Ok, I am a reality TV fanatic! My husband says ANYTHING reality-based and I’ll watch it! He’s about right. I don’t like shows like The Bachelor or those kinds of shows, I think it’s gross to go on a date and kiss 1 person and then later that day do the same with another – no thanks!
But, Survivor! Oh, I LOVE it and American Idol? Love it! I recently found a new one: You’ve Been Cut Off! I LOVE it! There are these girls who are spoiled BAD and spend WAAAAY too much and don’t earn any of it! Their families cut them off and they have to learn to cook and clean and work! Oh it’s hilarious and they are such babies about it!
Anyway, I got carried away, the point of this is I just found a story in the Washington Post about a guy who has to spend the next year living solely on
Groupon e-coupons! 
Now online coupon purveyor Groupon brings you Josh Stevens, who has forgone money and a stable home to live for a year exclusively on electronic coupons, putting his every move on Twitter, Facebook and a personal blog.
I wish it were on tv, I would DVR that!
Stevens made his way to D.C. last week as part of a campaign by online coupon purveyor Groupon.
Armed with an endless wad of Groupons, laptop computer, and cellphone, Stevens must make his way to 15 cities throughout the year without ever touching actual money. He can barter, bribe and take handouts, but cash isn’t allowed. At the end, he gets $100,000.
Stevens spent last week and the Fourth of July holiday exploring the District, stopping at several restaurants, the Grooming Lounge spa for a pedicure and Madame Tussauds wax museum.
“There’s people willing to make offers well before I get to their cities,” said Stevens, a 28-year-old Chicago native. “As soon as they hear what I’m doing, immediately they’re entertained by the whole notion and want to find some way to be involved.”
It definitely sounds like an adventure! Here’s a link to the Washington Post Story and here’s a few links to follow along on his journey!
