**Reposting this in case you missed it yesterday – Groupon’s website was acting funky yesterday because so many people crashed their server but today it back to normal! 🙂

There is a HOT nation-wide Groupon deal today that you may want to take advantage of!  Today you can purchase a $50.00 Nordstrom Rack certificate for only $25.00!  I love Nordstrom Rack because they have designer clothing heavily heavily marked down.  This Groupon can only be used in-store so before purchasing this either for yourself or for a gift, make sure there is a Nordstrom Rack nearby.  Go HERE to find a Nordstrom Rack near you. 

To purchase this certificate click Tampa, St. Louis, Chicago or most other cities.  This deal is an nation-wide deal which means you do not have to live in one of these specific cities to purchase and use the deal!  Just make sure you have a Nordstrom Rack near you!  Limit one per person, certificate expires 12/31/10.

• If you are new to Groupon, go HERE  and select Tampa, St. Louis, Chicago, etc for more info on the deals.
• If you are an existing Groupon member, go HERE and select Tampa, St. Louis, Chicago, etc for more info on the deals.
