Stumbled across this mention of the Groupon website today on the blog of Pat Phelan. It's a great site that seems to be going from strength to strength and I think there's a case to be made for a similar service in Europe!

Groupon is a combination of the words group and coupon. Each day, we offer an unbeatable deal on the best of Your City: restaurants, spas, sporting events, theater, and more. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won’t find anywhere else. We call it “collective buying power.”
