A rather odd placement on the livingsocial main page – just above the monkey and exotic pets picture.  Coincidence? I think not.  Frankly, with all these deals lately, I’m amazed that anyone has any hair left to remove!  This livingsocial deal is for a six laser hair removal treatment package for $99 (a $750 value) at Skin Solutions and The Wax Bar in Glen Ellyn.  See the picture?  No hair on this babe!

What I like about the livingsocial deals is that most (if not all) of them have only have the promotional value expire, not the actual amount of cash you’ve put out.

I’m posting this daily deal to Grand Duke’s restaurant from Living Social because:  1) I’ve never seen or heard of this restaurant on any of the deal sites before and 2) those poor folks in Summit don’t get enough “stuff.”  So, today’s $30 voucher for $15

We’re now coming into spring lawn deal season (most of which suck).  This one is local (Naperville), green and reasonable.

Today’s LivingSocial deal is for Dr. Green, with your choice of two options:  a One-Step Lawn Fertilization ($23) or Three-Step Lawn Fertilization with Two Applications of Weed Control ($69).  Each option also includes $25 to Spend on Future Services.  Obviously, the second option is better, money-wise.

Deets:  Limit 1 package (option A or B) per person, buy additional as gifts • Appointments required and subject to availability • Merchant cancellation/re-scheduling policy of 24 hours applies; voucher subject to forfeiture • All services must be used by same customer; cannot be shared • One-step fertilization (option A) must be redeemed during one visit; three-step fertilization (option B) may be used over multiple visits • Lot size may not exceed half acre of total property size • Service area includes 25 mile radius of 60563 • Other conditions apply • Promotional value expires on September 23, 2011

Interesting concept, a restaurant the combines various cuisines, all hot and/or spicy.  Today’s Livingsocial is the usual $10 for $20 worth of food and drinks to Spice N Grill in Villa Park.  Hey, I know just where this place is – right by Rachel’s evil Wags!  So couponers can eat cheap and then hit the Wags for some extreme couponing entertainment.   The night crew are a pretty friendly group (it’s a 24 hour store), but the steady stream of characters buying cigarettes all night will provide hours of viewing enjoyment.

Deets: Limit 1 per table per visit • I tried to buy multiple vouchers and it let me get as many as I wanted.  Dine-in only (not valid for takeout or delivery) • Other conditions apply • Promotional value expires on July 22, 2011.

Here’s a new twist on the usual half price voucher promo:  Buy this Pappanino pizza deal, watch the trailer for America’s Next Great Restaurant and get two bucks off your deal!  That’s $8 for $20 worth of food and drink, not just pizza.
