Buying a local Groupon is a cost-effective way to get out and have fun in your area of the country. Take a look at today's Groupon for Phoenix, Arizona: You'll save $80 (46%) on a Hot Air Balloon Ride followed by a sunrise breakfast or sunset hors d'oeuvres prepared by a famous Phoenix chef. And when you buy the Groupon today, it is good until June 21, 2010!

A Groupon is a deal enabled by the power of group buying. Basically a business (restaurant, nightclub, event, etc.) will offer a huge discount and if enough people individually (and separately) agree to purchase the deal, the Groupon is a Go!

In Phoenix today, the Hot Air Balloon Groupon was finalized at 7:26 AM when the total purchased had reached 25. As of 9:22 AM, 147 Hot Air Balloon Groupons had been purchased.

If you reserve a Groupon but the customer response does not reach the threshold enrollment requirement, you will not be charged.
