One of the key rules of using group buying sites (and, indeed, any coupons or discounts) is to pay attention to the fine print. Alex and his wife thought they did. The LivingSocial adventure he purchased for her birthday, a kayak tour, required 24 hours' notice for a refund.

By Mary Beth Quirk on April 3, 2011 8:53 PM   60 Comments

Maybe you won't want to eat that double bacon cheeseburger and large fries if the menu you order it from says its 1,600 calories.
