The hottest new Internet trend is collective shopping. If you already like buying dining certificates from Restaurant.com or 1-deal-a-day sites like Woot!, this is a logical next step for you. Groupon is by far the biggest of these group shopping sites, with a presence in 93 U.S. cities and mobile apps for both iPhone and Android. With the purchase of MyCityDeal, it has become one of the largest group buying websites in Europe, as well. Add to that a recently-purchased majority stake in Japanese Qpod.jp and Russia’s Darberry.ru, and Groupon’s reach extends literally around the globe – 230 markets in 29 countries. And the concept is so elegantly simple, that many other group buying clones are springing up worldwide and other popular online outlets start offering daily deals as a side service to their customers.

Buxr members are serious about finding the best deals, and shop wisely for all their family needs. A recent poll revealed that many of them also consider pets an important part of their family which brings us to the today’s topic: pet related expenses and saving money when you have a pet.
As this spreadsheet at ASPCA shows, average annual pet expenses can go as high as $875 (e.g. for a large dog) but Buxr members are nothing but average and you are going to see very soon that with a little effort it’s very easy to reduce the cost of pet ownership.
One way to do so is through coupons. There are quite a few places to find coupons and special offers that will save on food and supplies.

There’s such a wide variety of deals submitted on Buxr that part of the challenge to visitors of the site is to figure out what some of the items are used for! Buxr members recently had a discussion about such deals, and remembered a few of their favorites. These are some of the ones I liked, in no particular order. Most are still available, and it was pretty hard to narrow the list down to just ten of them!
- This purple hat for small dogs would probably give any male dog a very big ego, while helping to keep the female dogs in line at the dog park!
- The 7-pack of flying monkeys is both funny and useless at the same time. It’s a wonderful gift idea to torment just about anyone. If you’re not sure exactly what to do with them, here’s a demonstation of the flying monkey slingshot. It can be launched up to 50 feet, and the monkey’s screaming as it flies through the air is vital to the effect! (more…)

I’m not sure who’s more excited about getting back to school — the kids or the parents. But it’s a spending event almost as big as the winter holiday season, so a strategy for organizing your needs can sure save a lot! By taking the time to research, make lists and prioritize, you can snag some great deals.
Start by doing your homework
The Internet should be your first stop to research merchandise, find sales, and check competitive prices. Buxr lists a huge variety of store coupons and online coupon codes, and a few minutes of surfing before shopping can save you time and money. Many online stores offer free shipping during prime back-to-school shopping if you want to avoid the mall altogether; but if you do go to the stores, consolidating your shopping in nearby stores will save time and gasoline.
