Apps are a Great Invention

I took my son shopping yesterday partly so he could look around and spend some birthday money and also to hunt for a magazine.  I figured if anyone would have the issue of Nintendo Power we were looking for Barnes and Noble would, but they didn't.  However, looking around in various parts of the bookstore I picked up a puzzle and Z picked up some books for himself.  Now, if only I had my Groupon with me.  I would have saved $10 on all of this.  I wasn't going to tell Z to put the books he wanted back, so what was I going to do.  Wait, I recall that when I bought the Groupon for Barnes and Noble it told me I could download the app.  Good thing I brought my Ipod with me and it was able to pick up an internet signal.  I took a few minutes downloaded the app, put all of my information in to sign in and checked with an associate before I got in line to make sure they take Groupons from electronic devices.  Hooray they did!  All the cashier had to do was type in the long number that was displayed on my Ipod from Groupon and my total became $10 less.  Plus I was able to use my educators discount and saved 20% on each item.  Awesome!!!
