. We’ll help in any way we can.
History is made by those who show up.

I signed up for the GL moms Deal Coop thing a couple of weeks ago and the deals have been really great so far! Thanks for posting this!
